Greek Language Instructor, living in Greece for over 20 years. Experienced in teaching privately, adults and children, and taught for 6 years at a Greek School in California.

Jaime is a fantstic Greek tutor. She really helped my vocabulary and confidence, and I really enjoyed her teaching style.

Jaime Smith is a fabulous Greek Language Instructor!
I am a parent of an exuberant 3rd grade child that has had the privilege of being taught Greek as a foreign language by Jaime. My husband is of Greek heritage, but until we enrolled her in classes with Jaime, we struggled to get our child interested in learning her dad’s first language. With only one class a week, both in-classroom early on, and online more recently, my daughter has increased her proficiency greatly. More importantly she’s become very excited to learn and practice the language.
Jaime is very attentive to her student's needs and manages to make a difficult subject fun and interactive, even in the remote-learning environment. When classes were in- person, she managed a full classroom of K-1 students and kept them engaged and learning for 2 hours at a time. Jaime’s love for the kids is palpable, and her ability to impart information in a manner that their developing minds can easily grasp is a talent indeed.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Jaime for any teaching position, as I believe she brings passion and joy to everything she does.

Jaime was my violin teacher for so many years...I met her as a child and we had courses until after I was an adult, and a teacher myself. She is the greatest violin teacher I could ever ask for! Extremely talented, patient, kind has everything needed and much more to guide you throughout your music trip! I am so glad I had her as my teacher and I would have recommended her without second thought! She made my love for violin an unbreakable bond. Jaime, thank you for everything you taught me!

I took violin lessons with Jaime for a little over three years. She was incredibly encouraging, supportive, and funny, while simultaneously pushing me to improve. With her wide array of hilarious musical analogies and remarkable talent, Jaime was able to explain complicated techniques in a way that was easy to understand and apply. This makes her an excellent teacher for beginners and advanced violinists. Our lessons were often a highlight of my week!

I've been taking violin lessons with Jaime for a little over two years. I was nervous about being an adult student, but Jaime has been incredible at patiently instructing me without making me feel like a child or "behind." I've had the pleasure of watching her perform, and have heard other students play as well, so I can say with confidence that she is knowledgeable and skilled not only as a violinist, but also as a teacher. Since we switched to an online format, I was worried I'd struggle more, but the transition was quite natural. She is able identify mistakes or areas that require improvement and can tell me, with just her words, how to fix/adjust. Though I'm actively being guided through a lesson plan, I still feel like Jaime respects my capabilities/needs and allows me to go at a comfortable pace. I really can't recommend her enough. She's a phenomenal teacher.

Best violin teacher… ever! I had let my fiddle languish in its case for a few months, and was pretty rusty when we met. But after only a couple months, not only have I been able to regain my skill and confidence, she’s brought my playing to a whole new level.

10/10 would recommend!
