Sophia Koutsouri
@sophiakoutsouri
Language & music teacher and creative drama educator, tailoring lessons to individual needs with strong communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m a multi-passionate, people-focused educator who’s highly communicative and able to work both alone and in a team. My experience in education has taught me how to assess individual needs, adjust my approach, and maintain a growth mindset regarding myself and others.
Since 2019, I’ve also been a Real Estate Broker and small business owner in the Athens Riviera area. I build trust by assessing clients’ individual needs while bridging conflicting interests.
For my teaching work, I’ve specialized in both music and languages. As a private music tutor (2018–present), I teach voice, elocution, and music theory, adapting to highly individualized needs while staying up to date with the latest vocal health/vocal pedagogy research. I’ve taught Greek as a Second Language to adult students (2020) and tutored English (2015–present), guiding learners across levels and supporting certifications with a 90%+ success rate, including debate preparation (Model United Nations).
Creativity is also central to how I teach. I’ve performed as a stage vocalist in high-stress situations with a strong focus on team work, and I’ve taught drama as a Theatre Animator for ages 5–12—using theatre, drama/improvisation games, and other creative activities. Along the way, I’ve strengthened my pedagogy through internships and roles such as Drama teacher (2015) and Team President for promoting Korean culture in Greece.
