As a child she already knew would become a teacher as she always enjoyed sharing knowledge with friends and family and helping them to learn. She grew up in Greece, and moved to Spain to study at university, where she spent 10 years altogether. She studied Hispanics at the University of Malaga where she also completed a Master's degree in Spanish Linguistics. In 2010, Eleni moved to London where she continued her studies and developed her career as a teacher in Spanish and Modern Greek. She has worked for various state and private schools, in different educational environments and with students from all ages and levels. Eleni also furthered her studies by completing a PGCE course in languages from the Institute of Education and an MTeach degree from University College London.
