I’m Egle Giakoumis – Founder & Managing Director of Smooth Move - International Education Consultancy and your go-to expert for all things related to international schooling and relocation in Spain.
With a background in Social Sciences, a Master’s degree from the University of Edinburgh, and a career that’s taken me across five countries, I’ve turned navigating complex international systems into something of an art form. I’ve been the new kid in town more than once – from Athens to Edinburgh, Sofia, London, Vilnius to Madrid – and I know firsthand how overwhelming (and exciting!) a big move can be.
Curating Exceptional Educational Journeys for Global Families
As a mother and an expatriate myself, I understand that relocating is more than just logistics—it’s deeply emotional. Choosing the right school, building a sense of belonging, and supporting your children as they adapt? I’ve been through it. I understand.
Before launching Smooth Move – International Education Consultancy, I worked with VIP clients in luxury retail and international education, delivering tailored experiences with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I bring that same personalized touch to every family I support. I speak five languages (though my favorite is the one that makes people feel at home).
Whether it’s breaking down the differences between the Spanish, IB, British, American or other international curriculums, coordinating school tours on a tight schedule, or simply offering reassurance that your child will make friends—I’m here to make the process less overwhelming and a lot more human.
For me, Smooth Move is more than just a name—it’s a commitment to turning your relocation into a positive, well-guided experience. From school choices to settling in, my goal is to make the journey feel less like a challenge and more like one of the best decisions your family has ever made.
