Μαριλένα Παλυβού

Holder of an English Language Teaching Licence. I offer private English lessons online and in person exclusively at my teaching space, at competitive rates. The price depends on the level (Junior A to Proficiency/C2), learning purpose (such as ESP or IELTS) and the requirements of the individual programme. I use modern interactive applications and digital tools to make lessons enjoyable and accessible, adapted to each student's needs and pace. Exam preparation I specialize in preparation for language certification exams, including intensive and accelerated courses. Preparation is tailored to each student's level, needs and goals, with systematic practice focused on the requirements of the examination. Levels and programmes • Junior A–Junior AB • Senior A–Lower (B2) • Proficiency (C2) • English for Specific Purposes (ESP), focused on the language needs of professional or academic fields • IELTS Professional experience From September 2022 to June 2025, I also worked at a foreign language centre, gaining experience teaching students of different ages and levels. Studies and certificates In 2017, I completed studies in General and Professional Translation at Hellenic American College. Since then, I have worked professionally as a translator from English into Greek. Two years later, my love of English led me from translation into teaching. I obtained a Certificate of Teaching Qualifications from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with a grade of 9.45/10. I have also completed training in teaching foreign languages to students with learning difficulties, further developing my knowledge of teaching and individualized support. My aim is meaningful English learning, confidence in using the language and effective preparation for each student's chosen goal. Please contact me for further information and to discuss your needs and goals.

Student comments provided by the tutor. These are not verified platform reviews. Names and ages are not published. Student: I studied English with Marilena for three years to obtain my Lower qualification as an adult. She was knowledgeable, kind and professional. She guided my study and homework and was always available when I had questions. Whenever I struggled, she spent more time and found different ways to help me understand. I would choose her again for Proficiency. Student: I did not enjoy English before starting private lessons with Marilena. Her teaching approach felt different from the language schools I knew. She loves her work and seeks the best for both herself and her students. She is professional and knowledgeable, whatever your reason for learning English. Student: My teacher is very good, calm, patient and clear in her explanations. I understand what she tells me, feel comfortable asking questions and enjoy her lessons. With her help, I obtained my Lower qualification.
