Alex is a wonderful teacher! He is kind and encouraging as I take my first wobbly steps into the Greek language. I appreciate his well-paced lesson plans, flexibility with the class schedule and most importantly, his humor! I am also thankful to be learning from someone in Greece. Alex often provides cultural context to language learning which has helped me discover interesting things about my own Greek family here in Canada! Thank you, Alex!

We have been students of Alex for about 6 months and could not be happier with our experience. Alex is reliable, organized, and responsive and very personable and pleasant every week. Most importantly, he is a talented teacher, and his approach to instruction is based on developing a strong foundation in grammar. We are finding ourselves building real confidence in the language and not just basic conversational skills. Alex accounts for each of our skill levels and provides personalized advice and encouragement. His homework assignments are well laid out and constructive. Our family group lessons with Alex have been an absolute pleasure, and we look forward to our sessions each week.

We met Alex Kostas searching for Greek lessons online - Alex came highly recommended, lives in Greece and we live in the US-but we feel like he is family. Alex took on his shoulders four young non-Greek speaking children from our church and not only taught them effectively for the past year but also kept them engaged and motivated with his exceptional teaching skills. They are all very fond of him! Kids are the hardest audience, especially online, and Alex won them over. Of course, we are all continuing next year!

Alex is very motivating and professional, and I feel that I am getting excellent value out of the lessons. My schedule has limited my lessons to once a week, and the time that I can devote to studying is not as much as I would like. However, I am progressing as Alex is able to dynamically adjust each lesson based on my weekly progress, and I am getting more comfortable with the language.

Alex has been teaching Greek virtually to my daughters Sofia (17) and Callie (10) over this last school year. Both find him very patient, kind, and pleasant to interact with. He delivers the Greek lessons in a way that draws the girls’ interest. Alex adopts his teaching methods to accommodate our daughter’s abilities and individual learning styles. We look forward to another productive year.

Alex Kostas is an excellent teacher. I am a Greek-American who wanted to improve my grammar and conversational Greek. His method of teaching has improved my Greek significantly. Even though Greek has been a difficult language for me, Alex has made it easy to comprehend. I also appreciate how enthusiastic he is about teaching. Since I’ve been in Greece, I’ve noticed that I am more confident and fluent when speaking Greek.
Athena D. – Honolulu, Hawaii (HI)
My lessons with Alex range from a philosophical analysis of current events to ancient ideas, and Alex is able to explain these topics in a way that’s easy to understand, yet still encourages me to think deeper and push myself to learn and apply them into my own life. I look forward to our lessons every week and I love learning about such complicated ideas.

I have tried to improve my Greek many times in the past with no luck. Alex takes an amazing approach to teaching that is professional, cohesive, and most importantly, easy to follow. Like it did for me, this can help you learn Greek properly and gain confidence in your abilities in the process.

Alexandros has been my kid’s Greek language teacher since September 2021. He has been very patient, encouraging, and very organized. My son always looks forward to the lesson and he is very inspired to learn new things related to the Greek language and culture. I am very happy for choosing Alexandros to be my son’s teacher.

I’ve been studying with Alex for several months. I find him to be a very thorough yet patient teacher to one trying to learn a second language. His concentration on the basics is imperative to laying the proper foundation for a real understanding of the Greek language.
