I am Zoe, linguist by profession and a Greek Language teacher by passion. Language acquisition is a fascinating experience and I adore being part of itI
I was always fond of languages and teaching, so I decided to study Linguistics in Thessaloniki. I got my Bachelor's Degree in 2008 and I decided to combine my profession as a language tutor with further master education. In 2014 I visited the University of Reading and I had the chance to teach Greek to British adults. I am currently working on my research concerning second language acquisition and innovative language teaching techniques.
I have worked as a teacher in Greek public schools, teaching Greek to bilingual children who acquired Greek as their second language. I have also contributed to the writing of Greek language textbooks in collaboration with an academic research group.
I am currently working with refugees who acquire Greek as their second langua
Is it all still Greek to you?
Bachelor Degree in Philology (Linguistics) (Aristotle University Thessaloniki), 2008.
MA in Digital Humanities, ongoing
I have taught Greek as a second/foreign language to children and adults in Greece (Thessaloniki, refugee camps, NGOs) and the U.S. (Delaware, online). My students included refugees, unaccompanied minors, migrants, and heritage learners. I’ve designed culturally responsive lessons, integrated art and music, supported formal school enrollment, and promoted inclusion through language. I also serve as an examiner for the Ellinomatheia exams and tutor online globally.
