Our academy is built on deep respect for the individual – their questions, way of thinking, and rhythm of life. There are no typical courses or one-size-fits-all programs here – only personalised strategies, created with you and for you.
We work with clients in the UK, Switzerland, Monaco, France, and far beyond.
We combine classical European education, modern methodology, and a mentoring approach.
Each tutor on our team is not only an expert in their field, but also a mentor – someone who guides with attention and dignity, without pressure or rigid formulas.
Athena Academia is named
after Athena — the Greek goddess of wisdom, learning, and strategic thinking.
Athena Academia is named after Athena — the Greek goddess of wisdom, learning, and strategic thinking.
Honored in mythology for her intellect and mastery of both the arts and warfare, Athena represents a powerful union of knowledge, creativity, and strength.
*“Ἀρχὴ παιδεύσεως ἡ τῶν νέων ἀνατροφή.”*
*“The beginning of education is the upbringing of the young.” – Pythagoras 570-495 BC*
We exist to transform education by seeing each student as an individual, nurturing both mind and character, and inspiring futures beyond what they thought possible.
At the heart of Athena Academia stands its founder, Tina Lyberaki — an educator, physicist, and mentor with over a decade of experience teaching ambitious students across Monaco, the French Riviera, Switzerland, and the UK.
Tina began her academic path at University College London (UCL), where she studied physics at one of the world’s top institutions.
But her most significant recognition came not from lecture halls, but from one-on-one mentorship — helping students unlock their academic potential and gain admission to the most selective universities.
Her teaching approach was shaped by the intersection of academic precision, emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of how individuals learn. Tina looks beyond conventional methods, focusing instead on creating an intellectually rich, confidence-building experience tailored to each learner.
This philosophy became the foundation of Athena Academia — an institution designed to deliver high-level academic results through personalisation, strategic thinking, and human connection.
Tina remains actively involved as a tutor, empowering students’ minds and inspiring their futures.
