Starting modern Greek A level, I was scared that it was going to be a big jump from GCSE, but my amazing teacher, Olga, helped ease the transition! Throughout the A level I became more connected to my culture, by learning about current affairs in Greece and Rembetiko music, as well as being exposed to literature, specifically the film ‘Little England’ and Kavafis’ poems. Although at the start I was unsure about how to write essays on literary analysis in Greek, Olga helped to guide me through the process and I ended up scoring full marks on one of my essays in my exam, and came out with an A* grade overall. After studying the A level I feel more confident speaking to friends and family in Greece, and I couldn’t have done it without Olga!

I met Olga two years ago in preparation for my GCSE in modern Greek. From the very beginning, I felt her lessons were both well structured and thorough, as well as pleasant. I never felt stressed going into the exam because I was safe in the knowledge that I was very well prepared. Having sat my GCSE last summer (I got 9), I am now continuing on to A Level. I never thought when I met Olga that I would come to enjoy lessons so much that I would continue to such a high level. She has changed my opinion of learning my mother tongue from a chore to something enjoyable. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

My tutor is really special. Not only did she supply me with excellent resources that helped me obtain a 9 at GCSE, but her enthusiasm and passion for Greek made each lesson amazingly fun and interesting. The depth and quality of teaching is unrivalled – I learnt so much beyond the GCSE syllabus, from Greek culture to history. The amount of support I received was incredible – she was there to help every single step of the way and always ready to go through the trickier parts again if needed. I looked forward to every lesson – I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy Greek lessons so much! It would be impossible to find a better tutor, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking for one. Thank you so much!

I moved from Greece when Ι was 12. Through the excellent tutoring from The Hellenic Hub Ι was able to achieve the highest grade possible, not only in my GCSE’s but also achieve excellence in the highest attainable level of Greek outside of university in the C2 certificate. I am grateful to have had this opportunity to further my knowledge about my mother tongue, but also the ability to further my understanding of Greek Literature and Language getting honours that I will use for my whole life. The Hellenic Hub is excellent and I recommend the use of its resources and their teachers to help you with any level of Greek qualifications that you are trying to achieve.

I started having Greek lessons when I began my Sixth Form studies. Despite having recently moved from Greece, I found my online A Level lessons with Olga very beneficial, as I was able to review certain aspects of the language that I had not fully comprehended before. Her remarkable attention to detail and her encouraging attitude provided a constant motivation for me to explore the language further and work even harder. I became a more confident writer of Greek, while also very much enjoying the research part of my course, constantly powered by my tutor’s desire to get the most out of me. My effort was eventually awarded with an A* and I’m now looking forward to moving on to the next step of my education.
