“Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.” B. F. Skinner
Founders
Our company is driven by the belief that education should be accessible to everyone and that it must inspire and prepare young people for a life of unlimited possibilities. Unfortunately, many students are left feeling demoralised and disengaged by formal education, which is tragic but entirely preventable. We are dedicated to developing tools that can solve this problem and empower students to achieve their true potential.
Our founding team includes three individuals who bring unique perspectives and experiences to our mission. Luke Deering, began his career at the AI-driven data processing firm Panjiva in the US before establishing edtech company VineUp in the UK. VineUp's web application facilitated mentorship and career development opportunities by connecting students with successful alumni. Following the business's acquisition in 2018, Luke began working on Curriculum.com.
Yasmin Sarwar, founded Cardiff Sixth Form College (CSFC) in 2008. CSFC first topped the UK A-level league tables in 2010, maintaining that position for nine consecutive years. In 2017, Yasmin joined Dr. Mario Peters at Oxford International College (OIC), leading OIC to claim the UK's #1 A-level ranking in 2019. Over the past decade, Yasmin has helped over 900 students gain admission to medical schools and G5 universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, and Imperial. Yasmin oversees Curriculum.com's pedagogy and partnership development activities.
Dr. Mario Peters, earned his Doctorate in Space Technology from the University of Oxford. With 25 years of experience, Mario has founded seven education companies, including OIC, which operates six schools across China, Hong Kong, and Switzerland. In 2019, Mario sold the top-ranked OIC to the Nord Anglia Education Group.
United by our diverse expertise, our founding team is dedicated to revolutionising education by developing cutting-edge tools that transform the way students engage with learning.
