Experience

I am a Greek-Australian and have been living and teaching in Athens for over twenty years. I have taught English language and English literature at elementary, secondary and college levels and have extensive experience with international students and diverse cultures. I am an IB Certified English Teacher and a certified Examiner for English language examinations. I hold two BA’s, an MA and a PGCE, all degrees in English Language, Literature and Education. My main subject areas are English Literature for IB, A levels, GCSE's, SAT and PSAT examinations, as well as Academic Essay Writing and Research. I do believe that knowledge is a potent and priceless tool, which should facilitate progress and is an invaluable part of one’s life at any stage. I strongly support interdisciplinary education and education as a lifelong learning tool, which should advance towards the future, while respecting the past. Education, I believe, should foster and promote ethics in knowledge, learning practices, learning outcomes and cultural values and instill courtesy, respect and consideration for others in the future citizens of the world.
