About Fotini
I’m Fotini, a native Greek speaker with a lifelong relationship with language, literature and the humanities.
I studied Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature at the University of Cyprus, with studies extending across Ancient, Byzantine and Modern Greek, Latin, literature, history, philosophy and drama.
Over the years, my professional life has taken me through education, journalism and editing in Cyprus and Australia. I’ve taught children and adults and worked with language in very different settings.
What I enjoy most about teaching is going beyond the answer itself — exploring why language works the way it does, how it developed, and the connections between language, history and culture.
I’m also currently studying Law, continuing what has probably always been a habit of mine: learning, questioning, interpreting and looking at things from more than one angle.

I don’t teach Ancient Greek as a collection of forms and rules to memorize. I want you to understand how the language works — why a form appears, how a sentence is constructed, where meanings come from, and how Greek developed across different periods.
Lessons can focus on Ancient or Byzantine Greek, including grammar, syntax, vocabulary, translation and text analysis. Where useful, we can also trace the connections between Ancient, Byzantine and Modern Greek and see how the language developed over time.
We start with your level and your purpose. You may be studying Ancient Greek at school or university, preparing for an exam, working through a particular text, or learning simply because the language and its history fascinate you.
For Byzantine Greek, you may be studying theology, reading ecclesiastical or historical texts, wanting to better understand the language of the Greek Orthodox Church, or exploring the Byzantine period for academic or personal interest.
I studied Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature at the University of Cyprus, with studies spanning Ancient, Byzantine and Modern Greek, literature, history and related humanities.
Lessons are adapted to the individual student rather than following a fixed script, and are available for secondary and university students as well as adult independent learners.

I cannot recommend Fotini enough! She has been tutoring me in ancient Greek and Latin during my university classics degree, and she is simply wonderful. Not only does she have a deep, genuine passion for classical languages, but she is also endlessly patient. Whenever I'm struggling or feeling overwhelmed by tough grammar rules and tricky translations, she always knows how to break things down so everything finally clicks. If you are looking for someone who is brilliant, supportive, and truly cares about your success, Fotini is an absolute gem!
Fotini is the Modern Greek and Latin tutor for my son, who is currently preparing for his Year 12 exams, and my daughter, who is in Year 10.
She is an exceptional tutor and my kids genuinely love her lessons, which are always engaging and anything but boring. Fotini is very experienced, patient, and ensures that my children thoroughly understand everything they cover.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring tutor.
We couldn't have asked for a better tutor than Fotini, who supported my son in Modern Greek for three years up to Year 12. Her approach to teaching is unique, engaging, and entirely stress-free; learning happens smoothly and naturally without ever feeling forced or boring. Her compassionate, patient nature brought out the absolute best in him, and he achieved incredible results. We appreciate her dedication so much!
