Very patient and gentle teacher - perfect for a mature beginner like me!

Excellent lessons, quickly pitched to our level - i already feel I’ve leant a lot. Grammar points really well- explained. Well planned lessons with plenty of supporting handouts for us to practice language points. Katerina is very patient, supportive and encouraging. I feel I’m finally moving to a deeper understanding of Greek, in preparation for the GCSE in two years.

You are a very kind and patient lady, which you need to be since I am starting entirely from scratch. You also speak plainly which is helpful to me since I have poor hearing.
