Founder & President

Championing Education and Equity

Marina Grijalva, originally from Calexico, California, is the youngest of five siblings and the first in her family to graduate from a four-year university. After earning her degree from Pomona College and an M.A. in Spanish Literature from the University of Texas at El Paso, Marina embarked on a teaching career. Her double major in Math and Spanish allowed her to teach at various educational levels.

In 2008, Marina founded My New Tutor, a business specializing in one-on-one academic support and test preparation. She then co-founded MyNT Education with Carlos Solorio in 2010, expanding their services to approximately 200 students each year with a focus on both tutoring and college counseling.

In 2018, Marina established Mundo Academy to address educational disparities and promote equality. Mundo Academy partners with schools and community organizations to create programs that boost academic performance and confidence among students from diverse economic backgrounds.

Today, Mundo Academy proudly collaborates with a wide range of schools and community organizations throughout Los Angeles.
