I had one-to-one lessons with Makis because there were no students of the same level at that time; it was exhausting but fun at all times; I learnt a lot and Makis knows how to motivate; the afternoon activities were also great and something special; I also experienced Maria as cheerful and positive; I would be happy to come back any time and a big thank you to both of them!

The teacher, Maria, was very approachable and took into account my level so that the lessons could be adapted to suit me. The walks offered and the information on Greek culture were also very interesting. I had a very good week and acquired the basics that I was lacking.

Basically in every case, the same number of pages are covered.
