Petros's academic journey began at the University of Crete, Greece, where he pursued his passion for Applied Mathematics. He then earned a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics from Imperial College London. It was in London that he naturally transitioned from academia to education—a decision he considers one of the best of his life.

His career in education has been both dynamic and fulfilling. From serving as a Lead Practitioner for A Level Mathematics in London schools to teaching the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, Petros has embraced the challenges of education while consistently delivering high-quality learning experiences to students from diverse backgrounds. He has also been an examiner of Edexcel/Pearson, Cambridge and IBDP for a number of years, consistently marking Further Maths, Pure/Mechanics abd IBDP papers. His teaching journey has taken him to breathtaking destinations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and he now works in Cambodia, where he continues to foster intellectual curiosity among his students.

Beyond the classroom, Petros enjoys padel, running, hiking, traveling, and cooking for friends. He believes in maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle and lives by the motto “Mens sana in corpore sano”—"A healthy mind in a healthy body.

With over 32 years of experience in education, I help students build a genuine, lasting understanding of GCSE Biology and Environmental Management rather than a fragile grasp of grade-boundary facts. Many students struggle with GCSE Biology and EM not because the content is out of reach, but because exam success demands a specific skill set: applying knowledge to unfamiliar contexts, structuring extended-response answers, and interpreting data confidently under time pressure. I work with students individually to close these gaps, breaking down topics such as cell biology, genetics, ecology, and human physiology into clear, manageable steps, while building the exam technique and confidence that turn anxiety into results.

I teach to the Cambridge IGCSE Biology and Environmental Management specification, structuring my teaching around its assessment objectives and command words, and guiding students from lower grades toward top marks through targeted revision and past-paper practice. My students have gone on to study at universities around the world, and I have tutored students across Japan, China, Geneva, Jakarta, Milan, Russia, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Dubai.

I have served as an exams officer for Cambridge International Exams, which gives me a thorough understanding of exam administration and marking expectations. I am also well-versed in the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) programme, having worked within individualised, values-based learning environments throughout my career.

My dedication has been recognised with the Best Environmental Management Student of the Year award in South Africa in 2022.

My passion for teaching is matched by a commitment to nurturing each student's confidence and curiosity in the sciences.

I have overall 10+ years of experience teaching various streams, ranging from IGCSE and A level. I teach both Cambridge and Edexcel A level Mathematics. I have thousands of hours of teaching A level and SAT students across the globe with amazing students and parents' feedback. Other than teaching, I use mathematical equations to sketch faces, shapes on geogebra which helps students to relate Math with Art.

Samuel has three masters degrees - MSc Energy and Sustainable Management, MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering and LLM International Business and Commercial Law. Samuel's first degree was in BSc Petrochemical Engineering (First Class). Samuel is also a Qualified Teacher in the UK and has been teaching for over 10 years. Samuel also has several years of examining experience, and hence highly specialised and skilled in tutoring students. Samuel had A in mathematics, A in chemistry, A Biology and A in Physics. Samuel has been an A Level Maths and Further Mathematics Examiner since 2024. I tutor A Level and Further Mathematics as well as Chemistry, Physics and Biology.

Jason is a seasoned humanities subject teacher, teaching across a variety of subjects, including History, Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Law and other humanities subject for different exam boards. Jason was awarded a Second Class Degree in Bachelor of Social Sciences (Government and Laws) and Bachelor of Laws, while I spent most of teaching career in Geography, especially appreciating the dimensions of human geography. Jason aims at building a solid knowledge foundation to be built upon, and equipping students with the exam techniques to be successful. Jason’s sessions are structured, focused, always questioning so that students are prompted to think more and are given the opportunities to articulate themselves, essential skills to be successful in IBDP.

Giles graduated from university with a BSc in Physics and Electronics and later went on to an MA in Education focussing on mathematics and literacy. He worked in electronics and software before moving on to teaching. Now he works mostly as a tutor focussing on inspiring understanding of mathematics at all levels. He have been an examiner for GCE A-level and IAL Maths for 10 years with Pearson Edexcel. Mathematics should be fun, and Giles aims is to inspire interest and understanding of the concepts involved and how they link together. He has a great relationship with his students and gets glowing reviews.

I've been working as an IGCSE and A-level Business and economics tutor for 3 years. I have experience in both Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel boards. I prioritize student-centered learning, placing students’ needs, interests, and goals at the heart of my teaching. By emphasizing inquiry-based learning, I encourage curiosity, exploration, and active participation in the classroom. This approach allows students to develop critical thinking and exam skills while taking ownership of their learning process.
