Passionate About Helping Students Succeed Through Personal Care, Expert Guidance, and Outstanding IB Education
Mag. Mila Alexandrov
Academic Director and Founder
As an experienced IB Examiner and educator with more than 35 years of teaching experience, helping students achieve their full potential – both academically and personally – has always been at the heart of my career. Teaching, curriculum development, pastoral care, and extracurricular activities have all played an important role in creating a supportive learning environment where students can grow with confidence.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Teaching Biology and Chemistry, my teaching career has focused on Biology, Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS), and General Science at the secondary level. Experience gained at international schools in Malta, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, and Austria inspired the establishment of Study Academy Vienna to provide students with expert guidance, personalised support, and a welcoming international environment throughout the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
Professional experience includes roles as Head of the Science Department, Year Leader, and Activities Coordinator, together with a Certificate in International Leadership, specialising in Curriculum Leadership, Effective School Administration, Instructional Supervision, Evaluation, and Leadership Development. First-hand knowledge of the IB assessment process helps students prepare confidently and effectively for their examinations.

Mag. Alex Alexandrov
Sports Director and Co-Founder
As a highly experienced IB Sports educator and personal trainer, I am passionate about helping students develop confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of sport. A Bachelor’s Degree in Education and a Master’s Degree in Sports Science have given me a strong understanding of athletes’ physical, mental and educational needs.
Throughout my career, I have worked as a volleyball coach, National Tae Kwon Do Champion, and ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified personal trainer. I also represented my country at the International Olympic Academy in Olympia. In addition, my qualifications include kickboxing, bodybuilding, self-defence, health and nutritional supplements, sports injuries, massage therapy and sports recovery.
I have also worked as one of Vienna’s leading fitness trainers. As part of this work, I have delivered team-building seminars for youth athletes and fitness organisations in different countries.
My professional experience also includes designing and equipping fitness centres in the USA, Austria, the Bahamas and the UK. These projects created safe, motivating and effective training environments for adults and young people. Overall, these experiences have strengthened my belief that sport can inspire confidence, discipline and personal growth in young people.
Meet Our Team of Experienced IB Teachers & Examiners
At Study Academy Vienna, we carefully select every teacher for their expertise and dedication to student success. All courses are taught by experienced IB teachers who are also IB Examiners. Each teacher has at least 15 to 20 years of IB teaching experience. Some of our teachers are authors of IB textbooks used by students in international schools around the world. This reflects the exceptional expertise of the Study Academy Vienna teaching team.
Our teachers help students understand challenging IB concepts, improve exam techniques and prepare confidently for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. In addition, clear explanations, individual feedback and practical revision strategies help students build confidence and achieve strong IB results.
Students remember not only the high quality of our teaching but also the genuine care and encouragement they receive. As a result, many return to Study Academy Vienna for additional courses and recommend us to friends. This reflects the strong relationships our teachers build with their students.
Exceptional teaching, genuine care, and a passion for student success have been the foundation of Study Academy Vienna since 2014.
