Short Summary of the interview:

She often creates activities, such as puzzles and collages to keep students interested.
Eftichia has often asked advice from speech therapists on how to help her students with learning difficulties.

“Every child has its strengths. I focus on these rather than their weak points. I also try to communicate with the child to the best of my abilities and then with the parents. All together, we form a team.”
