Learn Greek

Welcome to Learn Greek with Meraki. You might be wondering what meraki means and how it is connected to learning Greek. It’s one of these magic words we frequently meet in any language and translating it into a single word would challenge the most talented translator. We can describe the word and assign the meaning of a very strong wish to do something but also the intense feeling of love and affection when engaging in our favourite activity.

That’s why I chose this word for the title of my website. Teaching a foreign language needs meraki; otherwise it becomes part of a routine offering only little to both teacher and student. But if it’s done with true passion and love, it is transformed to a whole different experience.

My name is Panos and I am an online tutor of Greek as a foreign language. I have been teaching Greek and English for 15 years now and although I have changed many professions in my life, I never stopped teaching. I recently decided to make it my main profession, teaching Modern Greek as an online tutor.

Testimonials

It’s all about you! We went through many language learning journeys together! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

“Another incredible lesson with Pano, our 60th together, I think, over 3 years. He is a truly exceptional teacher: kind, dedicated, supportive, and knowledgeable in all the mechanics of Greek and English, so he can explain the precise reason why you would use a certain tense or part of speech. He speaks in a clear, vivid, and enunciated way that is easy for a new language learner to understand, and with him, I’ve progressed from learning the basics of the language to writing more complex literary pieces in Greek. He’s very open to the different goals and writing projects I propose, so I feel that our lessons accomplish exactly what I want at any given moment. And above and beyond all of this, Panos has been one of my first and closest friends in Greece and has helped to welcome me into this country“

“Panos is a great language teacher. I have had 30+ lessons with him over the last 4 months and enjoy learning Greek. Panos has an excellent command of English and is very knowledgeable about the Greek language and grammar, which I appreciate as a computational linguist. Panos engages the learner with a variety of exercises, techniques and topics and very naturally adapts to the interests of his students. A few days ago, I met a Greek at my workplace and had the chance to put my Greek to practice. At the end of our conversation he said: You must have a very good teacher. I couldn’t agree more“

“Panos is fabulous! He’s one of the best teachers I have worked with. Everything is so natural and his corrections are just right. I love that we speak in Greek the whole time and how well he adjusts his level. Really enjoying my lessons with him! 🙂“

RICHARD, UK

“Again, another great lesson with Panos! The grammar has now become a bit more challenging but Panos has been very patient and supportive and always tries his best to explain the topics as simply as possible. We revised home and house-related vocabulary and the articles cases and moved onto the imperative mode. Thanks Pano, you’re the best!!“

“It was a really nice lesson, as usual, with Panos. We mainly practiced oral Greek, we had a really nice conversation. What I like about him is that he lets me talk a lot, and try to express myself, and then corrects my mistakes. He is really supportive and I enjoy learning with him! :)”
