Mohamed, the founder of The Online Classroom, started of as a secondary school teacher in 1979.
He is passionate about shaping young minds, helping them to excel in their careers. From tackling the most rudimentary mathematics and physics problems, to solving the most complex – Mohamed has always taken a nurturing and mentoring approach to helping his students.
This has paid off. Mohamed has four highly qualified daughters including two engineers, a biomedical scientist and an accountant. As a family, they support others to succeed with them. Their philosophy is to share knowledge and enable others to unlock their own potential.
The team has expanded to like-minded individuals who are passionate about passing on their knowledge.
