About the founder & core instructor

Hi! I’m Samara Mahmood

What institutions am I apart of and what can I offer?

I am a university student at King's College London, studying Artificial Intelligence and Philosophy BSC. 

I am a part of the King’s College Entrepreneurship Institute  

I am also a member of the London Finance and Business Union, King's College Law Society, and a staff writer for ROAR News.

All of this means I have access to a network of entrepreneurs, some of the finest names in business, world class facilities, and a pool of top students to support your child’s experience!

I am 19 years old. The fact that I am so young - unlike most other instructors, means I connect with kids on a relatable level:

I am energetic. I understand them – what they watch, their jokes, what they care about. I use that to keep them engaged, not bored.

But I raise the bar: I treat them like adults, expect real work, and show them how TikToks, games and hobbies can become real business ideas.

I know my target audience like the back of my hand!

My age matters

Teaching Experience 

I have been tutoring literature and public speaking in LAMDA for 3 years, after achieving a Gold Award at 16.  

LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) is a "world-leading conservatoire" and examinations provider, "offering world-renowned qualifications in communication and performance" 

I have been working with various groups of kids 7 - 10 over the years, all with different learning styles and personalities. My students have all achieved consistently excellent results.

My students have never achieved below a DISTINCTION (80%) in my 3 years of teaching
