Click here if you wish to read our mission statement and equal opportunities policy.Situated in the heart of Athens, in the very centre of the capital of Greece, an excellent place to start or develop your Modern Greek as well as experience living in an exciting European city with so much to do in its present and see of its past.
Learning Modern Greek in Greece
Learning any language in the country in which it is used, takes the countless opportunities for contact and exposure into account. Learning Greek in Greece can help learners with their immediate communicative needs where they can immediately try out what they have been learning in the classroom and have the opportunity to “tune into” the sounds of the Greek language in real life situations.

Why choose a one-to-one language programme
Group courses are not the answer to everyone’s needs. If group lessons cannot fully respond to your needs or the demands of your schedule, a one-to-one course may be the most efficient and economical solution in the long run. In a course of this type, the tutor can concentrate on your individual needs and, usually, you need less than half the time for each level than you would in a group course.
Benjamin S. Bloom's research, often cited as a cornerstone of educational theory, provides strong support for the effectiveness of one-to-one tutoring. In his 1984 paper, "The 2 Sigma Problem: The Search for Methods of Group Instruction as Effective as One-to-One Tutoring," Bloom found that:
The average student in a one-on-one tutoring environment performed approximately two standard deviations (or 98%) better than students in a traditional classroom setting.
Hourly rates start at 30 euros. These courses can be arranged throughout the year even at your own office or company premises.
The topic areas mentioned above are just an indication of what the types of courses that we can undertake to design and teach. Specially designed courses entirely tailored to your job or interest needs, e.g. music terminology or legal terminology, are possible. And, of course, being a teacher education centre, we are very interested in helping teachers of English whose native language is other than English, to improve their level to that required of a professional teacher.
