Greek lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering greek lessons
You teach Greek in Modern or Ancient form, with attention to the alphabet, pronunciation, grammar and conversation. Your listing should name the form you teach and the learners you help most.
What customers ask
- I need Ancient Greek for a class. Can you help me with the grammar?
- Do you teach Modern Greek for a trip to Greece?
- How do you teach the alphabet so I can read signs quickly?
- Can you help with stress marks and pronunciation?
- Do you teach teens, and how do you handle a parent who wants to sit in?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask whether the student needs Modern or Ancient Greek and what they will do with it.
- Offer a short reading check and explain how it will shape the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real need, such as ordering food in Modern Greek or reading a short Ancient passage.
- Share a short example of an alphabet or stress drill so the student sees how you teach.
- Put the form taught, lesson count, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say which periods or forms of Greek you know best, so students with a narrow goal can choose you.
What to put on your profile
- Your Greek training, such as a degree in Greek or classics, a teaching certificate or time spent living in Greece.
- Whether you are a native speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the forms of Greek you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as travelers, students in school or readers of classical texts.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the words and grammar covered in each lesson so the student can review them.
- Recommend a reading group or a school support course when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Greek privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.

Do I need to be Greek to teach Greek here?
Not usually. Students look for training, a clear method and the form of Greek you teach, so describe those on your profile.

Yes, if you have the training for both. List each one separately so students can see which you teach best.
