Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! I'm Elena from Greece, I've been an English Teacher and a Language school owner for 35 years and I'm so excited to be a member of this group of amazing people!
Since the beginning of my career I've been searching for innovative teaching methods and I was very lucky to have been trained by exceptional teacher trainers. Continuous studying, training and self evaluation have resulted to my having great awareness as a teacher. Additionally, I 've attended courses on Psychology ( Children Development ) and last year I completed my university studies on Coaching. I equally love Teaching, Psychology and Coaching and I believe that a teacher needs to be most of all a Coach in class and help the children discover the best way for them to learn.
I mostly work with young children and teenagers (aged 5 - 16) and since these are the years that they develop as personalities I love creating teaching material that gives them the opportunity to express their feelings, their fears or their doubts, material that motivates them and also gives them cultural and social skills and knowledge.
I'd love to be connected with those of you in the group who can help each other develop as teachers, writers and educators and create beautiful things together!
Please feel free to contact me at: Email: metaxa.lena@gmail.com

  1. Nice to meet you! I teach the same age range as you (VYL and YL - ages 2 to 14) in a private conversation school in Japan. And I'm also very interested in Child Development. Have you done any courses in English that you'd recommend?

  2. Anne Hendler Hi Anne! I did the course in 2002 at Open University UK. It was a distant learning course of a great interest and I would highly recommend it if they still offer it. Otherwise, google it, I know that many universities include Children Development of Developmental Psychology in their distant learning courses. I'm glad to know that we both teach young learners! Let's keep in touch!
