Language Instructor

Γεια σας! I’m a Neurolinguist and a Greek language instructor, passionate about making Greek learning an exciting and immersive journey! Having worked with students from diverse backgrounds, I know that language is more than words—it’s culture, history, and a new way of seeing the world.
My goal is to make Greek feel natural, fun, and deeply connected to real-life experiences. Forget boring memorization! Together, we’ll embrace the rhythm, stories, and traditions that bring the language to life.
Beyond teaching, I love traveling, reading, practicing Pilates, and experimenting in the kitchen—because curiosity and creativity make everything more meaningful, including language learning!
I look forward to guiding you on this adventure. Let’s dive in and make Greek part of your story!

In only 3 months, we were able to cover the full curriculum and pass the exams from the first time. GoA also prepared us with mock exams which made us extra ready. Their interactive and thorough method of teaching was very pleasant especially after a long day at work.
