Daryl Wakeham

Educator

Daryl taught English and Social Studies in both the public and private education sectors for 38 years. Most recently, he taught at St. George's School for 25 years, eventually becoming the Head of the Personal Counselling Department for the last 10 years of his time at the school.

In order to keep his academics and his love of teaching strong, he also taught English 11 AP.
His goal is to use his teaching and counselling experience to help bring teachers, coaches and parents to the collaborative table to creatively maximize our students’ potential.

He found that maintaining a good relationship is imperative in education. Students must feel that their teacher and advisors know them, so that when issues arise or difficulties manifest themselves, they are more likely to ‘listen’ and embrace a learning strategy.

Dawid Mora

Educator

Dawid graduated from SFU with a degree in English Literature. He is a certified teacher with extensive classroom experience both as a teacher and a curriculum developer. Dawid also has an Art degree and a certificate in English language instruction.

It is important to recognize and embrace the student’s own unique views and personality and channel it into opportunities to enhance learning and growth. As a teacher, his primary role is that of a facilitator of learning, creating opportunities that improve the chances of student success, while addressing the student as a whole person through instruction designed to meet their needs, offered in a welcoming, safe and engaging environment.

Jasyn Katrusiak

Educator

The majority of Jasyn’s professional teaching career has been in Vancouver, but has included stops in Korea, China, and most notably in Japan, where he was involved with the successful development and implementation of an English education pilot program for the Toyonaka City School Board.
Before coming to KEY, he founded and operated his own language school in Coquitlam for international students. For 20 years, being able to assist and watch students from elementary age to high school achieve and grow as individuals was his most rewarding experience.
KEY’s core values align with his views on education, including the importance of critical thinking, challenging students to perform to their best, and that educational style and content should be tailored to an individual. In academics, an educator needs to consider what attributes make our students stand out, including their social awareness, extracurriculars, sports, and the arts.
He is a strong believer that the foundations that are developed from a young age, such as working hard and learning to cooperate with others, are the keys to success.
