Greek? I've always wanted to — but I figured it was too complicated, all those letters… okay, what if I start with just the basics? Is Καλημέρα right? Wait, that actually means something — good morning? And I said it correctly? Okay, I think I'm ready.
About me
My name is Elpiniki-Myrsini Chondrogianni — most people call me Niki. Born in Marousi, Greece, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Philology with a specialisation in Medieval and Modern Greek from the University of Ioannina.
Teaching is not just a profession for me — it is a way of sharing something I love deeply. The Greek language, its history, its living beauty. Whether you are a complete beginner or preparing for a university entrance exam, I adapt to exactly where you are and take you further.
I have taught students of all ages across multiple institutions in Corfu, and I bring the same passion and rigour to every lesson. I also hold additional training in Special Education from the University of the Aegean, which allows me to work effectively with learners of all backgrounds and needs.
Private tutoring in contemporary Greek — from the alphabet and first phrases all the way to fluent conversation and advanced grammar. Fully tailored to your level and goals.
In-depth lessons covering grammar, syntax, and the reading of classical texts. Ideal for high-school students, university preparation, and anyone curious about the ancient world.
Targeted preparation for Greek language exams. I design personalised assessment criteria, review written work, and focus on the areas that matter most for your specific test.
Detailed correction and constructive feedback on essays, translations, and written assignments — helping you understand your mistakes and write with greater confidence.
Inclusive teaching methods designed for learners with diverse needs. With a postgraduate background in Special Education, I create a supportive environment where every student can thrive.
One-on-one in-school support — helping students keep pace with their curriculum, build confidence, and develop effective study habits for lasting academic success.
Structured lessons designed specifically for non-native speakers — covering everyday vocabulary, pronunciation, and real-life communication from the very first lesson. Whether you're moving to Greece, connecting with family roots, or simply in love with the language, this course meets you exactly where you are.

Student reviews
I grew up in Germany and always felt distant from my Greek roots. After just a few months with Niki, I can finally have real conversations with my grandparents. Her patience made all the difference.
My son struggled with Greek at school for two years. One semester with Niki and his grades went from a C to an A. She has a gift for explaining grammar in a way that actually sticks.
I started from zero with the goal of passing my B2 exam. Niki structured every lesson perfectly and always knew where I needed extra support. I passed on my first attempt — I still can't believe it.
I study Classical Philology and needed help bridging ancient and modern Greek. Niki is one of the most knowledgeable teachers I have encountered — and she makes learning genuinely enjoyable.
We live abroad and it was so important to us that our daughter stays connected to the language. Niki does online sessions with her every week and our daughter actually looks forward to them.
I wanted to speak Greek before visiting my partner's family in Thessaloniki. By the time I went, I could order food, tell a joke, and hold a real conversation. Niki is simply fantastic.
