Year 7 – Year 8
Gregory Anthony
Year 7 GA
Anthony hails from Penang, Malaysia. Initially trained in various disciplines, including accounting and finance, he worked in an established company as a financial analyst before discovering his true passion—education, particularly in teaching science and mathematics.
He began his teaching career in 2009, in an International School, as a mathematics and science teacher—the very subjects that once made him look forward to going to school. Shortly after embarking on this new journey, he pursued formal teaching qualifications, completing the esteemed Cambridge International Diploma in Teaching and Training (CIDTT), followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching (PGDT).
Now with 16 years of teaching experience, Anthony has never looked back. He continues to teach science with unwavering dedication and passion.
Ryan Ganose
Year 7 RG
Ryan is originally from Manchester, in the United Kingdom. He gained his degree in English Literature at Loughborough University before competing the Teach First leadership programme, a charity that aims to end educational inequality. Ryan comes from a long line of educators, having inherited his desire to teach from his mother and grandmother.
After a four years of teaching in Oldham, Ryan’s love of travel has led him to Penang, where he hopes to continue to empower students through literature.
In his spare time, Ryan enjoys running, hiking, climbing and cooking dishes from a variety of cultures.

Theo Hurford
Year 8 TH
Theo is from London in the United Kingdom, and having grown up there moved to North East of England to study at Durham University. After graduating with a BA in Classics, Theo joined the Teach First programme where he trained as a maths teacher, and he has since taught at secondary level for five years in schools in Hartlepool and Teesside. Outside the classroom, Theo is an enthusiastic runner, a keen trombone player, and a fan of number based puzzles (particularly killer sudokus). With a variety of teaching experiences and schools under his belt, Theo is excited to be starting a new challenge in a different country – and can’t wait to spread enthusiasm for maths and problem solving in Penang!
