A classroom that started with one teacher who would not lower the bar.
GLS Academy grew from a small online tutoring initiative into a structured academy that serves families in the UK, Nigeria, Canada, the US, Australia, the UAE, Finland, Jamaica, and Germany. Two pillars carry all of it: help children learn better, and help teachers teach better.
An experienced educator, online tutor, mentor, and education entrepreneur. He founded the academy to make excellent teaching available to children beyond the walls of the traditional classroom.
One tutor, a handful of families, and live lessons that treated each child as a person, not a timetable slot. Word spread the way it always does with good teaching: parent to parent.
Individual sessions became an organised academic system: qualified tutors, academic monitoring, parent communication, progress reporting, and structured learning plans across 7+ countries.
As the academy grew, it needed tutors trained to teach online. It started a teacher development programme with mentorship, training, practice lessons and ongoing support. Some trainees now hold Microsoft and Google certifications, and some have joined the GLS tutoring team.
Over 150 active tutors teach English, Mathematics, Science, Phonics, 11 Plus, SATs, GCSE, Cambridge Checkpoint, and other curriculum-based programmes. The academy is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
