Coursebook: Klik sta Ellinika A2 (ISBN: 9607779657) Certain sections of the book may not be covered in their entirety. The tutor will supplement the coursebook material to enhance the learning experience.
I hold an MA in Modern Greek and Italian Language and Literature from ELTE University in Budapest, where I specialized in Neo-Latin Linguistics and completed a Teacher Training Programme. I furthered my studies with a postgraduate course in Teaching Modern Greek as a Second Language at the University of Patras, Greece, supported by a Greek Government Scholarship. Additionally, I studied Neo-Latin Linguistics for a semester at Roma Tre University in Italy on a scholarship. My approach to language learning emphasizes communication and real-world application, focusing on conversation to help students confidently use the language in everyday situations. As a CELTA-certified instructor, I incorporate communicative teaching methods to create an engaging and immersive learning environment. I believe that learning a language is also an opportunity to explore its culture, history, and traditions. Through my lessons, I encourage students to embrace both the linguistic and cultural aspects of Greek and Italian, making their learning experience enriching and enjoyable.
