Information About Larri:

Personal Description:

I believe in a 'total immersion' approach to learning a language, wherein the culture of the country is enjoyed to its full. My students range in age from 7 to 70. I attend a Greek Dance Culture Group and encourage my language students to learn at least a few dances. The traditional food, music and hospitality are also high on our agenda in the form of Greek Evenings and parties which are solely for the benefit of those learning Greek and not for our professional purposes.

Teaching Experience:

I graduated from the Philosophy Department of the University of Nottingham in 1993 but actually started teaching Greek in Berkshire in the eighties whilst studying at the University of Reading. I completed my teaching diploma whilst in Berkshire.

I worked as Language Consultant to the BBC in the Talk Greek television series for BBC2's Learning Zone, and as Editorial Consultant on the new update of Greek Language People, the BBC publication. I have also taught intensive Greek on various Ministry of Defence assignments. I have Greek classes at the University of Nottingham on the main campus and in the School of Continuing Education. I am also an official interpreter/translator for Greek and English..

Tutoring Approach:

Whether you consider yourself a Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced, and whether you want to learn Greek for your holidays in Greece, business or other purposes, there is a course to suit you. You may study for GCSE, A Level or Institute of Linguists examinations. All classes are small and friendly, so that for the most part you can come armed with as many questions as you wish and learn at your own pace. One-to-one tuition is also available so that you will be speaking Greek at the earliest opportunity.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Degree in Philosophy (English & Classical Studies, Reading) - University of Nottingham 1993
• Further Education Teaching Certificate - Berkshire 1990
