Modern / Ancient Greek Language and Culture CoursesHello everyone! My name is Kiki, I am a linguist and a (Modern/Ancient) Greek language teacher, currently working on my PhD thesis on the intercultural expression of emotions. I am also a translator and a trained tour guide, constantly engaging in the interplay of language and culture!
I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece, and I 've been practicing teaching for over 15 years now, working within a whole variety of different environments and with people coming from a range of cultural backgrounds. One of the reasons I love teaching/translating is the ongoing process of exchanging knowledge of intercultural linguistic patterns that shape our everyday reality. I am constantly encouraging students of all ages to look out for more than grammatical rules and vocabulary, and to dig into the intriguing aspects of everyday communication.
I thus adopt a communicative/conversational method, supplementing instructory books with verbal training and providing material from different cultural sources.
So whether you want to learn Greek from scratch, or you want to improve specific skills (grammar/syntax/vocabulary etc.), or prepare for the Greek certification exam, or even if you are just curious about Modern and Ancient Greek culture, I invite you to start your learning journey with me!

Giorgia
PhD holder with 15 years of teaching experience, offers private lessons in Latin and Ancient Greek.Hello,
My name is Giorgia. I offer private lessons in Latin and Greek to those who want to improve their translation skills in classical languages.
I have been dedicated to translating classical languages for over 25 years and offering private lessons for over 20 years.
I have extensive experience in classical languages and literature. In fact, I attended the "liceo classico" in Italy, a country whose centuries-old philological tradition requires students on this course to acquire a solid competence in translation from Latin and Greek, as well as a broad knowledge of classical literature, by devoting nine hours a week to the study of classical languages, for the entire duration of the five-year course.
I began teaching classical languages during my university years, while also studying other humanistic disciplines, such as philosophy and literature. In fact, I hold an Italian doctorate in philosophy and am currently completing an American PhD in comparative literature. I have never stopped offering private lessons in Latin and Greek.
My translation method, tested over twenty years of experience which have confirmed its effectiveness, aims to enable students to acquire mastery of a rigorous translation technique based on the recognition of the quasi-scientific "accuracy" of classical languages and which, once acquired, limits the possibility of making translation errors to almost zero.
This technique is based on respect for the syntactic structure of Greek and Latin sentences and on a careful examination of the arrangement of the linguistic elements which constitute them.
By teaching mastery of the different stages of analysis of the Latin and/or Greek sentence, the translation technique that I propose allows the student to:
- speed up translation time
- limit concerns related to the apparent incomprehensibility of classical texts
- strengthen knowledge of Latin and/or Greek grammar
- acquire the correct method of searching for words in the dictionary
- benefit from increasing familiarity in constructing the general meaning of the text to be translated
- broaden one's knowledge of the classical cultures which are the basis of our humanist culture.
This technique is aimed at all students who wish to master translation, also to succeed in the Latin and Greek exams for the Agrégation and CAPES competitions in Modern and Classical Literature, and at those who wish to cultivate this study in order to better understand our humanist culture which has its roots in classical literature.
Thank you for your attention!

Greek for foreigners - Discover the Greek Language with a Scientist's precision!Hello everyone! I'm Liana, a 26-year-old biologist with an MSc, currently working in Clinical Trials. You might be wondering why I’m here. The answer is simple—I have a deep passion for teaching and sharing the Greek language while connecting with people from around the world. Having studied abroad and built friendships with people from different cultures, this is something I truly enjoy. Although my expertise lies in applied sciences, I have always been fascinated by the beauty abd complexity of the Greek language. I can’t wait to embark on this language-learning journey with you!
During my university years, I tutored middle and high school students in various subjects including Language, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. While on my Erasmus exchange, I also had the opportunity to teach Greek to some of my international friends, which was an incredibly rewarding experience.
You've probably said, 'It's all Greek to me' more than once! Together, we’ll dive into the Greek language while also exploring the rich cultural heritage that shapes it. Language is a key part of culture, but it's not the only one—by discovering Greek traditions, from its alphabet to its dances, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the beauty of the world’s oldest living language.

📝The Greek alphabet
📝Grammar rules
📝Vocabulary
⚠️Important Note:
Since I’m not a certified Greek language teacher but a native speaker, I will teach you Modern Greek from the perspective of a native. The focus will be on speaking practice (writing can also be taught), and building vocabulary to help you understand everyday conversations and express yourself with ease. If you aim for casual learning of the language I can also assist you.
If you already have a good knowledge of Modern Greek and just want to sharpen your skills, I can help you with extra speaking practice and answer any grammar questions to improve the flow of your speech and deepen your understanding.
