Tasungurwa Mhuruyengwe
Head of Centre & Co-Founder
My name is Tasu, & I am a passionate educator whose journey in teaching began during my high school years when I was appointed as a relief science teacher in recognition of my exceptional A-Level results and evident love for science. This early exposure sparked a lifelong commitment to education. In 2006, I formally qualified as a teacher and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. My interest in strategy, leadership and educational development later led me to pursue a Master of Public Management. Currently, Tasu is a Doctoral candidate, with a research focused on developing an academic entrepreneurial confluence—an innovative intersection of education and entrepreneurship aimed at transforming the future of learning institutions.

As a young and dedicated teacher, I bring energy and enthusiasm into every lesson. I am passionate about helping learners see the connections between Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences, and I aim to make each subject both meaningful and engaging. I believe that every child has the ability to succeed when given the right guidance, encouragement, and opportunities.

I am passionate about creativity, innovation, and problem-solving, and I enjoy guiding learners to explore these through Art & Design, Computing, and Design & Technology. My teaching approach blends imagination with practical skills, encouraging students to think critically while expressing their individuality. I believe education should equip learners not only with knowledge, but also with the confidence to create, experiment, and adapt in a fast-changing world. Seeing students bring their ideas to life is the most rewarding part of my work.
