My name is Zuraida and IB English was my favorite subject. I studied at the National University of Singapore. I am a Professional IB Educator with diverse experience and a strong track record fostering student-centered curriculum and student creativity. I like to relax by playing the piano and cooking. I always suggest to my students: To write well you should think as a writer. I have proven abilities in problem solving, people management and motivation. I think a good teacher should encourage students to be the best version of themselves, striving to beat their “Personal Best”.

The IB subject that left a lifelong mark on me was Business Management, and I scored a 38 in the IB. I studied BSc International Relations and Chinese at the London School of Economics. In my free time, I enjoy hiking in the mountains, reading about psychology, and dancing! A piece of advice for IB students: I would recommend completing your internal assessments as early as possible so that you can prepare well for your exams during the second year. To do this, of course, you should work through all the past papers from previous years! 🙂 I believe that the secret to being a good teacher is receiving constant feedback. It is essential to know at all times what is most helpful to the student.

Hi, I'm Olivia and I loved Physics at College, obtaining a 38/45 in my IB score. I studied Law at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. I am a self-directed, action-oriented professional with years of experience in Philosophy and English education. I love to spend time with my family and friends, yoga, reading, cinema and cooking. I’m an enthusiastic, committed educator with an innate ability to understand and motivate my pupils. Students should choose their subjects according to their interests. A good teacher should know what a student needs to progress and be prepared in order to get the best out of their students.

The IB subject that left a lifelong mark on me was Biology NS, and I scored 42 out of 45 in the IB. Subsequently, I studied Medicine at the Complutense University of Madrid.
I'm passionate about fashion and makeup. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, partying, attending festivals, and going to music concerts.
Based on my experience in the IB, I tell my students that the most important thing is to know how to organize yourself to make the most of your time, but above all, to surround yourself with people who support and motivate you. I believe that if you can explain a concept to a 5-year-old and they understand it, you are a good teacher.

Hi, I'm Ismael and Physics SL was my best IB subject. I obtained a 43/45 in my IB, that's why I decided to study Physics, at King´s College London. I usually hike, play the flute/guitar, or write poetry. I love spending time (doing anything) with my friends, and I try to participate in as many volunteering experiences as possible. Occasionally, I also enjoy theatre and activities like bouldering. The importance of being organised in your higher studies (namely college or IB) is always highlighted by every teacher, professor, alumni, etc. As a disorganised student, I believe it's never emphasised enough. A good teacher means understanding whatever they are delivering and, most importantly, actively listening to their students!

I'm Blanca García, and my favorite IB subject at school was physics. I achieved a score of 38 in the IB Diploma and went on to study Aerospace Engineering at the University of Glasgow. In my personal life, I'm passionate about sports, particularly muay thai, which I've been practicing for years. I'm also a singer in a band, and I enjoy listening to music, traveling, meditating, and reading. My advice to IB students is to remember that success in the IB isn't just about studying. It's crucial to be organized enough to balance fun, hobbies, and study. A thousand hours of studying per day isn't the key; it's about managing your time effectively and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through sports, good nutrition, and a clear mind. As for teaching, I believe empathy is the secret. The best teachers are those who can put themselves in their students' shoes. This approach helps students feel supported, trust their teacher, and be more engaged and attentive in class.

I'm Laura Birbe Campàs, and my favorite IB subjects are biology and chemistry. I scored 42 points on the IB Diploma and studied Biomedicine at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. Outside of academics, I love traveling, sports, music, and watching movies. My advice to IB students is to remember that it's a long journey, so stay focused on your goals and prioritize organization and planning. As for teaching, I believe the key is connecting with students, understanding their needs, and making learning enjoyable and effective.

I'm Laura Galeano, and my favorite IB subjects at school were Business Management and Economics. I went on to study Economics and Business Administration at the University of Havana, Humboldt University, and Universidad Carlos III of Madrid. In my personal life, I'm passionate about reading, dancing, and music. My advice to IB students is simple: enjoy the journey. The IB can be challenging, but it's also a unique opportunity to grow both academically and personally. As for teaching, I believe the secret is to truly care for your students. When students feel supported and valued, they're more likely to engage, trust their teacher, and thrive in their studies.

My name is Francesca Pilia, and my favorite IB subject at school was History. I achieved a score of 41 in the IB and went on to earn a degree in Economics and Sociology from Sciences Po Paris. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, doing sports like bouldering and windsurfing, playing the guitar, and reading about international relations. My advice to IB students is to remember that while the IB is challenging, losing focus for a moment isn’t the end of the world. The key is to be resilient and work hard to get back on track, with the support of a community you can rely on. As for teaching, I believe a good teacher must create a space where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns, while also encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone and grow. Communication and mutual respect are essential to achieving this.

Hello! I’m Sara Varela Míguez. My journey in the International Baccalaureate (IB) was truly enriching, with Philosophy and Physics being my favourite subjects. I’m proud to say I achieved a perfect score of 45 in the IB! After that, I pursued my passion for helping others by studying Medicine at the University of Santiago de Compostela. When I’m not immersed in my studies, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book or indulging in my love for creative activities like crochet and knitting. My advice for current students? Set your sights on your goals, but don’t forget to enjoy the journey along the way. As for teaching, I believe the secret lies in patience, empathy, and always being willing to listen to students' doubts and concerns.
