About Marilena
I am a Northwestern University graduate with a strong academic background in literature, writing, and performance. Having lived and studied across four countries, I bring an international perspective to my teaching and a deep understanding of different educational systems, including the IB. Alongside my academic work, I have experience in musical theater performance, event leadership, tour guidance, and theater management, which allows me to teach writing and analysis in a way that is both structured and engaging. I focus on helping students think critically, express themselves clearly, and build confidence in their ideas. These are skills that go beyond exams and are essential for university and beyond. I am highly organized, reliable, and professional in all aspects of my work. I prioritize clear communication, timely responses, and lessons that are carefully prepared and tailored to each student’s needs. My goal is to create a focused but supportive learning environment where students feel motivated, challenged, and capable of achieving strong results.

I whole-heartedly recommend Marilena to both students that are extremely passionate about a subject and to ones that are so confused and frustrated with their instructor that they need someone to help them clear things up. On the one end Marilena is a deeply passionate and knowledgeable person whose enthusiasm will most certainly contaminate you and motivate you to pursue learning. As a victim of that contamination I have been able to learn so much about musical theater and other fields that are foreign to me as a Mathematics major, showcasing her ability to teach information to people with completely different knowledge-basis and interests. I was also able to attend one of her tours in which I admired her ability to have memorised a huge amount of information that were organised in such an intuitive way while at the same time she was able to improvise based on the desires and interests of the people at the tour which shows her strong ability to cater to the needs of her audience. It is notable to say that this tour happened almost two years ago and I can still recall some very specific information that she shared with us, which I believe tells you a lot about her ability to add knowledge in your mind. In summary, I believe that teaching apart from a deep knowledge of the subject requires the ability to create a performance that will inspire and pierce through the student and I think Marilena is a person that is extraordinary in combining the two.

As her mother, I’ve seen Marilena’s dedication to education and helping others grow. She is professional, hardworking, and deeply invested in her students’ success, especially in writing, analysis, and university preparation.
Me and Marilena met at Northwestern and she is the only greek person I got close with instantly. Without her, life at northwestern would have been miserable. She is the perfect person for this job as she is one of the most caring, compassionate, dedicated and fun people I’ve ever met. During our time at college, she taught me so many things about the theater world and took me on a tour to her performance buildings just because I had never been and she wanted for me to experience that. We also took many spanish classes together and honestly she made me such a better student. She always helped me with homework everytime I needed it, she made sure I understood the material, had practice quizzes together and she made our spanish projects so much fun. I know for a fact she will be an amazing teacher.
Marilena is an outstanding professional whom I would highly recommend. She brings a great deal of experience and has a talent for explaining things clearly and simply. Her strong writing and English skills make communication seamless, and she is extremely organized, which gives you confidence and peace of mind in the work.
