Afroditi Falierou

Afroditi Falierou is a student in the Business Administration program at Hellenic College Holy Cross in Boston. Concurrently, she is pursuing studies in the Department of Elementary Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Her academic path reflects her deep love for the Greek language and education, as well as her commitment to making a meaningful contribution to the preservation of Greek cultural identity within the diaspora.

Her involvement in teaching Greek as a second language began while she was living in Turkey, where she taught Greek to bilingual children. Last year, she worked as a second-grade teacher at the Saint Nectarios Greek School in Roslindale, Boston, an experience that helped her further develop her teaching skills and approach education with greater pedagogical responsibility and creativity.

Within the framework of the Nostos Hellenic Academy, she feels particularly honored to be given the opportunity to continue this work, strengthening students' language skills and fostering their connection with the Greek language and culture.
