About Dimitra

Welcome to my world of diverse qualifications and expertise! I’m excited to share my journey and the skills I’ve gained along the way. With a passion for teaching and a solid academic background, I’m here to create an engaging and nurturing learning experience.

I’ve delved into the world of academia, earning an M.Sc. in Modern & Contemporary History and a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with a focus on Medieval & Modern Greek Studies (QTS/UK).These studies have given me a strong foundation to support my students effectively.

One of my personal accomplishments is my thesis titled “From the “Triumph” to the “Conviction”: Analysing the United Opposition in Government (1920-1922)”, which received a high grade. This experience taught me the value of dedication and hard work.

My commitment to learning continued with a Diploma in English History and Freelance & Feature Writing from the reputable London School of Journalism, UK. These experiences have honed my writing skills, which I love to share with my students.

Meet My Team

Anna

Hello! My name is Anna Mari and I’m a certified bilingual teacher (Greek and English as a Second Language) with 7+ years of experience in the USA and Greece. I have completed my Undergraduate Degree at the University of Patras majoring in Primary Education in the Greek language. Also, I have furthered my studies by obtaining certification for English as a Second Language (TESOL/TEFL).

To be more specific, I have worked as a Greek as a Second Language teacher for both young and adult students in Chicago, Illinois, both in the private and public sectors. In Greece, I have taught English as a Second Language to native Greek speakers of all ages.

Teaching has always been my passion and it is with great joy that I have the opportunity to offer my expertise through MyGreekTutor to students across the board!

Ero

Hello! I’m Ero, and I was both born and raised in northern Greece. I graduated from the Department of Greek Philology at the University of Thrace, specializing in Classical Studies—focusing on Ancient Greek Language and Latin. Subsequently, I pursued further studies in the realm of Modern Greek literature, undertaking a master’s degree programme. It was during this time that I recognized the significance of imparting Greek language skills to adults, teenagers, and children. My teaching experience flourished in a multicultural setting in Barcelona during an Erasmus Internship, complemented by a year-long residence in France. My enthusiasm thrives when connecting with individuals eager to learn about my language and culture. I am dedicated to guiding you through this enriching journey of discovery and enjoyment. Fluent in English and French, I also indulge in dancing and painting. Naturally, engaging in discussions about art, travel, and diverse cultures brings me immense joy!

Alexandra

My name is Alexandra Karouzou, and I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was 8 years old. I am Greek-Canadian, so I am a bilingual speaker and very interested in (and proud of!) both cultures, traditions and languages that make me, me. I have studied Translation and TESOL, and I have participated in many seminars and workshops over the years. I have been teaching for 14 years and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. I strongly believe that all students have the abilities to master a language, and I love helping them unlock their potential. My students have described me as “kind, patient and sometimes funny”.

Niki

My name is Niki Zavra, and I was born in Sparta, Greece. My undergraduate studies were undertaken at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in the Philology Department at the University of Patras. During my studies, I attended many seminars related to education. Concurrently, I volunteered at the Social Center of Patras, teaching philology courses to underprivileged children. I also pursued and obtained a certification in the Braille writing and reading system for the blind. My postgraduate studies were more focused on Adult Education. My experience in devising and creating educational programs that incorporate novel teaching methods in both special and general education enables me to devise creative solutions in critical situations. Being a member of a digital book team has allowed me to participate not only in planning seminars related to special education but also in writing books designed to meet the needs of each child and adult.
