    About Me

    I grew liking teaching ever since my student years at the University of Athens. I believe that offering my knowledge and expertise, I attempt to open my students' horizons and let them explore new (linguistic mostly) domains in life in general and language learning in particular.

    I also like studying, from a linguistic perspective, humorous elements in Greek texts, so get ready for some awfully Greek anecdotes during class.

    There is another part in me, not just work and no fun. I like watching anime, reading manga, and exercise. Feel free to delve on these matters in class, by speaking Greek preferably!

    Education

    Bachelor in Philology (Specialization: Linguistics)-National & Kapodistrian University of Athens (2014-2018)
    Master of arts in Linguistics (Language and Communication)-Leiden University (2022-2023)

    Experience / Qualifications

    Erasmus+ Traineeship in Teaching Greek as a foreign language to students in 2019 (Prague-Czech Republic)
    Text Editing Certificate-Patakis School (2021)
    This course is designed to provide students a linguistic and cultural background about the modern Greek language. During the course, we will focus on listening, reading, writing and speaking, all while providing examples from the contemporary Greek culture. Additional emphasis will be given in Grammar, Syntax and Spelling. In this way, the students, not only will enrich their vocabulary but will also learn to use it when forming grammatically correct phrases and sentences. During the class, we will experiment ourselves with different teaching methods, to find the ones that suit the needs of every student, given that every student is unique and they learn on their own way. Let's open a window to the Greek language and culture from each and every corner of the world. I can be your guide during that fascinating linguistic and cultural journey.

    (Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School Students
    High School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material. The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working. Topics include, but are not limited to: -Linear Algebra -Calculus -Trigonometry -Geometry -Set Theory -Analysis If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message! Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you! The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

    Quality Tutoring of Eleven Plus, Maths, English and Science for students aged 4-18.
    What I offer: A Level: Biology GCSE: Maths, English, Science KS3: Maths, English, Science 11+: Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning KS2: Maths, English, Science KS1: Maths, English, Science I am a qualified teacher (DBS checked) and have over 4000 hours of tutoring experience, with students ranging from 4-18 years old. On top of that, I also helped my brother gain entry into Cambridge University for Economics and have seen countless other students succeed under my mentorship. This is because I recognise that there is a process and that if students follow that process, they are guaranteed to succeed. I try my best to make learning enjoyable for students but I also have high expectations as I believe every student has it in them to achieve the top grades. I provide homework for each and every lesson. If students struggle with it, they come to me the following lesson and we go through the mistakes. I teach them the techniques to combat their weaknesses and this ensures they are ironed out, guaranteeing improvement. Students can also bring me work they are struggling with independently. All the students that have come to me have improved and rapidly. Testimonials: 'He helped my daughter get into Forest School. The homework and regular advice really made all the difference. We cannot thank him enough.' - Mr. Atwal 'Starting with him was the best decision I made for my son's education. He did so much better in his GCSEs than we expected. He was on track for Ds and Es and managed to get nearly all A*-B! Imagine what Umar could've achieved if we'd found him earlier!' - Mrs. Ahmed 'Vinay helped me so much with A Level Biology. I got an A (very nearly an A*) and am now studying Dentistry at university.' - Raman
