Anastasia Kallimani
I am a graduate of the Department of Philosophy, Pedagogy, and Psychology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with a specialization in Psychology.
I teach English and Spanish with passion, consistency, and a commitment to ongoing professional development for more than 23 years. My teaching philosophy is grounded in a personalized approach, always prioritizing the individual needs, interests, and unique characteristics and abilities of each student. For me, learning should be meaningful, experiential, and human-centered — based on empathy and encouragement — rather than simply a process of obtaining certificates.
I work with students of all ages and specialize in preparing learners for internationally recognized English language certifications, as well as the official DELE exams in Spanish. I have also worked as an oral examiner, an experience that has provided me with deeper insight into the assessment process and the challenges candidates may face.
With dedication, organization and a focus on connecting with my students, my goal – as co-founder of FLA Foreign Language Center –is to create a learning environment where trust, positive reinforcement and continuous progress prevail. My love for teaching and children is the driving force behind every educational endeavor.
Mary Tsouni
Holder of an Advanced Professional Certificate in Learning Difficulties / DOTE Diploma (with Distinction) / CELT Training / Certified English Language Instructor.
With over 38 years of experience as an English Foreign Language (EFL) instructor, I bring a lifelong passion for education, unparalleled expertise, and a deep commitment to student success. My career spans nearly four decades of teaching in some of Greece’s most respected language institutions, alongside experience in the UK, helping learners from beginner to advanced levels.
My teaching philosophy centres on the belief that education is a two-way process — not only about imparting knowledge, but also about learning from students. I hold an Advanced Professional Certificate in the Diagnosis and Intervention of Specific Learning Difficulties, ensuring inclusive support for every student. My Diploma for Overseas Teachers of English (RSA), awarded with distinction in methodology and language, underscores my academic rigour and innovative approach to instruction.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in preparing students for international English exams (UCLES, Michigan, IELTS, TOEIC, ESB), served as a certified speaking examiner, and designed engaging, effective course materials. I am particularly skilled in grammar and vocabulary acquisition, skills development, and syllabus design.
Today, as co-founder of our school, my vision is to create a learning environment where every student can develop – educationally, personally and internationally – by combining scientific training, professional consistency and personal dedication.
Virginia Stampoulou
Graduate of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA) , with degrees from the Departments of French Language and Literature (1991) and Spanish Language and Literature (2007), and a Master’s degree in Literary Translation and Teaching from the University of Strasbourg. Certified teacher of French and Spanish as foreign languages, specialized in preparing students for all levels of French (DELF – DALF – SORBONNE) and Spanish (DELE) language certificates.
With many years of experience in teaching French and Spanish as foreign languages (FLE & ELE) spanning four decades, I have worked at some of the most reputable private foreign language centers in Athens, as well as in public elementary and middle schools in the Athens area as a substitute teacher for 8 years.
I have a deep sensitivity and love for children and have always dreamt of becoming the kind of teacher I myself would have wished for—and later, the kind of teacher I would want my own children to have. I believe that we all learn best and correctly only when we truly love what we are taught and when we approach it with enthusiasm, desire, without fear, anxiety, or a sense of obligation.
Today, with the co-founders of our center, serving the same purpose and maintaining the same ideals, we have created a warm, welcoming and extremely friendly environment for students and parents, combining knowledge, experience, sensitivity and advanced teaching methods. With respect and a sense of responsibility towards the children themselves and their parents, but primarily with respect and a sense of responsibility towards the function of the teacher, which for us is a title of honor and dedication.
