Hey, I’m Artemis 👋
I teach Greek online from Crete, powered by sunshine and a frankly unreasonable love of Freddo Espresso. For more than ten years I’ve watched smart, motivated people do everything “right” apps, playlists, vocab decks only to freeze the moment a barista smiles and asks: τι θα πάρετε; (What will you have?)
That awkward gap between knowing and saying?
That’s the gap my courses are built to close with
warmth, structure, and a little mischief.
The night a sentence finally landed
Picture this: Wednesday evening. Five tiny squares on Microsoft Teams. A cat tail crosses someone’s screen; we laugh; the nerves drop. We start small—“How was your week?”—and five minutes later Maria is ordering a coffee out loud, in Greek, without looking at notes. She blinks like she’s just done a magic trick.
It’s not magic. It’s design.
We warm you up before pressure (you get a short Prep Pack, so you arrive with the words fresh in mind). Pre-task planning like this reliably helps people speak more fluently and clearly.
We keep rooms small and kind, because anxiety kills language; a calm, supportive vibe makes your brain let the Greek out. (Researchers call this lowering the “affective filter.”)
We teach through real communication—ordering, inviting, planning, telling mini-stories—because conversation-first approaches (CLT) consistently improve usable language.
What I believe (and how I teach)
Fun isn’t fluff. Laughing lowers the guard dog in your head. When the filter drops, language goes in—and comes back out—more easily.
Tiny groups, big voice. You need turns, not lectures. Small circles mean you speak early and often, with gentle mid-flow feedback so your rhythm stays intact. (Less panic, more Greek.)
Speak it, then polish it. I’ll nudge your grammar, pronunciation, and word choice while you’re actually talking. We fix things in motion—where you’ll use them.
My background (the short, strong coffee)
