Testimonials
Let’s read what our students and guests have to say about their experience!
Settling in Greece and opening a shop, I needed a teacher to help me communicate with my neighbours and clients. Poppie adapted her teaching to my priorities so I could navigate my day-to-day life swiftly. She also gave me a lot of tips about Greek life that ease my integration here.
Poppie has helped my daughter in so many ways while learning Greek. Because of these lessons, my daughter is getting more and more interested in Greek culture and the Greek language!
At the top, a real teacher!
Poppie can teach you classes in almost any European language. And it's never boring, because with her I learn grammar, Greek culture, and history at the same time.
Poppie's ability to teach Greek along with her personality makes learning so much fun.
Poppie's lessons are structured fun! The Greek I'm learning is coming in leaps and bounds. She's very good and extremely competent and always in a good disposition to teach intelligently and seamlessly. I highly recommend this tutor.
I've been taking classes with Poppie since September 2023, about once a week depending on our schedules. Poppie's classes allow me to learn Greek but also, and just as importantly, to learn about Cretan culture, Greek festivals, and traditions. The classes are based on a book with exercises. Poppie is a very dynamic, cheerful, and patient teacher who really inspires you to continue even if Greek isn't easy.
Poppie is flexible in organizing classes, which is really enjoyable when you're working and sometimes the schedule changes.
Each class is both a joyful and serious experience, and a real immersion into Cretan/Greek life. I highly recommend her.
I have had classes with Poppie for some months now and I'm always very excited to enter her lessons. She is a very dedicated and motivated teacher, introducing you to a wide range of vocabulary as well as the world beyond the Greek language. She also creates a comfortable environment in which you can communicate very easily, allowing you to make mistakes and encouraging you to make progress to understand the language better at the same time
I have been taking lessons with Poppie for one year and am enjoying them immensely. Poppie’s teaching is not just about reading, writing and learning Greek; she also spends time talking about the Greek way of life, it’s culture, history and mythology.
During the past year, my Greek has definitely improved, helped by the interesting course materials and Poppie’s enthusiasm.
She is very patient! Thank you
I enjoy each and every lesson with poppie and I'm also always excited about our next... The professional teaching style she's using gives me a solid base from which I am growing as a greek speaking person.
