About Nikoleta:
A US-native former French & Spanish teacher and current English language teacher, coach and translator, Nikoleta has obtained her undergraduate degree from West Chester University of Pennsylvania (the “Teacher’s College”), and holds teaching certification with the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
She completed her Master’s degree in Language Sciences at Paul Valéry University of Montpellier, France in 2013 after a period of field research conducted in Kavala, Greece. Her thesis discussed the effects of the Greek economic crisis on foreign language education in Greece.
She is a lover of languages, having studied and learned 4 —Greek, French, Italian, Spanish— of the 7,000-some languages in existence today and speaks English as her mother tongue.
A love for language in general is what she hopes to instill in her students, young and old (age range of students 3 - 70!)
As a native English speaker living in Paris, teaching English and translating is her current focus.
