Ghaith Al Kanawati

Lead Instructor

Ghaith believes math is about more than just getting the right answer; it’s about encouraging curiosity, building confidence, and helping students see the logic behind the numbers. His approach is calm, clear, and focused on guiding each student toward deeper understanding. He enjoys solving puzzles and challenging questions, and brings that same problem-solving spirit into the classroom.


Originally from Syria, Ghaith studied civil engineering and discovered his passion for teaching back when he was still a student himself, helping friends work through tricky topics and exam prep. That early experience sparked a lasting love for making ideas click, and he’s been sharing that passion ever since.

Originally from Sri Lanka, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computing, a Master of Science in Applied Statistics from the University of Peradeniya, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, and a Master of Education from Lincoln University.


For Theekshana, math isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about learning to think in new and meaningful ways. She finds joy in those moments when a concept finally clicks for a student and strives to make every lesson a step toward that breakthrough.
