Nancy MousterakiTeacher
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Greek Philology, University of Athens and an MA in e-Learning. I have taught Modern and Ancient Greek in Greece for the past 4 years but I became fascinated with the idea of teaching Modern Greek as a second or foreign language when I realised that so many people are interested in learning it. I am so excited to share my knowledge of Modern Greek with people all over the world, from my city Chania, in Crete.

Stella MichaelTeacher
Γεια σας! I graduated the Department of Modern Greek Philology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I subsequently received my Master’s Degree in Modern Greek Literature from the University of Cyprus, where I am currently a PhD Candidate. Ι have also completed the distance learning course “Routes in teaching Modern Greek as a second/foreign language” of the Centre for the Greek Language in Thessaloniki. I taught Greek as a foreign language for seven years at the School of Modern Greek (University of Cyprus) and Cyprus College. Teaching Modern Greek to native and non-native speakers who are not only willing to learn the language or further develop their language skills, but also aspire to become familiar with aspects of the Greek civilization makes the educational process challenging and exciting. I regard Greek Lol as an excellent educational environment, promoting interactive and interesting learning, as well as enhancing cross-cultural education.
TeacherMaria Kioutouktsi

Γεια σας ! I am Maria and I live in Thessaloniki. I have studied Ancient and Modern Greek Language and Literature at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I have been teaching Ancient and Modern Greek to students in Greece since I graduated, for the past 7 years. In 2017 I accomplished my Master degree in Applied Linguistics, finding myself specialized both in digital means applied in education and in Greek L2 acquisition and teaching. I have always been passionate about the Greek language, from ancient to modern. During my research and experiences in my Master studies, I realized that teaching Greek to non native speakers was a fascinating new challenge for me and I loved it. As a linguist and an educator I believe that there is nothing considered to be a fact in education and in science. There are always new ways and so many things to approach. So, here I am, approaching something new with The Greek Online School. Why don’t you join me?
