At Avicenna, our goal for our students goes beyond short-term success in a particular subject or exam. We aim to imbue the young people we teach with a mature approach towards learning, a rigorous academic toolkit and the confidence to embrace and enjoy every milestone in their education.
Born in Iran but brought to London at the age of two, there was always a strong emphasis on the importance of education within my family. Brought up across two cultures, two languages and two countries, doing well at school was always an anchor for me, where the joy of learning something interesting and becoming adept at the skills I was being taught helped me to make sense of my divergent worlds. This inner strength and stability that come from learning well and the confidence that comes with intelligence is something I want all children to have. I won a scholarship to attend St Paul's Girls' Schools at sixth form and went on to read Mathematics at Edinburgh University. I studied creative writing for a year after graduating to explore my passion for poetry.
A father of three, I grew up in London, attending Westminster Under School and later St. Paul's School on an academic scholarship. I hold a B.Sc. in Economics and M.Sc. in Finance. During my 15-year career in financial markets as a trader and portfolio manager, I maintained a keen interest in education, mentoring younger colleagues and regularly conducting seminars for clients and colleagues on financial mathematics and economics. I am a great believer in differentiation and understand that each child learns in a unique way. I employ varied and personalised teaching styles to cater to each individual pupil, whether they thrive in structured or unstructured environments, prefer deductive or inductive learning methods or feel more comfortable with abstract concepts or real-world contexts.
