Our Team | Turing Education

Turing Education takes pride in its team. We currently have 8 mentors; who are from 7+ nationalities, all STEM graduates, and most importantly have teaching backgrounds!

We have a cumulative of 10+ years experience in STEM education.

Aakash Arora | Founder & CEO

Aakash has a degree in Robotics Engineering from Queen Mary University of London. While in university, he worked part-time with multiple STEM education companies. His role included mentoring, teaching, and developing curriculum in python, microbit, lego robotics, C, and more. He won a QEnterprise fund at Queen Mary's hackathon along with an offer to join renowned incubator OneTech. He is also a national robotics olympiad winner and was invited to attend the global conference of educational robotics.

"During my stint at these companies, along with my experience in private tutoring - I saw major gaps; lack of industry-related learning outcomes, shortfall of student engagement, and no intersubjectivity. I believe any education, STEM or not, should be interdisciplinary - and should attract children's interest much like games do. At Turing education, we streamline technologies and softwares used in university and industry to a younger age, enabling them to receive life-long learning outcomes with every lesson. Also, where else on earth can you learn latin, computer science, and music production? And still align it with national curriculum? Nowhere else!"

Omar Mostafa | Mentor | Music Lead

Omar studied Computer Science at Queen Mary. He too, has worked part-time for a STEM education company along with HSBC. He is an independent production artist, with popular releases on sound cloud. He learnt music production from scratch, and he has developed an immersive curriculum ranging from garage band to industry-grade Logic Pro X which will have students producing in no time. You can check out his music at https://soundcloud.com/user669387413.

Moazam Khalid | Mentor | Game Development Lead

Moazam who likes to be called "MK", studied Computer Science at Queen Mary. He has a broad range of experience in the education sector, teaching children for 2+ years along with the neurodiverse. MK has worked in various freelance capacities; deploying websites and contributing to programming libraries. He has taught game development via UNITY to children as little as eight, while incorporating mathematics and physics.

In India, we use the word "Jugaad" for developing solutions with limited resources - well have a look at his portfolio and it will speak for itself! https://www.instagram.com/el4louani/?hl=en. Everything on here was taken by an iPhone or android - probably nothing better than the one you are currently using.

Faizal Makda | Mentor | Engineering Lead

Faizal is an Aerospace Engineer by trait, and has worked as a systems engineer in the industry. He has simplified popular platforms like CAD and Matlab for children, and created an approach that focuses on rapid prototyping. He has implemented his invaluable skills from the industry into courses, and truly believes engineering can be taught in a fun manner to any age group.

Ahmad Qadi | Mentor | Financial Technology Lead

Ahmad is a computer science graduate who has worked in the banking industry, and is interested in the realm of financial technology (fin-tech). He has utilised big data for the benefit of the finance industry, and believes this approach can be used to teach both business and computer science hand in hand. He won't bother teaching you boring old excel, rather you can develop a banking app for your pocket money with him every step of the way!

Fadi Katerji | Mentor | Artificial Intelligence Lead

Fadi, as we like to say - is a robotics genius. He has worked at Queen Mary's advanced robotics lab under world renowned professors. His projects include developing an arm for a robotics wheelchair, along with creating an IOT device to teach robotics at all ages. He has experience in python, raspberry pi, and Arduino. He too, much like all our mentors, has worked for a STEM education company in the past.
