Vassilis

Hi!

I`m Vas, short for Vassilis.

I`m a Greek Palestinian actor living in London.
I hold a BA in English Language and Literature as well as an MA in Classical Acting (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama).

Music and acting have been integral parts of my life from a very young age.
I am an avid audiophile and after I reached my piano grade 8 I started composing myself.
In terms of acting, I have had the privilege of working with top-notch acting teachers and coaches and even though I`m just starting my career as an actor, I`d love to pass on all the skills and techniques I have practised in the years.

Regarding my teaching experience, I have taught English as a second language (ESL) in secondary schools and IB programmes both in Greece and the U.K. I have also been offering tutoring sessions for ESL and EFL learners, Greek and piano learners for a couple of years now - mostly in-person.

Last but not least, as a Greek native myself, I find sharing my love for and knowledge of Greek incredibly fulfilling.
I`d be more than happy to work with you so hit me up and we`ll take it from there!

Best,
Vas

MYP English Teacher | Athens, Greece (2019)

Costeas – Geitonas School (CGS)

I was an apprentice teacher. During the first weeks I had to attend different classes as a student teacher and keep notes on my journal.
Then I had to design and teach four activities (two of them including ICT) and finally I had to design and teach two full lessons.
During the delivery of my lessons the teacher was always present but did not interfere with the process, rather monitoring my performance.
