Καραναστάσης Γιώργος – Ιδιαίτερα Μαθήματα Αγγλικών

With over 30 years of experience teaching English, I have worked with learners of different ages, levels and backgrounds, both in Greece and in the UK. My teaching experience includes language schools, international schools, adult education programmes and academic management positions.

I particularly enjoy working with university students and adults, while specialising in exam preparation and English for professional purposes. I work with each student according to their level, needs and goals, designing a structured, personalised learning programme and providing tailored teaching material, whenever needed.

I offer:

• General English for children, teenagers and adults
• Exam preparation for Cambridge, Michigan, IELTS, ECCE, ECPE, CPE/Proficiency and other English language certifications
• Business English for professionals and employees
• Online English lessons for students and adults
• Speaking and interview preparation

I have also worked as a Certified Speaking Examiner for various English language examination providers and have extensive experience in preparing candidates for internationally recognised English language qualifications.

Whether your goal is to improve your everyday communication skills, obtain an English language certificate or use English more confidently in your studies or professional life, lessons are tailored to your specific needs and objectives.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and find the most suitable approach for your English learning.
