Really effective teacher! I have been learning English for 15 years, and for the majority of that time I didn’t notice much progress. Fortunately, I found Nondas and things changed. Firstly, he prepared me for the IELTS exam, which I passed with a 7.5, although I started from 5. Secondly, I was moved to the advanced class at school after 6 months of lessons with Nondas. Finally, the lessons with him are very enjoyable. I didn’t feel stressed or bored during our meetings. After two years of lesso… Read more

Thanks to Nondas I achieved what seemed to me unachievable. Passing IELTS with 7.5 score was a quite a challenge and I owe much of this success to Nondas. He is undoubtely one of the best teachers I had the pleasure to work with. His professional attitude as well as creativity in terms of lesson preparation have made those lessons no less interesting than they were beneficial and effective. He does not only have qualities of an excellent teacher but he is also a great person whose patience is li… Read more

Nondas has been running FCE and conversation classes in our school. During the period with us he has proved to be very communicative, open-minded and friendly. He has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially teenagers. He particularly distinguishes himself through his genuine enthusiasm and conscientiousness which make him not only a perfect teacher but also a brilliant co-worker.
Nondas has been helping me with English for two years now. Learning and practicing the language with Nondas has helped me to develop my fluency in speaking. he has always been a very professional as well as fun teacher. He is a very open person, and making contact comes with ease for him. I would certainly recommend meeting him to anyone willing to polish their English 🙂 hence lessons with Nondas are both efficient and entertaining.

I am happy to recommend Nondas as an English teacher. He is a very competent, always well-prepared, open native speaker that any company can wish for. Can adjust the level of language skills and specificity of work for each person. I highly recommend him for both private individuals and companies.

Nondas is the best native speaker that every company would like to have. He adapts the lessons with regards to language skills, employee interests and their position within the company, accordingly. He was also very helpful in creating a copy for our website and with providing corrections of various texts (very fast!). He is always well-prepared and brings a smile to every class. I recommend English lessons with Nondas for private individual lessons and in-company courses 🙂
Mr. Pettas has been very flexible in terms of adjusting his classes to the company’s needs. Initially his classes were focused on the language itself and its usage in the business environment. Covering business specific vocabulary and different means of communication in a business environment (such as face to face communication, emails, telephoning). Recently, as a response to requests coming from the company, the format of some lessons has changed. Now, as Avanade employees seek support not onl… Read more
