About Corina
Corina Stone Martinez is an accomplished educator who has spent over two decades helping students achieve their academic goals. With a background in ESL teaching and a passion for fostering cultural exchange, Corina was instrumental in developing an international English program for a private school in Venezuela. This program enabled non-bilingual students to gradually become part of the International Baccalaureate Organization, offering them a high academic level and access to prestigious universities. Corina’s program aimed at the General Secondary Level provided students with rich cultural and scientific-technical content and promoted critical analysis. Her dedication to providing students with the tools to excel has resulted in many of them obtaining certificates and courses in the International Baccalaureate Program, including a higher-level English certificate.
In addition to her work in education, Corina founded the SeeMeForward foundation to help low-income, high-achieving, and first-generation students attain post-secondary education at top-tier schools. She aims to help students achieve comprehensive scholarships to fund their college careers and graduate debt-free. Her efforts have helped over 100 students gain admission to prestigious universities such as Stanford, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, University of Southern California, and Northwestern. She believes that higher education has a transformative effect on students, extending beyond their individual success to positively impact the community around them. She argues that by acquiring knowledge and skills through schooling, students can contribute to their community’s social, economic, and cultural development. Moreover, Corina contends that these students become role models, inspiring others in their community to pursue and achieve their goals.
Corina’s passion for education and commitment to helping students succeed has driven her to pursue further education. She is pursuing a Master of Science in Non-Profit Management at the Columbia School of Professional Studies
