academia?
At Athena Academia, we create an environment where learning is an inspiration, not an obligation. Our goal is not just to improve grades but to teach students to think critically, adapt, and become independent.
We design a customized learning plan for academic success — tailored to the student’s personality, thinking style, goals and lifestyle.
Every student we work with achieves academic growth. If you’re struggling with low grades or keeping up in class, we guarantee that you will improve. If you’re a high achiever striving for excellence—whether preparing for an Olympiad or pushing your limits—we have expert mentors to guide you.
Whether it’s mastering core concepts, preparing for exams, crafting research papers, or excelling in Oxbridge-style interviews — we’re with you at every step.
Our method strengthens critical thinking and strategic adaptability — so knowledge becomes a tool for long-term academic and professional success.
Structured support across all subjects — including TOK, Maths, Physics, History, Biology, Economics, Literature, and more. Including support for Extended Essays and Internal Assessments.
Our top-tier, highly qualified tutors from world-renowned institutions and IB examiners who explain with depth and clarity. Your child receives more than lessons — they gain confidence.
We break down formats, strategies, and writing sections. Practice is focused and purposeful — designed to deliver results. We don’t just teach how to take the test, but how to master its logic and feel in control.
Support with essays, personal statements, interviews, and application strategy. Our tutors have successfully navigated the path to Oxbridge, the Ivy League, and leading European universities — and now guide others with that same insight.
Assistance with dissertations, research projects, and advanced courses in economics, business, politics, physics, finance, calculus, and more. No tutoring clichés — just expert guidance that respects the student’s thinking style and academic maturity.
Academic or conversational English, French, Spanish, Italian, and more. Sessions with native-speaking tutors focused on real-world contexts — from interview preparation and academic writing to confident communication.

At Athena Academia, our tutors are more than graduates of top tier universities and examiners.
They are mentors who know how to translate complexity into clarity — adapting to each student’s way of thinking, and building true academic confidence.
We select tutors not just for their credentials, but for their emotional intelligence and ability to teach with respect, precision, and long-term impact. Each one undergoes a multi-stage selection process and follows Athena Academia’s signature methodology — proven through dozens of success stories, from academic breakthroughs to admissions to the world’s top universities.
We believe true results start with mutual understanding. That’s why matching a tutor is never just about the subject — it’s about personality, goals, and the way each student learns best.

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.
We begin with a personal consultation to explore your request in depth – from academic goals to thinking style and preferred learning pace. Based on this, we select a tutor who not only teaches the subject but speaks your “language” – intellectually and personally. If needed, we offer alternative options until the fit feels right.
You pay for lessons at the end of each month, based on the number of sessions you booked. We understand that academic needs vary – some months may require more lessons, particularly around exams, while others may require fewer. Our format is fully flexible: if your needs change, we adjust your program accordingly. All billing is handled securely and transparently.
Yes – if you have someone in mind, we’ll check availability and compatibility. However, we recommend beginning with a consultation so we can suggest a tutor who best fits your goals, rhythm, and communication style. Our approach is always based on personal alignment, not just subject expertise.
Very soon – could even be the next day! After the initial consultation (which we usually schedule within a few days), we aim to begin lessons within 2-4 days – or faster, depending on the tutors’ availability. In urgent cases, we do our best to accommodate tighter timelines.
Absolutely. Many of our students stay with their tutors long after they’ve achieved their first milestone – shifting from exam prep to deeper learning, or from academic support to personal development. We build lasting relationships based on trust and relevance.
Yes. If you prefer to move faster – whether for an exam, relocation, or a professional goal – we create a custom plan with a higher frequency of lessons. Intensives are carefully designed to keep progress sustainable without overwhelming you.
