Overview
International Educator | IB Specialist | Literary Guide
With over 25 years of teaching experience across four countries, I specialize in helping students develop deep literary understanding, critical thinking skills, and confidence in their own voices. Whether you’re navigating the IB Diploma Programme, preparing extended essays, or simply looking to strengthen your reading and writing skills, I bring expertise, cultural awareness, and genuine care to every tutoring session.
My Tutoring Approach
Excellent teaching begins with listening. Every student brings unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives to their learning. My role is to meet you where you are, understand your goals, and create a supportive environment where you can take intellectual risks and grow.
Having taught students from over 60 nationalities in the Middle East, Latin America, and the United States, I understand how to make complex literary concepts accessible across cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I speak conversational Spanish and bring cultural competency to every interaction.

Beyond Academics
I’m also a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher with trauma-informed training, and I served as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate for children in foster care. These experiences have deepened my commitment to student wellbeing and my understanding of how to create safe, supportive learning environments for all students.
