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?
