Mona<\/span> Kuribayashi<\/span><\/h3>
Co-Founder<\/span><\/div>

Hello everyone, my name is Mona. Allow me to share a bit about my journey that shaped me into who I am today. After moving to Germany from Japan in the 4th grade, I faced the overwhelming challenges of adjusting to a new culture, making new friends, and learning new languages. The ISR community helped me find my place and discover my true self, inspiring me to tutor students facing similar situations after graduating from ISR in 2021. I am currently studying piano performance. Both as a pianist and a tutor, I strive to foster meaningful human connections that allow us to share valuable insights, which I believe are essential for self-development.<\/p>

Hello! I am an ISR grad of 2021, currently diving deep into the world of Computer Science and Business at TUM.

Rishima<\/span> Menon<\/span><\/h3>
LIS Collaborator<\/span><\/div>

Hello everyone, I completed my schooling from Leipzig International School, where I developed a strong academic foundation and honed my leadership skills. Following this, I pursued an undergraduate degree in International Business from the University of Leeds, which provided me with a global perspective on business practices and marketing strategies. During my time in grade 12, I had the opportunity to tutor fellow students, an experience that was incredibly gratifying and solidified my commitment to helping others succeed. Since I moved around quite a lot, I realised that I am a people person and thrive in roles that allow me to connect, communicate, and collaborate with others, which is what GradTutor has also helped with.<\/p>

Minh<\/span> Do<\/span><\/h3>
MSF Collaborator<\/span><\/div>

Hi everyone, my name is Minh and I\u2019m from Vietnam. After graduating at MSF and completing the IB program in 2023, I am now studying Business Administration at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. Moving to a new country at the age of 18, it took me quite a while to adjust to a new life. Thanks to the MSF community, I was able to overcome the difficulties and become a better version of myself today. Therefore, I would like to use my experience as an international student to assist those who are in the same shoes as me. As part of several community projects before, I believe that my personality and skills can fit well with everyone and I\u2019m looking forward to see what I can bring to GradTutor.<\/p>
