About us

Simon Education

For over 35 years, Simon Education has been a leader in supplementary education across England, supporting over 14,000 students with a focus on Maths, English, and Science. Our online tuition, educational books, and specialised courses empower students from primary to secondary school. We also deliver successful training programs in Africa and the Caribbean, making a positive impact globally.

David Simon, the co-founder, is the creator of the widely acclaimed Child Genius book series, designed to challenge and inspire young learners. These books have become essential resources for parents and educators, fostering critical thinking and academic excellence.

One of our key offerings is our specialised Black History courses, which explore the contributions of Black individuals in both English and global history. These courses go beyond traditional narratives, covering ancient African civilisations, Black British figures, and cultural movements. They foster a deeper understanding of Black history and identity, encouraging participants to develop a more inclusive and balanced view of the world.

Our educational books, including the Child Genius series, are integral to our teaching philosophy, helping students excel academically at all levels. With a commitment to transforming lives through education, Simon Education continues to inspire the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.
