George N.

I have been taking lessons with George twice a week for the last two years. I am extremely pleased with the progress that I have made. George consistently removes hurdles that get in the way of my learning. His solid command of English grammar and knowledge of Greek (both modern and ancient) help me every time we talk. He is always on time, always patient and clearly cares about my learning. I first became interested in learning modern Greek after feeling frustrated with my efforts to learn ancient Greek. The Greek language relies so much on spoken aspects, and to really understand the Greek verb system I believe that you simply must speak it. I communicated my goals to George right away, and we have gradually worked to develop a customized lesson plan that involves speaking, reading and writing in every lesson (it is an action packed hour!). I highly recommend his lessons to anyone interested in cultivating a deep understanding of Greek Language, history and culture.

I really enjoy my lessons with George. He is patient and friendly and always comes to our lessons well prepared with a variety of different materials. George has been able to explain some challenging texts in such a way that I am able to understand. I would particularly recommend George to anyone wishing to work on their pronunciation - he excels at that - something which not all teachers appear comfortable doing. George also speaks English fluently, something which I believe is useful, especially for students who are at the start of their Greek language-learning journey. Overall, a really great teacher!

Again, he met me exactly where I was and gave me lots of positive reinforcement!

If there is any teacher who can make his most unconventional student learn and want to know more, you are definitely the one. You know a lot of things, you easily move on to any subject, you make the time go by unnoticed and it is a joy to learn from you. Even if I don't write comments very often, I would like everyone who wants to learn Greek with you to know that we are lucky to have you as a teacher. Thank you for everything, George! Let's continue and enjoy the results together.

One of the best teachers on here!!

George really hit the ground running and was very responsive to exactly what I wanted to learn.
