Athina

Christina R. from New York, NY

Athina is very patient and easy to work with. She understands the differences and nuances between the Greek and English languages and she always takes time to explain the meaning and roots of the Greek words. Our lessons are never rushed. She's very warm and friendly and makes learning Greek an enjoyable experience.

Anthony L. from New York, NY

Athina has taken on the challenge of teaching me Greek from scratch. Let's start from the beginning. Discovering you have a passion to learn something and taking the first step to start learning is not necessarily easy. On top of that, finding someone that will attenuate to your schedule, learning style, pace and goals can be near impossible. Athina was not the first Greek tutor I tried, but I'm sure sticking with her through this, as I know she is sticking with me. A native Greek and a lover of languages - Athina has the duel threat of both being able to teach the language the way it should be spoken, as well as a personal understanding to teaching and learning the mechanics of any language in the first place. She methodically breaks down the language, tying words to their ancient meanings and sources, but also consistently keeps the learning modern, so as not to get bogged down in ancient rhetoric, but to learn a useful and fun modern Greek. I highly recommend Athina to anyone looking to learn modern Greek.

Athena is a very bubbly person which helped break the ice with my 2 little girls. They took to her immediately which is not a given!

Veralyn B. from New York, NY

Athina is, as her name suggests, from Athens and she has been great fun to learn from. She also understands all subtleties of the Greek languages both ancient and modern. I am always concerned about learning a language from someone who speaks authentically and who also has the full academic credentials to teach the right things in the right way. She certainly has both, and she is a warm and affable person as well. She is also very positive in the learning process.

Athina is an extraordinary tutor. In every lesson she inspires me to learn more and discover the beauty of the Greek language and civilization. Not only have I learned Greek in a short period of time, but I discovered a whole new world through Greek mythology and literature. So happy to have her as my tutor.

Nancy K. from New York, NY

I was hesitant to start Greek lessons, thinking the task ahead would be monumental. Maybe so, but working with Athina made the process possible. She has a keen sense of how much to put out and how much to rein in, very steady at the helm. After one lesson with her, I truly believe I can learn Greek.

Katerina P. from Brooklyn, NY

I hit the jackpot with Athina. I wanted to add an academic/cultural twist to my learning of the Greek language and she has done exactly that. Everything is presented in a clear, challenging and enthusiastic way. I am incredibly excited to continue working with her.

Vasili P. from East Elmhurst, NY

Athina is a very innovative tutor. She uses modern methods and teaching material; introducing me new ways of learning. She is a good listener and adjusts her tutoring to my needs. I am very happy that she is my tutor.

Patrisha M. from Brooklyn, NY

Athina and I had an excellent tutor session. She is extremely patient with me. I had trouble with a particular lesson and we were able to figure out where the gap was in my learning. After that, it just clicked. She is very good at teaching to my learning style. She takes my suggestions of how I want to learn and applies them to her teaching. She also pushes me beyond my level in order for me to make mistakes so that I can see for myself the composition of a word or phrase. Very bold, but very useful for me as a student. It makes me think beyond what she has taught me. She does this because she is confident in my abilities and knows how serious I am about learning Greek. As teacher and student, we work very well together and our time spent has been fruitful. Athena is also adaptable and passionate about her craft which makes learning fun. I have every confidence that she will help me accomplish my goals.

Had my first Ancient Greek lesson with Athina on Thursday. Athina is a wonderful tutor, who is willing to break down everything and review with you any questions that you may have. Her lesson plans are very clear and effective. She is always prepared to teach, too. Athina is very easy to work with and has a great passion for what she does. I am very happy having her as my Ancient Greek tutor.
