Personal Learning Summary
Hello, I'm Alcibiades, your Greek tutor and I'm here to help you!
Are you ready to finally learn greek?
Are you ready to stop wasting time and money in methods that don't work?
If so you are in the right place! I am a native Greek speaker and a registered teacher in Greece, Scotland and England, I've helped a lot of students and I can help you, too!
Forget the traditional, boring way of learning a new language and embrace my unique, fun and highly interactive method! I will show you what you need to do to reach a high level of greek, how you can take control of your learning and finally make progress to greek fluency!
We will use my unique method which combines:
- My Greek Real Life Simulation Online Game to get immersed in a greek environment from the very beginning and learn as if you were a kid in a highly interactive way!
- Textbooks and workbooks
- Ppt presentations
- Fun and Interactive online softwares, platforms and games that will help you the most!
If you want the full experience of learning greek, then I recommend that we aim to develop all four major language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing). However, depending on your ultimate goals, any combination of the four will do!
The lessons are being conducted in a friendly, easy to use, highly interactive (and free for the students of course) online platform better than Skype! Though, we can also use Skype as an alternative! It’s up to you which web conference platform you want to use!

LEARNING/TEACHING APPROACH
Learning a language can be challenging so I have the patience to explain new concepts and processes.I am a confident, patient, friendly and reliable individual who pays attention to not only academic but also emotional development, always placing students at the center of learning. I strongly believe that learning should be enjoyable and I ensure that my tuition is both personalised and active. I take time to build good working relationships with all my students as I think that happy and relaxed learners are successful learners.
As a tutor, I am able to identify my students' learning styles and adapt my teaching methods to suit. For example, some students are step learners and tend to remember information that's presented in tables or charts, whereas other learners feel they're more effective when chat, discuss and argue.
That's why I offer you my " Learning Style Assessment " to find out which type of Learner are you! Yeah, that's right... I adapt my teaching and communication style to suit you, not the other way around because what works with somebody else doesn't mean it will work with you, as well.
With my method, the Greek Real Life Simulation Online Game, you will boost your learning, as if you were kids, immersed in a greek environment!
What we do with our Real Life simulation online game is, as much as possible we simulate the environment in which YOU will need to remember, ranging from where you study, to what you hear, and even how you feel.
This is done so as to encode the memory as closely as possible to the environment in which it will be retrieved. We practice in different contexts and settings, so that the knowledge is encoded more thoroughly in YOUR mind!
Of course all of these are combined with efficient workbooks, textbooks, interactive apps and software, and real time feedback to ensure YOUR way to greek fluency.
And don't forget spaced repetition over time is an effective way to encode learning and the best kind of repetition that leads to effective learning is deliberate practice!
