👩‍🏫 About Me

I'm Claire Phillips, an experienced and passionate Science and Chemistry educator with over 15 years in international education. I specialise in guiding students through the MYP and IGCSE science programmes, as well as IBDP Chemistry at both HL and SL levels.

After over a decade teaching in leading international schools in the UK, China, and Brazil, I now focus on educational consultancy, curriculum development, and one-on-one tutoring. I bring extensive experience in science education leadership, including curriculum design, teacher mentoring, and coordination of large-scale student events such as science competitions and job-alike workshops.

I have been an IBDP Chemistry examiner since 2014, which gives me valuable insight into how students can best prepare for assessments and develop strong exam technique.

São Paulo International Schools STEAM Competition

The São Paulo International Schools STEAM Competition is an inspiring annual event that brings together student teams from international and bilingual schools in São Paulo. Established to promote interdisciplinary learning, the event invites young innovators to showcase their strengths in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through real-world, hands-on challenges.

As the founder of the São Paulo International Schools STEAM Competition, I’m excited to invite international and bilingual schools to join us for this year’s in-person event on Friday, November 29, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Students (14+) will compete in teams of up to four, tackling real-world challenges through creative, hands-on projects in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
