ΟΙ ΜΑΘΗΤΕΣ ΜΑΣ ΕΙΠΑΝ…

Μαθηματικά

“Dimitris’ lessons are well structured, especially his presentations. You

can tell he has put a lot of effort so the teaching becomes as analytical

as possible”. (Yiannis, Int. A-Level)

“I enjoyed my lessons with Dimitris; he sure knows what he’s doing. His

teaching, each time, had a clear objective — you always knew where you

were walking on. Thorough when introducing a topic and supportive all

the way, Dimitris is a tutor who makes a difference”. (Nicolas, IB A&A HL)

“Besides the actual whiteboard, I loved the virtual one! Felt like being

in class”. (Mihalis, KS3)

“I had a few lessons on planes and straight lines from FP4. Dimitris went

through the topic meticulously explaining every tiny detail crystal clear”.

(Maria, Int. Further Maths)

“I liked how Dimitris introduced the “hat-method” for adding and subtra-

cting fractions. It was sooo easy! The same goes for the circumference

and area of a circle”. (Sofia, KS3)

“To be honest, I thought the lessons would be boring — not a huge fan

of distance learning! Dimitris proved me wrong. His teaching is good and

pleasant”. (Philip, IGCSE)

“It’s my second year now working with Dimitris. I cannot remember

a single lesson where he hasn’t been supportive or hasn’t explained

the topic well”. (Artemis, European Baccalaureate)

“Very professional tutoring, no argument about it. Further to that,

Dimitris will always teach you with a smile in his face; I consider that

equally important”. (Viktor, A-Level)

“I never thought that e-tutoring could be as good as learning in class.

Dimitris’ lessons were of great help, especially on vectors. I feel ready

for the exams!” (Saffron, GCSE)

“Dimitris is using well elaborated power-point slides to model the

examples/questions, side by side with the virtual board — he has an

excellent handwriting. His lessons are easy to follow, no tricks there”.

(Heloise, IB A&I HL)

“Within an hour, I had learned how to add and subtract with negative

numbers! After that, multiplication and division was a piece of cake!”

(Niamh, KS3)

“I followed Dimitris’ instructions to the letter (keep a folder, organise

notes, deliver homework etc.) and started gaining confidence in maths

fast!” (Dani, Int. A-Level)

“Dimitris is a great tutor — he supported me in Years 10 and 11. His

lessons were very elaborative and Dimitris himself would never get tired

of explaining and repeating things”. (Rachel, GCSE)

“I like the fact that Dimitris uses both the virtual board and the

whiteboard to go through the questions. He will explain in a clear way

and then “save” the working out as jpeg. Having a separate folder (on

your hard disk) for each lesson is a good idea”. (Pete, A-Level)

Βιολογία

“Probably best tutor I ever had! Helped me raise my grade from C to A.

Very patient and organised; has a way to make you feel at ease during

lessons. If I had chosen Biology for A-Level, I would certainly ask for her

support”. (Anna, I-GCSE)

“Maria supported my two children in KS3, the whole three years, and I

have nothing but positive things to say. She knows her subject and

prepares thoroughly her lessons. Not to mention her amiable character.

We continue our collaboration in GCSE”. (for Andrew and Elizabeth, KS3)

“Maria made me like Biology, which I can’t say I did before. She’s a great

tutor and if you truly want to improve your grades then Maria can help

you, no doubt”. (Simon, GCSE)

“There is hard work to be done in Biology. But the lessons with Maria

were demanding and very enjoyable at the same time. Never thought I

would manage to get B in the final exam!” (Kostas, A-Level)

“I started lessons with Maria last year, when I was in Year 12, and

continue this year as well. The quality of her teaching is excellent. She is

a friendly and consistent tutor whose support has been essential

throughout the 6th form. Thanks for all the help Maria!” (Vicky, IB HL)

“I would highly recommend Maria as a Biology tutor, to anyone who is

ready to follow instructions and work hard. Maria teaches well and

knows which details to highlight in each topic so you can prioritise your

studying”. (Katiana, Int. A-Level)

“We had some lessons on Organisms and Ecosystems. Maria explained

them to me in a very simple manner and helped me understand every

topic I was struggling with”. (Matthew, KS3)

“Maria taught me Biology for the IB DP programme. We had lessons

twice a week. Generally, she introduces topics in a comprehensible way

and explains a lot. I got “6” in the final exam, which I very much owe to

Maria’s support these two years”. (Debbie, IB SL)

“In short, Maria will teach you well and with a great deal of patience.

Nevertheless, she will insist on you doing the homework and

participating in the lessons. She’s a good tutor”. (Vassiliki, IGCSE)

“Maria gave lessons to my daughter when she was in Year 8. What I liked

the most was the level of interactiveness. Maria would keep asking

questions, on and on, so my daughter didn’t lose focus. Following her

suggestion, we bought a drawing tablet so the virtual whiteboard could

be shared — that was quite efficient and Sophie, my daughter,

absolutely loved it!” (for Sophie, KS3)

”Definitely a strong tutor with solid knowledge of her subject. She won’t

go on with the syllabus if you haven’t fully understood. She will keep

repeating that it’s not your fault but hers; that she hasn’t explained

properly. A thoughtful tutor”. (Paul, A-Level)

“I don’t know how she did it but Maria would always emphasize the

things that I found most challenging, even before asking her anything. It

was as if she could read my mind! Detailed in her explanations, Maria

will scaffold her teaching, break up the learning into chunks and so make

the lessons interesting”. (Tia, Int. A-Level)

Φυσική

“George has a good pedagogical approach plus a very friendly

personality. Maria, my year 7 daughter, would always look forward to

the lessons. George is also our tutor for this year”. (for Maria, KS3)

“I was really stuck in Connected particles and Pulleys. In just a few lessons

George gave me a clear insight on how these things work. Now I can

solve any question on the topic without sweating. You will have no

problem keeping up with George’s teaching, it’s quite straightforward”.

(Konstantina, A-Level)

“Through our lessons George helped me build confidence in physics fast,

a subject I didn’t much enjoy before. Now, I like solving questions that

are challenging. Something I wouldn’t even dream of a few months ago!

I totally recommend George, he’s a good tutor”. (Denis, I-GCSE)

“We worked in a group of three with George and the quality of teaching

was excellent. George has his way of making everyone take part, instead

of sitting back and be a passive listener. The lessons were far from

boring. End of year we got some great results”.

(Abby, Timur, Helen, Int. A-Level)

“George will have high expectations from you because, at the same time,

he will show high professionalism himself. He will explain each question

down to the last detail, there is no way you will not get it! But that is half

the work. The other half depends on you, on your work ethic. So if you

want to get a high mark, you better start working. That’s what I did and

got an A grade. Thanks for the support George!” (Angelos, A-Level)

“George helped me out during the IB DP years. With his support I moved

up more than two grades (finally got a 6). He is a fine teacher, organised,

good listener and with proper resources. Pay attention to his lessons

and you’ll definitely improve your marks”. (Alexander, IB HL)

“Even though we had only two months of lessons before the final exam,

George managed to fill in the gaps that I had in Waves, Magnetic fields

and Space physics. Now that I look back, I wish I had started the lessons

earlier”. (Matina, GCSE)

“George sure knows how to teach from distance. He’s using the writing

pad skillfully alongside with his pdfs. He will engage you into dialogue

(so you won’t fall asleep by the conventional monologue-teaching) and

generally you will have an easy going lesson. Trust me, time will fly

without you realising it”. (Ken, Int. A-Level)

“A good and friendly tutor. Helped me in Year 9 Science. I improved in

school, raised my grades. Now I feel more confident. This year, he’s

helping me in GCSE. I highly recommend him!” (Veronica, KS3)

Ελληνικά

“My daughters were fortunate and honoured to learn modern Greek,

literature, poetry and history under the guidance of such a talented

teacher”. (for Maria & Argyro, A-Level)

“Katerina is a teacher who works closely with her students with love

and passion, inspiring them to go the extra mile and achieve exceptional

results in the final exam”. (for Kira, I-GCSE)

“Good methodology and ability to transmit knowledge building, at the

same time, excellent relationship with the student. Katerina is a great

tutor”. (Irene, I-GCSE)

“Under Katerina’s guidance my son got A*. She’s an excellent educator

and philosopher who enjoys the thrill of getting her students to think

and question”. (for Ioannis, GCSE)

“Η κυρία Κατερίνα ήταν δασκάλα και των δύο παιδιών μου […] Τα ελληνικά

τους ήταν μέτρια και η αγάπη τους για τη γλώσσα ανύπαρκτη. Εκείνη το

άλλαξε αυτό και σύντομα […]. Τα παιδιά μου σημείωσαν θεαματική πρόοδο

και αρίστευσαν στις τελικές εξετάσεις”. (for Giorgos & Fotis, A-Level)

“Πέραν απ’ την άρτια κατάρτισή της και την πολυετή της πείρα, η Κατερίνα

διακρίνεται για την αγάπη της προς τους μαθητές και τη συνεχή υποστή-

ριξή τους καθ’ όλην τη χρονιά. Μετά από χρόνια μαθητείας των παιδιών

μου σε διάφορα σχολεία είναι η πρώτη φορά που συναντώ τέτοιας

ποιότητας εκπαιδευτικό”. (for Anastasia, Ellie & Nikos, I-GCSE)

“Never thought I would find modern Greek that interesting! Katerina

made me appreciate literature (especially poetry, she’s a Cavafy expert!)

and helped me realise that there is one Greek language in different

forms since ancient times”. (Matina, I-GCSE)

“Καλός δάσκαλος είναι αυτός που καλλιεργεί την κριτική σκέψη και

εσωτερικεύει αξίες μέσα απ' το ταξίδι τής διδασκαλίας. Ακριβώς ό,τι κάνει

η κυρία Κατερίνα στο μάθημά της. Θα μάς λείψει πολύ!”. (Tia, A-Level)

“Ένας υπέροχος άνθρωπος, γεμάτος ενέργεια και δίψα για ζωή και δράση.

Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι ότι δεν θα ξεχάσω ποτέ την πιο super καθηγήτρια

που μπόρεσε και έκανε το μάθημα τού Καβάφη και τού Ιωάννου τόσο

ενδιαφέρον και διασκεδαστικό”. (Δήμητρα, A-Level)

“Μάς μάθατε να σκεπτόμαστε μ' έναν τρόπο διαφορετικό μα συνάμα τόσο

συναρπαστικό! Θα μάς λείψουν οι συζητήσεις μας, οι αναλύσεις σας, οι

επικρίσεις σας αλλά και η επιβράβευσή σας”. (Year 12 class)

“Not only Katerina has taught me Greek language but also Greek

Philosophy, Literature, History — even Greek geography! She's an

amazing teacher and an amazing person. Με βοήθησε να βελτιώσω

τα ελληνικά μου αλλά και τον τρόπο με τον οποίον βλέπω τον κόσμο”.

(Jeanette, A-Level)

“Η Κατερίνα ξεφεύγει απ' την πεπατημένη. Με το ιδιαίτερο προσωπικό της

εκπαιδευτικό στυλ φροντίζει για την εν γένει καλλιέργεια τού μαθητή

ξεπερνώντας το σύνηθες επίπεδο τού καθηγητή. Είναι αυτό που λέμε

παιδαγωγός — πράγμα σπάνιο στις μέρες μας”. (for Agni, KS4)

“Μια απόδραση απ' την καθημερινή σχολική ρουτίνα. Μια δυνατότητα

ελεύθερης έκφρασης, υπεύθυνης σκέψης και πάνω απ' όλα ένα μέσον για

ν' ανοίξουμε τα μυαλά μας!”. (Thanos, A-Level)
