Teacherwise

What Teacherwise is

Teacherwise (written TeacherWise in places on its own site) is a Greek directory of private tutors. Students and parents search it for a teacher, compare profiles, prices and reviews, and arrange lessons online or at home; teachers pay a subscription to be listed. It is a learner product in the sense that matters to a family: the student never pays the platform, and lessons are agreed and paid directly between the two sides. The site is in Greek, and the home page says it connects teachers with students "από όλη την Ελλάδα" (from all over Greece), while its list of reasons to choose it mentions access to experienced teachers from Greece and abroad. It calls itself a modern educational platform offering an organized database of teachers across a wide range of specialties, for lessons online and in person at home.

What a student or parent gets

The subject list is long. On the school side it covers primary school, middle and high school, and the core subjects of the Greek system: language and literature, ancient Greek, Latin, history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology and economics (ΑΟΘ), plus study support, creative activities, careers guidance, sociology, engineering for vocational schools and informatics, including preparation for the public-sector (ΑΣΕΠ) informatics exams. University-level tutoring has its own entries for mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, economics, law, psychology, accounting, linguistics, history, ancient Greek and Latin, statistics with SPSS, agriculture and business administration, and the list also names speech therapy. Foreign languages run from English, French, German, Italian and Spanish to Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian, along with Greek. Outside academics the site lists music (theory, piano, guitar, saxophone, lute, voice, production, music technology, music therapy), chess, tennis, painting and dance.

The parents' FAQ describes three steps. A student searches by criteria such as subject, price and location, contacts the chosen teacher through the platform, and the two then agree on place, time and the way lessons will run. The "find a teacher" page sorts by title, newest, popularity, random order or price, and filters by category and by the offers a teacher has switched on. The home page says that once registered, a student can chat with the teacher and book the first lesson right away.

Each profile card shows the teacher's subjects, area, whether they teach at home, online or both, a star rating with the number of reviews, and the price; some cards show a separate online price. On the search page every card carries the line "Είμαι κάτοχος πτυχίου, διπλώματος ή πιστοποίησης" (I hold a degree, diploma or certification) with the institution the teacher studied at. The institutions shown include the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Universities of Patras, Ioannina, Crete, Piraeus and Western Macedonia, Democritus University of Thrace, the University of Damascus and, for a music teacher, two conservatories. A full profile adds the specialty, the teaching description, the hourly rate and the areas the teacher travels to.

Teachers can attach offers to their profile, and these double as search filters: a free first lesson, discounts for unemployed students, for large families, for groups and for siblings, and a price negotiable by number of hours. Several cards on the home page are marked with a free 15-minute getting-to-know-you lesson. One philology teacher's profile, for example, describes the first lesson as free and 60 minutes long, and her teaching of literature, ancient Greek and Latin for high school students heading for the national Panhellenic exams, with mock tests and past papers through the year. A German teacher's profile says she has taught online for 15 years over Microsoft Teams, Viber and Zoom; the platform itself names no video tool.

Reviews are central to how the directory works. After a lesson a student can rate the teacher with a score and comments, all reviews are public on the profile, and the site says it checks reviews for authenticity and deletes ones that break its terms or are offensive. Teachers can also review students, on consistency and cooperation. The home page advertises an online philology seminar for the 2027 Panhellenic exams, held over two weekends on 10 and 11 and 17 and 18 October 2026.

Prices and terms on the pages

Lesson prices are set by each teacher. On the home page cards they run from 10€ to 35€, with 15€ the most common figure; on the search page they run from 12,00€ to 30,00€. One full profile lists an hourly rate of 30 for online lessons. The FAQ says Teacherwise does not take part in the money: teacher and student agree the price and the method of payment, which may be cash, bank transfer or another method.

Teachers pay to be listed. The registration page shows two subscriptions, an annual one at 63€ a year, marked popular, and a six-month one at 35€ for six months. Both include dashboard access, unlimited profile changes, unlimited lessons, degree certification, a personal website and social media links on the profile, special offers, the choice of online or home teaching, reviews, profile promotion, photos and unlimited areas. The home page FAQ instead names three packages (three-month, six-month and annual) and says some tools, such as extra promotion on the home page or in parent groups, cost extra, while the registration page says no charge beyond the chosen subscription will ever be asked. The registration page is the one with prices on it.

Students contact a teacher either through the platform, which emails the teacher that a message is waiting (the FAQ adds an SMS), or directly on the phone number the teacher has declared. Teachers can upload files, presentations and notes to share with students, edit the profile as often as they like while subscribed, and delete it at any time from the settings. The FAQ says support is available by email, phone and live chat, that student registrations are checked to cut down on fake accounts, and that the site complies with GDPR, stores user data encrypted and does not share it with third parties without consent.

Who it suits and who it does not

Teacherwise suits a Greek family that wants to choose a tutor itself rather than be assigned one: compare a handful of profiles in a subject and area, read the reviews, check the price and the degree line, and message the teacher. It is a strong fit for secondary students preparing for the Panhellenic exams in literature, ancient Greek, Latin, mathematics or the sciences, for university students who need help in a specific course, and for anyone after a less common language or a music instrument. Families on a budget can filter for the free first lesson, sibling and group discounts and the large-family and unemployed discounts.

The model has limits a reader should know. The platform is a directory, not a tutoring company, so it does not match students, set prices, handle payment or stand behind a lesson; the arrangement is between family and teacher. Many profiles show no reviews yet, so the degree line and the description are often all there is to go on. Everything is in Greek, so a learner who does not read the language will struggle to use it. For teachers, it is a paid listing at a fixed yearly or half-yearly price with no commission on lessons, which suits a tutor who wants visibility and is happy to handle bookings and payment personally.
