ABOUT ME
My name is Maria Trapali and for the past few years, I have been permanently residing on Sifnos island, where I work as a French teacher in my own language school called "French School Maria Trapali in Sifnos". I have a degree in French Studies from the University of Paris - Sorbonne (PARIS IV) and I am a certified examiner at the Institut Français d'Athènes.
Apart from teaching French, I also teach Greek to foreigners who choose to come to Sifnos and learn the Greek language.
