ABOUT US
Our Story
We, Imaan and Victoria, graduated together from Cambridge University in 2017, after ten years of friendship that began as schoolmates. We have both always been curious, ambitious and academic individuals, so creating a tutoring platform to share this has been a goal of ours for some time. The Covid-19 pandemic motivated us to turn this into a reality, as we reflected on the importance of flawless digital education and observed the possible shortcomings of schools in achieving this.
Why Compass Tutors?
We co-founded Compass Tutors as a response to the current educational climate. This new physical distance students have from their teachers can risk stagnant lessons, dry interactions and a loss of motivation. However, through rigorous research and practice, Compass Tutors have developed training to support tutors in providing flexible, interactive and stimulating lessons. Virtual learning can be just as fun and successful as a classroom environment!

As a teacher at a leading Girls' Secondary School, and having undergone a Masters in Education, my expertise and love for academia are clear. Training as an expert in digital learning has made me realise the importance of adapting techniques to still bring out the best in students. I am confident we at Compass Tutors offer exactly that.
