Greek lessons: what to budget

Greek community schools and churches run classes in several English cities, and private tutors teach in Upper Holloway where there is demand. In person, expect £25 to £40 an hour.

Online, native tutors from Greece and Cyprus start at around £12 an hour. Lessons can focus on conversation for holidays, on reading for property paperwork, or on the certificate of attainment. Ancient Greek is a separate subject, taught by a smaller number of specialist tutors.

The Greek alphabet and how quickly you progress

The Greek alphabet takes most adults one to two weeks with a tutor, helped by the many letters already familiar from maths and science. Grammar has cases and verb forms that take longer, around 1,100 hours for professional fluency.

Learners in London who take two lessons a week reach comfortable holiday conversation in a few months. Listening to Greek radio and music and reading simple news helps fix the stress patterns.

Certificate of Attainment in Greek and GCSE Greek

The Certificate of Attainment in Greek, from the Centre for the Greek Language, is the official qualification, with levels from A1 to C2; sessions are held each spring at approved centres, including in London. GCSE and A level Modern Greek are also open to private candidates in Greater London and beyond.

A tutor who knows the exam will drill the four skills with past papers and timed speaking. Register early, as places at the London centre are limited.

Greek tutors: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week all year round

The most common pace among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A final push before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, focused on the format of the test, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news or your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Greek tutors in Upper Holloway: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to learn modern Greek?

Greek is a medium to hard language for English speakers. With two lessons a week, simple conversation comes after six months, and comfortable everyday Greek after two to three years.

Is Cypriot Greek different from the Greek taught in lessons?

Cypriot Greek has its own accent and many local words, but standard modern Greek is understood everywhere in Cyprus. A Cypriot tutor can introduce the local forms.

Can I learn ancient Greek with a private tutor?

Yes, some tutors specialise in ancient Greek for study or personal interest, often classicists. It is a reading language, so lessons focus on grammar and translation.
