My name is Masha Apostolidu and I am a qualified maths teacher in a large college in South London. Prior to joining this college I taught maths in primary and secondary schools in London and internationally.

Before entering the teaching world, I worked with children with severe physical and learning disabilities in orphanages and communities in Central Asia. My degree is in Management and I retrained to become a teacher as I wanted to make maths fun and creative for the learners. I know how important maths is for being successful in every area of work and life!

I am currently studying a MSc in Psychology and I research mathematics anxiety and mental health in maths education. I am passionate about making our maths classrooms safe and positive spaces for all learners.
