Information About Christina:


Personal Description:

I am a Greek-native licensed language teacher located in Athens, Greece.
I teach Modern Greek, English and German as foreign languages.

I have completed a Bachelor's Degree in "German Language and Literature" and a Master of Arts in "German Philology: Theory and Applications", with the specialization "Interfaces between Linguistics and Didactics" at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Since 2020, I attend the same university for a second Bachelor degree in "English Language and Literature".
I am also TESOL-certified from the Arizona State University, and have an extra certification for "Teaching Greek as a Second or a Foreign Language" from Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences.



Teaching Experience:

- More than 10 years of teaching/tutoring experience
- Teaching assistant for the courses "Introduction to Language Didactics I", "Introduction to Language Didactics II" and "Introduction to Academic Writing" as a post-graduate student at the Department of German Language and Literature, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
- Internship at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens' Foreign Language Teaching Centre for the English language
- Internship at the Goethe-Institute Athens for the German language
- Test invigilator for the British Council and the Goethe-Institute Athens



Tutoring Approach:

I base my lessons on the learners goals, needs and preferences.
I also base the lessons in graded textbooks, while I steadily provide extra educational material and handouts.
I also teach the language for the business environment.
I am using a mix of language teaching methods and I apply them to communicative activities.
My language teaching is based on the EU-Standards (the CEFR guidelines for the levels), so I can prepare the learner for any language certification exams.
