Hello future student! I am pleased that you are reading my profile. Let me share a little bit about myself. My name is Helen. I received my Master of Arts in Philosophy, from San Francisco State University, with honors, and an award for academic excellence. As a graduate student, I taught a class in Critical Thinking.

Also, I received my Bachelor of Arts, with High Distinction, from Deree College, in Athens, Greece. While in Greece, I obtained two ESL certificates, and taught ESL at a center for foreign languages, and in private settings.

I tailor my methods to each individual. Usually, I will ask you to provide me with a description of your projects, the books or class materials you are using, and, if possible, a course outline. Then, I make a detailed outline of how we can approach your projects, such that you can get the most out of them, and complete them with success. Since everyone learns differently, we will adopt a learning method that works best for you.

Philosophy

I studied philosophy where it all began, in Athens, Greece. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts, with high distinction, I went even further, and studied philosophy at the graduate level in San Francisco. I received my Master of Arts degree with a 4.0, and a distinguished achievment award for academic excellence. Most importantly, I love this stuff!

ESL/ESOL

I taught English as a Second Language in Greece for over 3 years. Also, I have two certificates that qualify me as an ESOL instructor, abroad. The first certificate is the Certificate of Proficiency in English, awarded by the University of Michigan, English Language Institute. The second certificate is the Certificate of Proficiency in English, awarded with honors, by the University of Cambridge, ESOL examinations.

Greek

I speak and write fluent Modern Greek. I have a high school diploma from the Lyceum of Molaoi, a Greek public high school, in Greece.
