Γεια σας! I am Katerina, 30 years old and live in Thessaloniki, Greece. I have a BA in Greek Philology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with a grade of 8.94 and a MA in Sociology from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Ι have over 6 years of experience with teaching Greek to foreigners in the Open Universities (Volkshochschulen) in Bayern, Germany as well as in private language schools and preparing students for the Examination for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Greek (CGL) and for the Greek Citizenship Examination. Moreover, I have the EUROLTA Certification (Foreign Language Teaching to Adults). I like setting clear personal goals with every student in order for the progress to be obvious even from the second lesson. I am a positive, patient, kind, supportive and creative person with knowledge of teaching psychology. I can adapt any material in the needs of every student depending on his/her goals and I can teach in a way natural to every student. Being an avid learner of languages myself, I know first-hand the trials and tribulations of learning a language and have developed some unique ways to help the student learn in a fun and efficient way. I can teach "by the book" but also outside the box! Central elements of my lesson are humor, honesty and generally a good-willed stance :)
