Student comments about General Greek - Extended Program
Edith
"Eugenia is a very good teacher, she deserves all the credits!"
Maggi
"no"
Barbara
"Since I had almost only one-to-one lessons, the one-to-one lessons were not a wise choice."
Genevieve
"complete but I regretted that there were not in the margin of the lessons authentic documents, adapted of course, like rhymes, small poems, advertisements, cooking recipes, etc. The examples are too often disconnected from a context which makes it possible to understand the overall meaning."

Student comments about Hotel - 2 Stars (Low season)
Candida
"The Ideon Hotel is a cute hotel 200m from the beach and 8 minutes walk to the school. Theresa and Antonis are incredibly friendly and fulfill your every wish. The rooms are very small and the balcony is only a small towel, but the bed is 1.40 m wide. All in all, it meets the requirements. The roof terrace is great and you can do your homework or hang out there. I would have liked the breakfast to be a little more plentiful. So I bought the fruits and nuts for my muesli myself. But I would go to this hotel again at any time, I felt very comfortable there!"
Ann
"Very friendly and helpful owners - only drawback that room too small for a comfortable chair, which would have made doing homework there more comfortable"
Ilaria
"Very clean hotel, good breakfast. Very nice owners. The room was really very small "
Klaus
"Simple but very clean! The owner extremely nice and helpful! The grandmother cooked and usually a plate of these delicacies was brought to your room in the afternoon. That was pure voluntary hospitality!"
Paul
"very friendly, always concerned about my physical well-being, cozy atmosphere, ideal location."

“I liked how friendly and accommodating Effi and Eleni (apologies for misspellings) were. I liked Eleni's style of teaching - friendly yet focused. I like that this school exists! I really appreciated Effi's trip that she arranged to the Museum of Typology and how personable she was.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss: It's not necessary to book private lessons. Even if there are not other students, you can still book the class lessons and they will accommodate to you. It's cheaper.

Other comments: 2 pieces of constructive feedback: 1) on the first day, outline to the student what you are going to focus on over the whole course (however long it is). This way, it is easier for the student to place what they are learning in a larger context. 2) get a textbook that has instructions in English, at least for the earlier levels. It is very difficult for me to complete the lessons without help from a Greek speaker.

Candida
67 years“The teachers are all very friendly and accommodating, there are always cookies and snacks available during break and you can always get a coffee or water. There is air conditioning in every room and the teaching is competent and well thought out.”
“I didn't really like the book that was used there, it's not structured strictly and is often incomprehensible, the instructions are only in Greek and there are no solutions at the back of the book. This makes the book not suitable for working alone at home, which I thought was a shame. I didn't take it home with me because it is very thick and heavy. On the other hand, the vocabulary list at the back of the book is very good. Otherwise I have nothing to complain about!”

“Because of the health situation, I found myself the only student the second week and even if the private lesson went very well I regretted not being in contact with other students. In addition there was no activity and the proposals on the site had played in my choice for this school.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: complete but I regretted that there were not in the margin of the lessons authentic documents, adapted of course, like rhymes, small poems, advertisements, cooking recipes, etc. The examples are too often disconnected from a context which makes it possible to understand the overall meaning.

“At the same time, private lessons also have disadvantages. It is very demanding and I would have preferred to have classmates to practise with and to do something outside the lessons.
It would be advisable if the teachers would bring the different students into contact with each other, without any obligations.
Fortunately, I did meet a fellow student, but that was entirely my own initiative.”
