The team

Real teachers, known by name

Every Cedarlane mentor is interviewed twice, trained in our method, and teaches only the subjects they specialise in.

Mathematics

Maya Chen

Ex-classroom math teacher with nine years’ experience and a soft spot for ‘I can’t do math’ cases. Maya spots gaps quickly, fixes them patiently, and cheers every breakthrough loudly.

Science

David Okafor

Science graduate who thinks every idea earns a hands-on demo. David’s kitchen-table experiments turn tricky concepts into stories learners repeat at dinner.

  • BSc Chemistry, 6 years tutoring all three sciences
  • Leads the Science program

A guide for hesitant readers. Sarah finds the one short story that clicks, then steadily turns learners into confident writers with careful feedback on every draft.

  • Leads the English program
Coding

Alex Rivera

Software builder turned teacher. Alex gets learners building playable games from the very first lesson, so new syntax sinks in while they’re busy having fun.
