What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to inspire students and contribute to educational resources.

With 36 years of continuous experience in both private and public education, I have dedicated my career to teaching Mathematics at the Secondary Education level. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my students' achievements, as I have consistently maintained a 100% success rate in preparing them for the Panhellenic Examinations and various mathematics competitions organized by the Hellenic Mathematical Society.

Throughout my career, I have taught over 3000 students in both public and private schools, and I have also managed my own Private Secondary Education Institute, where I successfully guided over 500 students to university entrance exams. My students have not only excelled in national exams but have also earned distinctions in international competitions, showcasing their talents on prestigious platforms.

In addition to my teaching, I have co-authored mathematics textbooks for Secondary Education, contributing to the academic resources available for future generations. I am passionate about fostering a love for mathematics in my students and equipping them with the skills they need to succeed.
