My first degree was in Classics, with an emphasis in Greek. My command of Ancient Greek is complete. Authors that I have read include Plato, Herodotus, Homer, Lysias, Demosthenes, Sophocles, Euripides, New Testament, Lucian, and selections of others. It may seem strange to begin with a statistic, but I trust you will agree it's not wholly inappropriate. During the 2009-2010 school year, my 11 AP Chemistry students had a 100% pass rate with the following score distribution: Seven of them scored a 5, three scored a 4, and one scored a 3. The high scores are greater than three times the national [more]

I am currently a 3rd year PhD student at UCLA in Classical philology. I have studied ancient Greek for more than 7 years now. My speciality is in Classical Greek literature (particularly the historians, tragedy, and Pindar), and I wrote my MA thesis on Xenophon and Pindar. I also have experience tutoring a 13 year old boy in ancient Greek for preparation in the National Greek Exam. Struggling to figure out those ancient languages or learn which dates are important for a history class? Have no fear! It's very easy to break the "code" of how these subjects work! I'm a current graduate student a [more]
I've been teaching German and Spanish for 8 years, and 4 years ago I started learning Ancient Greek intensely. When I attended UC Berkeley to do a double major in Philosophy and German, I voluntarily took an 8 unit intensive course on Ancient Greek that covered both the first and second levels of the language and received an A-. I also have many different learning materials for the language including my own textbook that I wrote by myself using actual sentences by Ancient Greek authors like Plato, Aristotle, Aristophanes, and the New Testament portion of the Bible. I have had three Ancient Gre [more]

Greek is my native language. As a first-generation Greek-American I was taught to speak, read, and write Greek at a young age. I have also completed six years of formal education in this language.

I have studied Greek for over five years, and am able to read Hellenistic Greek with great ease. I can read the New Testament without any problem, and can read many first century Christian texts with little to no help. I am teaching myself Homeric and Attic Greek, which, due to my background in Hellenistic Greek, has been quite simple. Having studied many Greek dialects and authors, as well as other languages, I am fully confident in my abilities to tutor Ancient Greek. I am a graduate of Boyce College in Louisville, KY, where I received my Bachelor's in the Humanities (2016, summa cum laude). [more]
I am of Greek ethnicity and have been speaking Greek ever since I was a child. I travel to Greece almost every year so I'm in tune with all the current slang and lingo of the Greek modern language. I have also attended L.A. St. Sophia Church Greek School program where I learned to read and write in Greek and perfect my speaking skills. I taught many non-Greeks while I was there and was able to formulate a great and effective teaching style. Hi everyone, I just graduated from University of California Santa Cruz with a B.A. in Pure Mathematics! I also achieved an A.S.- T in Applied Mathematics [more]

Xaire! Salve! Buon giorno a tutti! I graduated summa cum laude with a BA from Georgetown University in Washington DC in Classical Languages, where I also studied Italian to a [more]
I am from Greece originally. I have been teaching Greek for many years. I teach the Greek that you need with the easiest method that applies to you individually; So if in one lesson you want to practice your reading skills and in the next session you want to practice the Greek grammar, that would be a great plan! I like to tailor my lesson plans to each individual student based on their needs. I believe that if the lesson has specific relevance to you, it will be easier for you to learn and more importantly it will be FUN. Greek can seem complicated, but I promise you that it isn't and togethe [more]
