About Stef

Four countries, four languages.

I am a native English speaker, born in Cyprus and educated in the French school system. Greek is the language of home, French the language of school, English the language I grew up in — and Russian the language I now live and study in, in Moscow.

That is why my lessons do not feel like a course. I teach the way languages are actually used: in conversation, in play with young children, in real situations with teenagers and adults — and I can always explain in Russian when it helps.

Today I live in Moscow, where I study Physical Education at Moscow City University (MGPU). It keeps me around young people every day — which is exactly where my teaching comes from.

Why Stef

Four languages. One international background.

Native English

Students don't study English from a textbook. They spend the hour with someone who grew up in it.

International background

English is native, Greek comes from my Cypriot family, French from ten years of French schooling, and Russian from living and studying in Moscow.

Lessons built around people

A five-year-old should not get the same lesson as a thirty-year-old professional.
