About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am passionate about modern and ancient languages, and I want to instill the same passion in others. Focused above all on the relationship I create with my students, I adapt my teaching methods to their individual needs, and when the opportunity arises, I take pleasure in integrating their personal interests into my lessons: for example reading excerpts from Greek comedies with a teenager who wants to become an actor, or talking in German about bicycles with a cyclist. I do not hesitate to use visual or auditory aids to enrich the lesson and stimulate the interest of my students.Special needs (autism, ADHD, dyslexia ...): I had the chance to teach several adolescents and adults with special needs, which I have always approached with seriousness and sensitivity. I gladly take into account the specific experiences, preferences and difficulties of you or your child in my lessons.

I offer tutoring (help with homework, revision, oral practice ...) in German and English, for children, adolescents and adults of all levels. The approach that I propose is as serious as it is creative, and my learning methods are adapted to the needs and preferences of each one. Whether reading Goethe or discussing movies in English, I will be happy to motivate you or your child to study these languages.
English is my mother tongue, and I speak German fluently (among other things thanks to a bilingual high school diploma and a one-year exchange that I did in Munich). I have been offering tutoring in these two languages since 2010.
I am an independent tutor with extensive experience in teaching languages. I am a native French speaker, and I have completed a Masters degree in languages and history at the Faculté des Lettres of the University of Geneva (UNIGE).
I offer private French lessons tailored to the student's level and needs, in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. My methods are interactive, creative, and focused on building practical skills - so that you feel confident using and understanding French in your day-to-day life.
Areas I can assist you in include:
• learning basic or advanced grammar;
• becoming comfortable in holding everyday conversations;
• practicing your writing skills, including correct expression and spelling;
• broadening your vocabulary in fields relevant to your interests (eg
business, shopping, travel...);
• and improving your command of various other aspects of the French
language - just let me know what you want to work on!
Lessons may take place at your home, at another location of your convenience, or online via Skype or Zoom.

Private lessons in Latin - Greek - ancient culture - HebrewIf you want to learn the secrets of French, its complicated spelling, its sometimes obscure grammar, the history of its vocabulary ... do Latin (and Greek!)!
Moreover, a Latin course is compulsory at the University when studying Romanesque diapers (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), ancient history and archeology.
At the same time, you will discover the foundations of our civilization which has deep roots in Antiquity.
I taught Latin and Greek in secondary 1 (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and 2 in the cantons of Vaud and Geneva: I can help prepare for exams.
Adèle
Greek rehearsals for the first/second grades of middle schoolThe first years of Greek in college are often complicated. Despite its beauty, the Greek language is a real grammatical martyr if you do not base your learning on solid foundations. I am therefore here to explain to you the concepts that you struggle to grasp as well as some basics of civilization, always linked to the text.
Will
1st Class Cambridge Graduate – Latin & Ancient Greek ClassesFlexibility is central to my approach, and I will adapt our lesson plans to your specific needs and objectives. I have a deep knowledge of Latin and Greek linguistics, and offer tuition to all levels from Beginner, through GCSE and A-Level, up to those studying Classics at university.
In our first lesson, we'll get to know each other and discuss your objectives and style of learning - I want to understand how you like to learn, what you find easy, and what you find difficult. And from there, we'll develop a well-prepared, interesting and valuable lesson plan.
If learning a language is the scariest thing in the world to you, don't worry! I will always be a friendly, patient and devoted tutor. I have experience tutoring students in 4 different languages over the past 5 years. I understand the importance of sympathy and patience in teaching, and will always be able to slow down or speed up the course of learning as required. Latin and Greek are not easy, but with an experienced and friendly teacher, it can be a brilliant experience!
I'm happy to run lessons of any length, and at any frequency.
At various times in my life I've personally tried to learn almost 20 different languages (though Latin and Greek remain my favourites!), so I know very well how it feels to be staring at a page full of weird-looking words, and not have a clue where to start. Helping people to cut through the chaos, and see the wild beauty of complex languages like Latin and Greek, is one of the most satisfying feelings I've had through my years of tutoring both children and adults. My mission as a tutor will always be more than just to build your ability in these languages, it will be to build your love of them as well.

Justyna
Learn (modern) Greek for everyday use, university, tourism with FUN and passion / (ancient) Greek for school and universityI am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.
During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.
I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually.
I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).
During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.
I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.
What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).
Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax:
- Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,
- Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho,
- Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.

Greek language or Ancient Greek/ history and mythologyGreek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins.
By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature. Classical works by authors like Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes are best appreciated in their original form, capturing nuances and meanings that translations might miss. Additionally, modern Greek literature offers rich storytelling and contemporary insights into Greek culture and society.

It's all Greek to me: Learning Ancient Greek in a modern wayHaving the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, the Greek language holds a very important place in the history of the Western World.
As a native speaker of Greek and holding a BA in History and Archaeology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as well as an MA and a PhD in Classical Archaeology from the same University, I am ready to help you learn Greek effectively and pleasantly.
Either being a beginner or an advanced student, you can get acquainted with the Greek Language and Culture or penetrate its mysteries through intensive or specialized courses.
Having a ---more than 20 years--- experience in Teaching Greek for children and adults, I would be glad to share my passion for the Greek language, Ancient and Modern alike, through courses built upon each student's level, motivation and learning needs.
This course is addressed to those who:
---Wish to gain a basic knowledge in Ancient Greek.
---Wish to prepare especially for their exams in Ancient Greek (university entrance exams for senior high school students or university students of all levels).
---Wish to learn Ancient Greek in depth and gradually gain access to literature, culture, and ancient history.

Patristic Greek: Language and Theology of the Church FathersDelve into the writings of the early Christian Church Fathers with this specialized course in Patristic Greek. Designed for students with a foundational knowledge of Koine Greek, this course offers an in-depth exploration of the language and theological concepts found in the texts of key patristic authors such as Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa, and John Chrysostom. Other texts can be selected according to the student's interest.
Through close reading and analysis of primary sources, you will gain proficiency in the unique linguistic characteristics of Patristic Greek, including its vocabulary, syntax, and stylistic nuances. The course emphasizes the theological, philosophical, and historical contexts of these writings, allowing you to engage with the doctrinal developments and ecclesiastical debates that shaped early Christianity.
Course topics include the study of homilies, theological treatises, letters, and creeds, with a focus on understanding the exegetical methods and rhetorical strategies employed by the Church Fathers. Additionally, you will explore how Patristic Greek differs from the Koine Greek of the New Testament, and how it reflects the evolving intellectual and spiritual life of the early Church.
Ideal for students of theology, church history, and classical studies, this course equips you with the skills to read and interpret Patristic texts in their original language, deepening your appreciation for the enduring legacy of the Church Fathers in Christian thought and tradition.
At least some prior knowledge of Koine Greek required.
Andrés
Ancient Greek, Latin and Spanish Language (online and face-to-face)Hello! I am Andrés and I have a degree in Classical Philology. I teach Latin and ancient Greek classes, at all levels, both for school reinforcement and if you want to learn these two languages for pleasure. I like to teach these subjects based on new methodologies that make learning them more enjoyable and pleasant for the student. In addition, I like to complement the teaching of these languages with culture and history classes, since it is very important to know the context in which we move in each class. Anyway, I adapt to the needs of each student. I also teach Spanish Language and Literature reinforcement classes, both for Primary, ESO, Baccalaureate students, and those who take the University entrance exams. Flexible schedule.

Latin, Ancient Greek, and Biology tutoring classesI have several years of experience tutoring students of different age groups in Latin and Ancient Greek. I am deeply passionate about these languages and I enjoy helping students improving at them.
I believe that understanding the structure of a sentence is fundamental when approaching these languages, therefore this is an important focus for me. During the class I always dedicate some time to reasoning and translating sentences together with the student.
I have a BS in pharmaceutical biotechnology and I am currently a master student in Medicine. I find biology very fascinating and I have been tutoring it for years now. Depending on the topic and the student's needs, I structure the lessons differently. I usually explain the topic and use tools such as spaced repetition, notes, conceptual maps to make sure that the student has understood.

Basic Syntax and Grammar phenomena of the Ancient Greek LanguageAn introduction to the basic syntactic and grammatical phenomena of the ancient Greek language. We use texts from the ancient Greek Literature (Ancient Greek History, Tragedies and Myths) as well as the Bible or Byzantine Hymnology in order to better understand the structure and way of thinking of the Greek language. The course is addressed to anyone who either has or doesn't have a knowledge of the Greek language. It is built as a personalized course, based on each student's level, motivation and learning needs.
Serdane
Old language courses for high school students.My name is Serdane and I offer ancient language courses to secondary school students who may have difficulty developing a working method that suits them. Extroverted and bubbly...and above all, a lot of humor!
Everyone learns in their own way. This is why I do not adopt a rigid method, but rather I adapt to the specificities of each student. I assess their level, their strengths, any weaknesses or delays, and I adjust my course accordingly. My priority is to restore the student's confidence: Latin and Greek are accessible to everyone when they are well explained!
I believe in the effectiveness of active teaching methods: I encourage maximum student participation, guiding them to discover what works best for them. This allows him to continue his learning independently.
Finally, I provide specific help for the preparation of questions or exams in more complex subjects.
My price includes full tutoring (private lessons, possibility of asking questions outside of class hours, assistance with writing and correcting questions, etc.).
