Not really. Although Greek has several local dialects, the pronunciation variations across the Greek population are relatively small (no matter that we always exaggerate them for effect). Plus, no one really knows what the "classical" pronunciations sounded like. We can make some educated guesses from the tonal symbols that older Greek used to use to guide pronunciation, but that's all. Most differences on pronunciation that your stats professor has been complaining for could just be accounted by normal differences in phonetics by people trying to casually pronounce some Greek words or letters.
