Two teachers who opened their own school in Venerato, and a team that grew around them.
Μαζί σχεδιάζουμε το Μέλλον σας!
«Peri Paideias» was created by Vasilis Karatzis and Maria Manthaiaki, after many years of teaching in classrooms and one to one.
Through daily contact with students and families we understood something simple: supporting a child does not stop at the syllabus. It needs a space they come to gladly, a schedule that holds, and someone who notices that something is wrong before the grade says so.
So we built a school with small groups, one that supports children from their first steps in primary school to the «marathon» of the national exams.
A student knows who is in front of them, and we know what each of us is doing.
Βασίλης Καράτζης
Mathematician · Special educator· Founding member
Head of science studies
BSc Applied Mathematics (University of Crete) | MSc Specific Learning Difficulties (University of Calabria)
Maths from the first year of middle school to advanced high school maths, backed by many years in the classroom. He starts from where the gap was left, not from today's chapter, and he has a gift for inspiring his students: they leave wanting to solve the problem, not just hand it in.
Μαρία Μανθαιάκη
Philologist · Special educator· Founding member
Head of humanities studies
BA Philology (University of Crete) | MSc Classical Studies (University of Crete) | MSc Specific Learning Difficulties (University of Calabria)
Language subjects from the first year of middle school to the national exams. With many years of teaching behind her and a structured method that simplifies even the most demanding material, she guides students step by step towards success. Her second specialisation in learning difficulties means that when a child struggles, the route changes rather than the goal.
Μαρία Αθανασάκη
Philologist
Head of the study centre
BA Philology (University of Crete) | Specialisation in history
Language subjects, and the daily study sessions for primary school children. With deep affection and real dedication for teaching, she does not simply deliver material, she inspires. She builds an environment of genuine support and confidence, where every child unlocks what they are capable of, develops their critical thinking and gains the self belief they need to love learning.
Κώστας Τριαματάκης
Mathematician
BSc Mathematics (University of Patras) | MSc Mathematics and Applications (University of Crete) | Doctoral candidate (Max Planck Institute)
Maths for every year group. With a high scientific level and a rare gift for getting it across, he has a way of explaining difficult things in the plainest words: «as simple as possible, but not simpler». He unlocks how students think, answers every question patiently, and helps them believe in what they can do and come to love the subject.
Γιάννα Καλλέργη
Computer science
BSc and MSc Computer Science (University of Crete)
Computer science, from the basic ideas to the exams. With a passion for technology and an organised method, she insists on a real understanding of the logic before the application, so a student can confidently solve even a problem they have not seen before. She develops analytical thinking and adapts the lesson to each child, leading them to success with confidence.
