I am Antonia Kollyrou, a teacher of philology, and I studied Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Patras in Greece.

I teach ancient Greek or philological subjects in modern Greek (literature, history, language, syntax, the Greek arts and culture and others) to pupils and university students of other nationalities:

• either because they need extra tutoring during their school or university studies,
• • or because they love Greek civilisation and are interested in studying the Greek language and the essential wisdom of the world’s greatest philosophers (Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Thales, and others).

I am able to communicate with children effectively and have a deep appreciation for ancient Greece and the classical values it promotes worldwide, the Greek philosophers, the arts, the theatre, teaching through new tropes of expression to stimulate the personal development of the individual, multiculturalism and the melding of the modern with history and tradition.

My post-graduate studies in stage directing and ancient theatre testify to my ongoing need to incorporate into my teaching elements of expression, learning and growth through art, and to stimulate my students and introduce them to Greek civilisation, rather than merely transmitting sterile knowledge. It is no secret that the literary and poetic ancient Greek theatre is a part of the world's literary wealth, and its universally known Greek tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides) are included in a number of school lessons in many countries.

I can help if:

• You love ancient Greek philosophy and want to study the ancient Greek language and the world’s greatest philosophers.
• You want to be accepted to a university and need tutoring in ancient Greek or modern Greek philological subjects (literature, history, syntax, Greek arts and civilisation, etc.).
• You need some knowledge of ancient or modern Greek to embark on your post-graduate studies, further your education in a particular field or achieve a higher level of competence, or for another scientific or business purpose.
• You are a student in another country and are taking Greek philological classes at your school as a foreign language and you are having trouble understanding so you can delve deeper.
• You want to travel to Greece and need to sharpen your child’s language skills so he can be more easily integrated into Greek culture and achieve the necessary mutual cultural understanding.

I have a thirst for knowledge and have worked in Greek formal education for many years as a teacher of philology as well as teaching children of other nationalities. I am fascinated by ancient Greek civilisation and classical literature. I place great value on my work with children and I enjoy being a citizen of the world and teaching an appreciation for diversity in every way possible.

I am available and would love to meet you and teach you what the Greek language and ancient Greek spirit can communicate.
