Lilia Tsakanika, 4th Lykeio Rodou

 I am Evangelia Tsakanika and I am an archaeologist. I am 45 years old, married with a son who is 8 years old.

I graduated from the department of history and archeology of the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki specialising in archeology.  After graduating from the University, I successfully attended an one-year full-time postgraduate course in the department of Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham, where I became an MA holder in Greek Archaeology.

I worked in the Greek Archaeological Service for many years and I took part in many excavations in different places in Greece as scientific Staff.

For the last twelve years I have been working as a greek philologist in public schools. I have been teaching ancient and modern greek language and history in the 4^th general Lyceum of Rhodes for the last four years.

I have attended a number of seminars on teaching methods concerning both children and adults. Also I speak English fluently and I am computer literate.

I like teaching as the daily cooperation with young people is very interesting and enjoyable.  My aim is to attract the interest of my students, enrich their cultural awareness and approach the science of history from various aspects.

In my spare time I enjoy running, cycling and dancing. I love travelling and meeting new people.
