My name is Eva Ballesteros; but everyone calls me DrB.
I am an international educator, educational leader, and consultant with more than twenty-five years of experience working across a wide range of educational contexts.
My career has taken me through classrooms, universities, curriculum teams, teacher training programmes, and senior leadership positions in international schools. Throughout that journey, I have remained interested in a central question: how do we create educational experiences that are both intellectually rigorous and genuinely meaningful?
I hold a PhD in Education and a degree in Philosophy and Letters, and my work has always been shaped by an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together curriculum, language, critical thinking, communication, and human development.
Over the years, I have worked with students, teachers, coordinators, and school leaders across different countries and educational systems. My experience includes curriculum design, programme development, accreditation processes, professional learning, educational leadership, and extensive involvement with the International Baccalaureate.
As an IB educator, I have served in a variety of roles including teacher, coordinator, workshop leader, examiner, and educational leader. This combination of classroom experience and strategic leadership allows me to support schools not only in understanding educational frameworks, but in implementing them effectively and sustainably.
My particular areas of interest include curriculum design, Theory of Knowledge, the IB Core, reflective practice, educational leadership, and the development of learning environments that encourage curiosity, independence, and intellectual growth.
Through Noctua Education, I work with schools, educators, leaders, and students who are looking for thoughtful, practical, and evidence-informed support. Whether the focus is programme development, professional learning, leadership mentoring, or student success, my aim is always the same: to help people think more clearly, work more effectively, and build educational experiences that matter.
