I am a graduate of East China Normal University (华东师范大学) and Emlyon Business School, holding an IBDP bilingual diploma. With over 5 years of teaching experience and a deep, lifelong understanding of the IB curriculum, I know exactly what it takes to succeed—because I’ve been there myself.

Having navigated the challenges of both the IB exams and SAT, I understand the pressure and know how to help you excel. As a top 3 global debater, and representative of Indonesia at the Tournament of Champions at Yale University, I also offer extensive public speaking expertise to ensure you develop strong communication skills alongside academic success.

I specialize in:
- IB Exam Preparation: With firsthand experience in IB exams, I guide you through strategies to tackle each component of the curriculum and maximize your results.
- SAT, TOEFL, and IELTS Prep: Drawing from my own experience with standardized tests, I provide tailored strategies to boost your scores.
- Public Speaking: Leverage proven techniques to enhance your speaking confidence and performance, whether for debates, presentations, or interviews.

My teaching philosophy combines academic mastery with real-world communication skills, empowering you to think critically, communicate clearly, and succeed in every challenge. Every lesson is personalized to help you build the skills you need and achieve your ultimate goals.

About Me
Hi,

I'm Kevin! I’m a dedicated tutor with a global perspective, passionate about helping young learners thrive. With degrees from Business School in Paris and 华东师范大学 in Shanghai, my background spans diverse educational systems. As an IB Bilingual Diploma graduate who balanced academics with rigorous dance training as an international athlete, I bring resilience and focus—qualities I aim to instill in my students.

My teaching journey began in high school, tutoring young children in Indonesia, where access to quality education is limited. Since then, I've have been working with young students in math, science, and English, creating a warm, interactive environment that nurtures curiosity and builds confidence. I encourage students to learn through exploration and understand that mistakes are a natural and valuable part of growth.

Alongside tutoring, I work in AI and ICT solutions with companies like Amazon, allowing me to bring fresh, real-world insights that spark curiosity in young learners. With an Indonesian-Chinese background, I’m fluent in English and Indonesian and proficient in Chinese and French, connecting easily with diverse families

Inspired by a mentor, I want to be a positive role model, nurturing a love for learning and building skills that grow confidence and independence.

Feel free to send me a quick message. I am more than happy to answer your inquiry.

Navigating international education can be challenging, but I’m living proof that success is possible across continents. As a graduate of East China Normal University (华东师范大学) and Emlyon Business School, with an IBDP bilingual diploma, I’ve built my career in Asia, Europe, and North America. From mastering the IB curriculum to working in Shanghai with global companies like Amazon, my journey wasn’t easy—especially without a mentor to guide me. Now, I want to help you overcome those same challenges and unlock your full potential in the global arena.

With over 5 years of experience in education and a personal understanding of how hard it can be to build a career from scratch in unfamiliar environments, I provide comprehensive consulting services for:
1. International Education Pathways: I help students choose the right academic path, whether through the IB curriculum or other global educational systems, ensuring they’re set up for success in the international arena.
2. University Admissions Strategy: Leveraging my experience with top universities in Europe, the U.S., and Asia, I guide students through the complexities of applications, personal statements, and interviews, with a focus on standing out in competitive global admissions.
3. Test Prep & Academic Coaching: I share tested strategies for SAT, TOEFL, IELTS, and other standardized exams, ensuring students perform their best while balancing academics and extracurriculars.
4. Cross-Cultural Insight & Leadership Development: Having worked in diverse cultural environments, I offer invaluable advice on adapting to life abroad, honing leadership skills, and excelling in international settings.

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,
