December groups

€25 a lesson from 1 December 2026.

English already works in Limassol and Paphos. It does not work at the municipality, the school gate, with the builder, or in the kafeneio — and it is not the A2 or B1 certificate used for Cypriot naturalisation. Groups are 4–6 students, 50 minutes. 8 lessons, €25 each, €200 for the month. Charged per lesson. No discount.

We prepare for the University of Cyprus or Ellinomatheia exam. We do not award certificates and we do not file citizenship applications. Highly skilled naturalisation can use A2 or B1; ordinary naturalisation needs B1.

  • Municipality, school gate, builder, kafeneio
  • Standard Greek plus the Cypriot phrases people hear
  • A2 / B1 preparation for University of Cyprus or Ellinomatheia
  • December groups, 4–6 students, 50 minutes

Private 1:1 Lessons: Cyprus Arrival or A2/B1 exam prep. €45 a lesson.

Dimitris

Native Greek & Cypriot

Dimitris Δημήτρης

US-born · Thessaloniki & Cyprus

Brown University

Hello, my name is Dimitrios. I am a native speaker of both Greek and English, born in the United States and raised between Greek, Cypriot, and international environments. My father is from Thessaloniki, my mother is Cypriot, and I have lived in Cyprus for many years. I specialize in helping adult learners build real confidence in Greek through structured, personalized lessons, including Cypriot naturalization exams. Because I am fully bilingual, I can explain grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary clearly to English-speaking students. I also speak French fluently. Lessons are calm, focused, and practical — conversation, pronunciation, grammar, reading, listening, writing, or the Cypriot dialect. For advanced students: literature, culture, and history. Brown University, Creative Writing and Art History. Three years of teaching, including museum education in Nicosia and SAT tutoring.

Monique

Greek for foreigners · Super Tutor

Monique Μόνικ

Netherlands · Nicosia for 30 years

Hi, my name is Monique. I am from the Netherlands, but I have been living in Cyprus (Nicosia) for almost 30 years now. I originally studied International Business, and this is the field I have worked in for most of my life. However, I realized that my passion is with education. I have been teaching for the last 5 years — first at the Dutch school for Dutch children here in Cyprus, then in English, and for some time now Greek for foreigners. I can also teach you the Cypriot dialect and explain the difference between standard Greek and the dialect spoken in Cyprus. I have taught ages 6 to 65 in Dutch, Greek, and English, up to B2. As I had to learn Greek myself once, I have a very good understanding of the grammar and the complications it has for a non-Greek person.

  • Greek for foreigners, A1–B2
  • Cypriot dialect vs standard Greek
  • All ages, 6 to 65
  • Clear, patient grammar

Been a pleasure to learn with Andys, he's a fab tutor with very good knowledge & great learning materials!
Antonia · Andys · 3 August 2026
I've spent 7 months taking weekly lessons with Andy as a complete beginner to Greek. The experience has been excellent, as Andy tailors lessons to my interest while also using a textbook-based curriculum to ensure we cover key grammatical concepts and vocabulary. I'd highly recommend Andy to any other person looking to develop a solid foundation in Greek. Thanks, Andy!

The best Greek and Greek Cypriot tutor!
Tatjiana · Dimitris · 9 July 2026
I am very much enjoying my lessons with Andys. He explains things well and adjust the lessons to my needs, for example when i have a little less time to put in the work in my spare time. I always go out of the lesson thinking: this is fun.
Theresia · Andys · 3 June 2026
Andys is the best language teacher — I genuinely have fun during the lessons and my progress is way faster than I could have imagined.
Nick · Andys · 11 May 2026
Andys is a very competent and professional tutor. He seems able to judge the ability of his student and sets the pace of the lesson accordingly. I always feel challenged during a lesson but I have never felt rushed. A very pleasant, comfortable experience. Thank you Andys.
John · Andys · 19 April 2026
Dimitrios is well prepared and non-threatening! He seems very interested in my progress. Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος με τον Δημήτρη! I'm very happy with my accomplishments. Dimitri challenges and encourages me with each lesson. I couldn't have selected a better tutor!
Mary Ann · Dimitris · 15 April 2026
Very good teacher.
Daniel · Andys · 8 April 2026
I’ve had several Greek teachers in my life, but never one quite like Monique. She’s incredibly patient and is also very good at explaining why things are the way they are. She explains things very clearly and has a tremendous amount of patience. I’ve made a lot of progress in a short amount of time, so I highly recommend her!
Niek · Monique · 7 April 2026
Monique is a wonderful teacher! I am extremely satisfied with my Greek lessons with her. She is always very positive and cheerful, which makes every lesson enjoyable and motivating. Monique explains everything clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. She also has a great deal of patience and takes the time to make sure you really grasp the material. What I appreciate most is that she truly listens to what you, as a student, want to learn and expect from the lessons. She is also very flexible when it comes to scheduling lessons. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engaging and supportive language teacher.
Melissa · Monique · 7 April 2026
Dimitrios has been a great help and uses cutting-edge language learning and AI technology to teach me. I would definitely recommend him, especially for native English speakers looking to learn Greek.
John · Dimitris · 27 March 2026
Dimitrios is VERY patient! He guides me and supports me in my learning.
Vicki · Dimitris · 10 March 2026
Dimitrios is a fantastic tutor and the classes are always fun. He’s multilingual and can explain things from different linguistic perspectives. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and clear, and sometimes shares the historical background behind words (which I find very interesting)! I started Greek from scratch, and with every lesson, I really feel myself improving. Highly recommend!
Joey · Dimitris · 5 March 2026
Very engaging and patient. Highly recommend!

Alexis · Andys · 6 February 2026
Andys is a great tutor. His teaching method and guidance are very helpful and easy to understand. We highly recommend Andys if you want to start learning Greek.
Ebru · Andys · 26 January 2026
I've been learning Greek with Andys for a month and a half, and the lessons are always very well structured and beginner-friendly. Andys is always supportive and prepares the right amount of content for the duration of the lesson we have. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful tutor and a great pace. I think he's really perfect for anyone who wants to learn Greek, or who wants to progress quickly.
Yuliia · Andys · 34 lessons · 26 October 2025
Wonderful tutor who offers a comprehensive and structured approach to language learning while maintaining a flexible teaching style that takes into account the level and learning style of his students. I was so grateful to have found Andys when I was looking for a Greek tutor. It's a joy to learn with him, and he adapts each lesson specifically to my needs. I never feel like a lesson is wasted, as I leave each time with new knowledge.
