My teaching journey began during my university years, tutoring secondary and high school students in physics and mathematics. Later, during my PhD studies in theoretical cosmology, I taught university-level theoretical physics. It was during this time that I discovered Arduino and its potential as a powerful, hands-on learning tool. I began incorporating it into my university teaching, and eventually started offering online courses to both children and adults.

Since STEM education, robotics, and engineering were not part of the Greek curriculum at the time, I had to create my own lessons and materials. This experience shaped my teaching approach—one that is deeply student-centered, hands-on, and adaptable. I learned to design learning experiences that are not only informative but also engaging, creative, and empowering.

Through my STEM teaching, I noticed that some students wanted to improve their English to explore global resources independently. This inspired me to delve deeper into language education, especially through project-based and context-rich learning. In 2022, I earned a TEFL certification and later completed my CELTA in 2023. The communicative, interactive nature of TEFL pedagogy, paired with project-based frameworks, felt like a natural progression of my teaching philosophy.

Since then, I’ve taught adult learners online, volunteered in Ghana teaching English and programming, worked at a summer camp in Ireland, and relocated to Paris to gain hands-on experience in early childhood education.

Across all age groups, I aim to create positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environments where students feel safe, curious, and confident to explore language and the world around them.
