Teachers | Greek School

meet our TEACHERS

Dimitris Andriopoulos, Principal (Levels Intermediate to Advanced)

I have been a teacher at the Hellenic Community School of Vancouver for over 15 years. I’m passionate about teaching the Greek Language, culture, and traditions to my students because I believe that it is essential for the new generations to be aware of their cultural roots and background. As Rita Mae Brown once said, “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”

Angela Karellas, Teacher (Levels Preschool and Kindergarden)

I have been working at the Greek school for over 20 years. I love to offer a fun and interactive environment so the children will explore, see, and learn about the Greek language and culture. I look forward to going to school every day to listen to their funny incredible ideas and share exciting learning activities.

Maria Kalogeropoulou, Teacher (Levels Beginner - Intermediate)

I was born and raised in Greece, and I am very proud to teach my language and culture to our students. I have been working in education for more than twenty years both in Greece and in Canada. I have been teaching at the Hellenic Community of Vancouver since 2012, and since then I have seen hundreds of students growing up to speak the language, adore the culture and appreciate the long history of Greece. I understand that every child has different strengths and weaknesses in their learning process. Therefore, I am committed to having differentiated instruction in my class with a variety of opportunities for my students to achieve their goals

Rafailia Beta, Teacher (Levels Beginner)

I moved to Vancouver from Greece a few years ago, and I am eager to help my students connect with their Greek heritage and background, develop critical thinking, and develop lifelong learning skills. I create an interactive class environment that fosters belonging for each student’s personality and learning style so they can have a fun and fulfilling learning experience
