Katerina Belesi
Teacher (Adults)


Mrs. Katerina Belesi, Director of the Greek Language School, was born and raised in Greece. She completed her university studies as the University of Patras with a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, School of Humanities and Social Studies. From Mrs. Belesi “Early in my studies, I realized that I love to share and enrich my knowledge in new ways, and this led me to extend my interests in the scientific field of Classical and Humanity Studies which opens up avenues of knowledge and offers the flexibility of human thinking and critical perspective very important in the acquisition of language.” Upon completion of her undergraduate studies she continued art and innovative practices in teaching with her graduate courses in Ancient Greek Theater. In 2012, she relocated to San Diego, CA. Mrs. Belesi has taught for us in our Greek Language School and we are delighted to have her bring her experience and expertise to the role of Director.
