About your tutor

I am Olivia Murillo, a passionate language teacher with 19 years of experience in internationally renowned IB schools. I specialize in teaching Spanish, Mathematics, and French across primary, middle, and high school levels. A native of El Salvador, I bring a rich Latin American heritage to my teaching, fostering cultural curiosity and understanding. My global teaching experience has enriched my approach, while my training as a health coach enables me to support students’ academic, emotional, and physical growth holistically. With a commitment to continuous improvement, I adapt my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students. I’ve had the opportunity to teach in different countries, which has deepened my ability to engage students from various cultural backgrounds. I believe in nurturing lifelong learning, developing not only language skills but also critical thinking, resilience, and empathy. Teaching is not just my career; it’s my passion for shaping young minds and supporting them on their educational journey.

Teaching methodology

My teaching philosophy focuses on creating a supportive and interactive environment where students feel empowered to take risks, overcome challenges, and maximize their potential. I use a mix of empathy, patience, and encouragement to guide learners, drawing from my own experiences as an English language learner. My lessons are dynamic and cater to individual learning styles, incorporating technology and mindfulness practices to promote engagement, well-being, and overall development in every student. Having taught across different curricula and grade levels, including the IB, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how students learn at different stages of their development. My ability to adapt and personalize lesson plans ensures that each student’s unique needs are met. I emphasize the importance of building a growth mindset and encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning. Whether through collaborative activities or technology-driven tools, I strive to make lessons engaging and relevant to students' lives.
