Verified client reviews
"My eldest daughter recently got an offer to the London School of Economics (and 2 other UK offers). The support and guidance from the LearnFire team was invaluable, especially as we had no prior experience applying to study abroad. We are especially thankful for the great academic support from Mrs Brown, Dr Wartenberg and the team in helping our daughter. I am a very proud parent and can highly recommend LearnFire for the professional and wonderful efforts received."

Dr. Reece Wartenberg (Founder)
The world is changing rapidly yet the learning environment for teenagers remains largely stagnant. The old status quo of education needs transforming.
This necessity prompted Dr. Reece Wartenberg to challenge traditional education by founding LearnFire in 2020. What initially began as personalised academic coaching delivered by specialist educators has evolved into the global learning platform LearnFire Premium Coaching. LearnFire now specialises in two core areas of business: one-on-one coaching and the recently introduced unlimited online learning. Both of these modes of education insure that students are matched with highly specialised educators so that high-impact lessons are delivered live and in real time.
Reece has had extensive experience as a teacher, department head, and head of pastoral care at international schools that deliver the IGCSE, IB, and A-levels curricula. He has taught students from over 60 countries while working at top international schools and universities in Spain, Thailand, South Africa, Hong Kong and Portugal.
Reece is deeply passionate about going beyond the classroom to accelerate learning and give students the skills they need to excel in their studies. By leveraging the latest in online education technology, Reece has proven that experienced teachers can push the boundaries of education so that students from wide range of ability are all progressing together.

Each teacher has been handpicked from top-tier international schools globally. Drawing from their extensive academic backgrounds and real-world experience, our teachers bring a wealth of knowledge to the virtual classroom, offering students a unique opportunity to learn from the best in the field.

All our LearnFire educators are subject specialists with many years of classroom and private academic coaching experience.
All educators are well-versed in the latest education technology so that they can use tech to enhance their online lessons but have deep rooted educational knowledge so that they do not need to rely on the tech to make sure that each of our students is progressing smoothly.
