Real words from real learners across the globe.

★★★★★

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first lesson.

How does an online Greek lesson actually work?
Lessons take place via video call - Zoom or Google Meet. You'll receive a meeting link before each session. Nikos shares his screen to present materials, exercises, and vocabulary. Each lesson is interactive: you speak, listen, read, and write - just like an in-person lesson, without the commute.
Do I need any experience to start? I'm a complete beginner.
Not at all. Many students start with zero Greek and reach conversational level within 4–6 months of regular lessons. The Roadmap Session starts with a simple assessment to understand exactly where you are - even if the answer is "I know nothing."
How long does it take to learn Greek with a tutor?
Most students reach basic conversational confidence within 3 months of weekly lessons. Heritage speakers often progress faster - sometimes reaching intermediate level in 6–8 weeks - because they already have a passive foundation. Your timeline depends on your goals, your starting level, and how many hours per week you practice.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Yes - and in many ways it's more effective. You save travel time, you can schedule around your life, and the 1-on-1 format means every second of the lesson is dedicated to you. Research consistently shows personalised tutoring produces faster results than group classes regardless of format.
How does the Melbourne time difference work for lessons?
Greece is 7 to 9 hours behind Melbourne (AEST/AEDT), which works out conveniently: when it is evening in Melbourne (5:00 PM – 10:00 PM AEST), it is morning in Greece. Weekend morning slots in Melbourne (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM) are also available.
Can you assist students preparing for VCE Modern Greek?
Yes. Nikos provides tailored 1-on-1 coaching for Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) students. We focus on conversational fluency, text response, oral exam confidence, and grammar precision according to the Victorian curriculum.
What's included in the Free Roadmap Session?
The Free Roadmap Session is a full 45-minute lesson - not a sales call. Nikos will assess your current level, understand your goals, and give you a taste of the personalised teaching style. At the end, he'll outline a suggested learning plan. There's no obligation to continue, and no payment details are required to book.
