About

Hi, I’m Elena Arvanitou, a foreign language teacher and translator based in Piraeus, Greece. I have extensive experience teaching German, English and Greek as a foreign language and translating between German, English, and Greek, working with language institutes and media producers as a translator and subtitler. I deliver accurate translations, clear subtitles, and high-quality language materials for education and media projects.

I’m passionate about helping learners and viewers access German, English and Greek as a foreign language and culture through thoughtful instruction and precise localization. I continually update my skills through seminars and professional development, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to create engaging learning resources and media content.
