    International Admissions & Pathway Expert | IB, IGCSE, National Curriculum

    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.

    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.
