About Eleni Thomai

I began my teaching journey as an undergraduate teaching fellow at the Paris Observatory in France, where I spent three years assisting students and developing my instructional skills. I then pursued graduate studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands, teaching science courses at the elementary and secondary levels for four years.

During my two years at Yale University (USA) and later at the National Observatory of Athens (Greece), I delivered guest lectures, mentored undergraduate students, and advised several on their senior research projects.

For the following eight years, I served as a faculty member at the City University of Seattle (Athens site), where I taught a range of subjects—including astronomy, general science, algebra, calculus, and statistics—to students across multiple disciplines such as computer science, business, psychology, and tourism.

Subsequently, I joined Université Paris Cité in France for three years and then moved to the Brussels area for the last seven years.
I was invited to present several lectures on physics and astronomy while also offering private Greek language lessons, both in person and online.

My science students gain understanding, broad as well as specialised knowledge, and often see marked improvement in their academic performance within a few months, while many have gone on to pursue careers in science. My work with students often extends beyond the classroom into collaborative research, resulting in several co-authored publications.

I also take great pride in teaching Greek language and culture. My students quickly gain confidence in their language skills, exploring not only grammar and vocabulary but also the cultural and etymological layers of Greek that shaped much of Western thought and language.

I have over 25 years of experience in research and teaching, working with students of all ages and backgrounds. Over the years, I’ve learned that each learner has a unique way of engaging with science and language, and I design my approach to match their curiosity, goals, and learning style.

My teaching philosophy centers on inquiry-based learning — encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and see beyond memorization to understand how concepts connect within the bigger picture. Rather than passively absorbing information, my students actively explore ideas through interactive discussions and hands-on activities that make learning both meaningful and enjoyable.

In addition to science, I also offer personalized Greek language lessons. Whether your goal is conversational fluency, deeper cultural understanding, or academic mastery, I tailor each lesson to your interests, pace, and purpose, ensuring a fulfilling and effective learning experience.
