About the teacher

Γεια σας! Λέγομαι Αγγελική Κεφαλά, είμαι από τις Σέρρες και διδάσκω ελληνικά ως δεύτερη ή ξένη γλώσσα. Έχω πολυετή εμπειρία στη διδασκαλία τόσο παιδιών όσο και ενηλίκων, διαδικτυακά και δια ζώσης. Αγαπώ τη δουλειά μου και προσπαθώ πάντα οι μαθητές μου να περνούν όμορφα και να διασκεδάζουν στην τάξη, μαθαίνοντας ταυτόχρονα αποτελεσματικά. Μου αρέσει να προσαρμόζω κάθε μάθημα στις ανάγκες και τα ενδιαφέροντα του κάθε μαθητή. Στον ελεύθερο χρόνο μου μαθαίνω παραδοσιακούς χορούς και πηγαίνω γυμναστήριο. Θα χαρώ πολύ να γνωρίσω εσάς ή το παιδί σας και να μάθουμε μαζί ελληνικά!

Hello! My name is Angeliki Kefala, I’m from Serres, Greece, and I teach Greek as a second or foreign language. I have many years of experience teaching both children and adults, both online and in person. I truly love my job and always aim to make my lessons enjoyable and engaging while ensuring effective learning. I like adapting each lesson to my students’ individual needs and interests. In my free time, I learn traditional dances and go to the gym. I’ll be very happy to meet you or your child and learn Greek together!

Zdravo! Zovem se Angeliki Kefala, dolazim iz Sera u Grčkoj i predajem grčki jezik kao drugi ili strani jezik. Imam višegodišnje iskustvo u radu i sa decom i sa odraslima, kako onlajn tako i uživo. Veoma volim svoj posao i uvek se trudim da časovi budu prijatni i zanimljivi, ali i efikasni za učenje. Volim da prilagođavam svaki čas potrebama i interesovanjima učenika. U slobodno vreme učim tradicionalne plesove i idem u teretanu. Biće mi veliko zadovoljstvo da upoznam vas ili vaše dete i da zajedno učimo grčki jezik!
