Omilo Teachers & Staff<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Our team of teachers has been carefully selected according to their academic qualifications, experience and personality. They not only teach you the Greek language, but also share their wealth of knowledge about Greece in the past and present. As a result, your classes will be stimulating and fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Omilo teachers are university graduates and native Greek speakers with experience in teaching Greek as a Foreign Language. They are fluent in English and also competent in other European languages.<\/p>\n

Omilo teachers have the following in common: apart from their teaching experience, they have a friendly and helpful attitude; they are open-minded and interested in your countries and cultures; they love Greece and would like to show you the \u201creal Greece.\u201d Our teachers love their job and do it with passion. They will help you establish clear learning objectives and encourage you to speak Greek from the very first day. If you are a student in the intensive group classes, you will have at least two teachers, but even if you are taking a different kind of course, you will most likely meet them all during the various afternoon activities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
