About Fotini

I’m Fotini, a native Greek speaker with a lifelong relationship with language, literature and the humanities.

I studied Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature at the University of Cyprus, with studies extending across Ancient, Byzantine and Modern Greek, Latin, literature, history, philosophy and drama.

Over the years, my professional life has taken me through education, journalism and editing in Cyprus and Australia. I’ve taught children and adults and worked with language in very different settings.

What I enjoy most about teaching is going beyond the answer itself — exploring why language works the way it does, how it developed, and the connections between language, history and culture.

I’m also currently studying Law, continuing what has probably always been a habit of mine: learning, questioning, interpreting and looking at things from more than one angle.

About the lesson

Philosophy becomes much more interesting when it stops being a list of thinkers and theories to memorize.

My lessons focus on understanding the ideas themselves: what questions philosophers were trying to answer, why those questions mattered, how different thinkers responded to one another, and how philosophical ideas connect with history, literature, language and the world around us.

I also teach Greek mythology, not simply as a collection of stories, but through the ideas, beliefs, symbols and cultural world behind the myths. Depending on your interests, we can explore the gods and heroes, individual myths, ancient Greek religion and society, mythology in literature, and the connections between myth and philosophical thought.

Lessons are adapted to the individual. I can work with school or university students who need help understanding course material, preparing for assessments or discussing difficult texts, as well as adults and younger learners who simply want to explore philosophy, mythology or the ancient world.

My academic background is in Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature, with study across Greek language, literature, history and the classical tradition. I am also currently studying Law, another field built around questioning, interpretation, argument and looking at an issue from more than one perspective.

Lessons are usually 60 minutes, but the content and approach depend on your age, level and what you actually want to discover.
Rates vary depending on level and lesson requirements. The advertised rate applies to general philosophy and mythology lessons. VCE and university-level tuition is priced separately.

Fotini has been tutoring my two children (aged 7 and 11) in Modern Greek through weekly online lessons since we live in a regional area. She is extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about her students, always making sure they understand and enjoy every session. My children absolutely love her and always look forward to their lessons with her. She is very experienced, well-educated, and exceptionally qualified. We are so happy to have her as our tutor, and any student would be truly lucky to have her as a tutor—the absolute best choice!

I cannot recommend Fotini enough! She has been tutoring me in ancient Greek and Latin during my university classics degree, and she is simply wonderful. Not only does she have a deep, genuine passion for classical languages, but she is also endlessly patient. Whenever I'm struggling or feeling overwhelmed by tough grammar rules and tricky translations, she always knows how to break things down so everything finally clicks. If you are looking for someone who is brilliant, supportive, and truly cares about your success, Fotini is an absolute gem!

We couldn't have asked for a better tutor than Fotini, who supported my son in Modern Greek for three years up to Year 12. Her approach to teaching is unique, engaging, and entirely stress-free; learning happens smoothly and naturally without ever feeling forced or boring. Her compassionate, patient nature brought out the absolute best in him, and he achieved incredible results. We appreciate her dedication so much!
