Het Omilo-team en leerkrachten Grieks<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Het Omilo-lerarenteam is zorgvuldig samengesteld op basis van opleiding, ervaring en persoonlijkheid. Al onze docenten hebben een universitair diploma, ze hebben Grieks als moedertaal en hebben ervaring met het onderwijzen van Grieks als vreemde taal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ze spreken vloeiend Engels en zijn goed vertrouwd met andere Europese talen. Onze leraren zijn niet alleen geselecteerd op opleiding en ervaring, maar ook op grond van hun enthousiasme om met studenten te werken. Zij houden van hun werk en doen het met passie. Ze zullen je helpen duidelijke leerdoelen vast te stellen, en moedigen je aan om vanaf dag \u00e9\u00e9n Grieks te spreken.<\/p>\n

Bij een 1- of 2-weekse intensieve groepscursus worden aan elk taalniveau 2 docenten toegewezen, maar ook de andere docenten ontmoet je tijdens de culturele activiteiten<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
