Is Cleopatra Well-Educated?
We know that Cleopatra herself was well educated. She spoke multiple languages, she was apparently the first Ptolemy to learn Egyptian in amongst all the other languages that she spoke.

Given her parentage, I assume there would be at least multiple languages that she would has been fluent in or at least taught those kinds of things.
