Présentation

Hi! I am a multilingual and internationally educated student with a diverse academic background, having grown up across different countries and education systems. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and also speak French, which allows me to connect with students from a wide range of backgrounds.

I come from a Spanish heritage but was brought up in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and have attended top international schools throughout my education. This has given me strong adaptability, cultural awareness, and a clear understanding of different academic systems, particularly the IB and international university pathways.

Having experienced highly competitive academic environments from a young age, I understand both the expectations placed on students and the challenges they face. Combined with my own recent experience navigating exams and university applications, I bring a well-rounded, global perspective to my tutoring, along with a structured and supportive approach to helping students succeed.
