About the tutor
Roy Gerente
Roy was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She studied Italian language and literature and has a master’s degree in teaching. She moved to Australia in 2017. She channels her love and passion for her country by sharing her knowledge of the Greek language and culture with people. Greece is a state of mind, a collection of sensations, colours, tastes and sounds that bring people together in a very special way. Starting from the basics and learning how to communicate in simple everyday situations will help students prepare for a journey in Greece, learn the language of their ancestors or stimulate their brain with a completely different language. In Roy’s class, students are encouraged to participate in a fun and relaxing environment where mistakes are welcomed as friends.
