Понимание прочитанного - Учителя греческого

I've been teaching Greek as a foreign language for four years now as an online tutor to students all over the world. I've taught students of various levels and interests, from absolute beginners having no contact with the language to advanced students who wish to reach a proficient level of language competency. I've also been teaching English as a foreign language for ten years as a certified teacher in a language school in Greece and as an online tutor. Currently, I am working as a Research Associate in the University of Athens in a research centre dealing with Applied Linguistics and research in language testing and assessment.

I am a Greek teacher with MSc in Educational Psychology (excellently rated). Studying Psychology helped me to understand my student's needs and made me able to handle students with special needs. My lesson is individually based on each one's necessities and potentials. Additionally, I studied and know perfectly how to use Student-Centered Instructional Strategies. The last eight years I have been teaching the Greek language to children and adults from countries all over the world. I also have been accepted and I'm about to begin (on September) a second MSc in Technologies of Learning and Communication. It should be mentioned that I have written my first scientific article, about the pedagogical approach of Celestin Freinet, in order to be published on September. Now I am working on another one (always the central theme is education).

I have been a professional tutor of Greek (my first language), as well as a certified translator, for 30 years. I graduated from the Greek & English Language Department of the University of Athens with a BA. I have tutored adult students from Europe, America, Asia and Australia. My extensive experience enables me to adapt any material to the level and needs of each student. I treat language as a tool that helps people to communicate and express their everyday needs, rather than as a system of rigid rules. The student is exposed to and uses Greek from the very first lesson. I use a wide variety of teaching materials ranging from course books to stories, newspaper articles, videos and songs.

Learning Greek is a magical journey to a fascinating culture. Delicious foods, adventurous history, exotic beaches, crazy people and this deep sense of unpredictability. I adore the Greek History and Culture and i have been teaching Greek as a foreign language for years. We will have amazing time together and i have no doubt that my experience will help you master the language fast. By the way, i am Stefanos, 28 years old and i love multicultural environments! I have traveled a lot, i have lived abroad (in the best city of the world, Helsinki) and i am really passionate meeting new people from all over the world. I have studied Greek Language and Literature in the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Since i was a kid, i knew i would become a teacher. I love sharing my knowledge with other people than just making academic research for years. I started working as a Greek Language Teacher for a company based in Athens that had hundreds of international employees from all over the world and my duty was to teach them Greek fast and efficiently. I had students of all the levels (A1-C2) and various groups and the lessons were online in order to save time for the students. Since then, i have taught the Greek Language to hundreds of students. My teaching philosophy: -Speaking is essential. You CAN'T learn a language without speaking. So speaking will be the top priority. -Grammar has to be taught clearly and in an easy way, however Grammar should not prevent the student from speaking. The main purpose is to be able to communicate. -Reading is also a vital part of every lesson in order to boost the vocabulary and become familiar with Greek texts. -Homework will be provided after each lesson. -Listening exercises will be also given as Homework. -Writing is a great way for further improving for command on the Greek language regardless if you are a beginner or a fluent speaker.
