Angeliki Maniati

My approach centers on communicative and task-based learning. Rather than memorizing dry grammar tables, you learn language by using it in context.
The 70/30 Talking Rule: In speaking and conversational lessons, you speak for at least 70% of the class. My role is to guide, prompt, and correct—not to lecture.
Contextual Grammar: Grammar is taught organically. We examine real-world sentences, spot patterns together, and immediately apply the rule in conversation or short writing exercises.
Immediate & Constructive Feedback: I use a shared digital whiteboard or Google Doc to note down mispronunciations, alternative phrasings, and new idioms in real time, allowing you to review corrections without breaking your speaking flow.
Lesson Content & Curriculum
Every lesson is tailored to your specific goals, learning style, and proficiency level:
Conversational Fluency: Current events, cultural trends, debate topics, storytelling, and idiomatic expressions to sound like a natural speaker.
Professional & Business English: Crafting emails, preparing for job interviews, public speaking, negotiation tactics, and cross-cultural workplace etiquette.
Pronunciation & Accent Training: Phonetics, word stress, intonation patterns, and rhythm drills to ensure you are easily understood.
Foundational English (A1–B1): Core sentence architecture, essential daily vocabulary, survival phrases, and building confidence from zero.
Classroom Dynamics & Atmosphere
I prioritize a supportive, low-anxiety, and energetic environment.
Mistakes as Milestones: Hesitation often comes from fear of being wrong. My classroom is a safe space where mistakes are treated as the fastest way to learn.
Interactive Media: We use authentic materials such as podcast clips, news articles, video shorts, and role-play simulations instead of outdated textbooks.
Structured Yet Flexible: Each lesson features clear targets—a warm-up, core input, active production, and a review phase—while leaving room for spontaneous conversation.
