Ethos Greek Courses

Classes

In our school students can choose the type of class that suits them best. For most courses they can choose a private, semi – private or group class. Students have the opportunity to create their own semi – private class with their friends and start the classes any time of the year.
Any type of class chosen by students will be well structured and organized in order to help them develop all their skills, make steady progress and become confident Greek speakers.

The duration of the private lesson is 55 minutes, while the number of lessons can be 1- 5 per week. We suggest that young and adult students take two lessons per week. Private classes are ideal for students with busy schedules, who want to be more flexible or have limited time to practice with the lesson material. Furthermore, this type of class is also a choice for those who prefer more intensive courses and create their own path of learning. The teacher focuses on their needs and works on their weaknesse.
