Stephanidou, Julia, Faculty, Literacy Interventionist

Julia Stephanidou has a B.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Athens and M.A. in World and Comparative Literature from San Francisco State University.

She has taught English as a Foreign Language and English as a Second Language at the elementary, middle and high school levels since 2001 at private schools in Athens. She is particularly interested in English language acquisition at the primary stages of learning with a special emphasis on speaking activities. She has been working at A.C.S. Athens since 2014, initially as an EFL aide and, subsequently as an EFL teacher.

Her experience in previous schools also includes coaching students of the Forensics Club, setting up lesson plans for the first and second-grade afternoon programs, editing the elementary school magazine, and completing the Harvard online course “Visible Thinking”. At ACS Athens, Ms. Stephanidou also participated in a longitudinal growth plan that focused on the collection of data in order to better assess the needs and record the growth of the EFL and ESL population. Ms. Stephanidou had been teaching ESL at the Elementary School since September 2001, a position she very much enjoyed since she adores teaching younger learners of English who are also beginners. Finally, as of September 2025, Ms. Stephanidou is going to work as a Literacy Interventionist to help students hone their reading skills.
