About Us | PMT Education (2024)

Görkem achieved his BA in Physics from Magdalen College, Oxford University, in 2011 before earning his QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) from King’s College London in 2012. Teaching has long been a passion of his. In his teenage years, he worked as a tennis coach, and in 2010, while still an undergraduate student, he began tutoring students in his spare time. In 2013 while working as a full-time physics and maths tutor, he established the Physics & Maths Tutor website (PMT), which he steadily grew over the next few years, alongside his tutoring career.

These days Görkem primary focuses on running PMT Education rather than tutoring. Outside of his busy work schedule, Görkem enjoys quality wine (when his co-workers can actually lure him from the office) and destressing at the gym each morning before work – a habit he shamelessly flaunts to his colleagues. He recently discovered gymnastics rings and is currently working to make his ‘skin the cat’ look more graceful.

Michelle Wright is a cornerstone of PMT Education. With a BA in English from Queen’s University Belfast, she embarked on her career as a private tutor, specialising in Geography and English. In 2018, Michelle became an integral part of the PMT Education team. Her meticulous attention to detail and exceptional organisational skills have been instrumental in developing the resources available on Physics & Maths Tutor and overseeing the expansion of PMT Courses. She was a key contributor to the creation of our tuition platform. Today, Michelle takes the lead in tutor recruitment and drives the creative vision behind our branding efforts.

In addition to her professional achievements, Michelle is known for her vibrant personality, reflected in her signature pink hair. Her contagious enthusiasm and persuasive nature have made her the go-to person when it comes to rallying her colleagues for a post-work drink, transforming even the most stressful days into lively and memorable evenings. Beyond the realm of education, Michelle has recently embraced wild swimming as her exhilarating new pursuit.

Honor began working for PMT Education while studying at university, initially as a resource creator, before joining us for a summer internship where she was a whiz at resource organisation and development. She became a full-time member of the team shortly after graduating from Loughborough University, where she achieved a first class degree in Mathematics. Honor’s incredible organisation skills mean she’s taken over the role of course organiser from Michelle. In addition to her coordinator role, Honor collaborates with Intan to enhance and develop our revision course resources. She’s also developing her coding skills, enabling her to automate critical processes within the company.

Honor earns bonus points in the office by bringing in her spectacular homemade brownies. While we think they’re worthy of the Great British Bake Off, she has no plans to enter the show anytime soon. And we’re very glad – we’ve become quite possessive of them.

Laura’s journey with PMT Education began during her gap year when she worked as a resource creator. Her creative talents flourished during subsequent summer internships, where she was introduced to Figma, igniting her passion for design. She completed her First-Class degree in Environmental Science from the University of Liverpool and began working for us full-time. Today, Laura is our go-to-expert for all things UI and UX design on our tuition platform and teachers’ area. Beyond her design role, Laura serves as a bridge between our users and developers, actively engaging in customer support to ensure a seamless user experience.

In her spare time, Laura has taken up pottery throwing. While some of her early pieces may raise eyebrows, she is improving and her work now shows potential for beautiful creations in the future.

Molly is the latest addition to PMT Education’s London office, equipped with a first-class degree in Biology from the University of St Andrews. Molly’s journey with us began as a resource creator and summer intern, where she managed various projects, including the development of our digital and media content, resource video creation, and the design of our new STEMM section. In her current role as a Project Manager, Molly oversees our SEO, digital content and media management. Additionally, she crafts our newsletters, informative blog posts, and maintains our social media presence.

Outside of her professional life, Molly is an ecology and conservation enthusiast. She possesses an uncanny knowledge of snake dining habits that will make your jaw drop faster than a cobra strikes its prey! Molly’s other interests include travelling and photography. She’s always ready to explore new destinations and capture their beauty through her lens.

Intan started working with PMT Education as a resource creator while pursuing her MPharm at UCL. Her dedication became evident during her internships over several summers, where her knack for creating course handouts shone through. Today, Intan works closely with Honor to develop the handouts for our revision courses. Additionally, she takes charge of organising and uploading our exam technique revision videos.

Outside of her work, Intan has a passion for sports, particularly Netball and Badminton. She was an active member of the UCL Malaysian Netball Society and enjoys playing badminton every weekend. Adding to her busy life, she’s a devoted mum to three cats, Joey, Mochi, and Kiki. Though she contemplates expanding her furry family, her current commitments keep her on her toes, especially at night when her feline friends demand midnight snacks.

The newest member of the team, Liam’s eagle-eyed attention to detail has made him perfect for the role of admin assistant. Before joining us, he spent four years as a maths tutor and administrator at a tuition centre in London. Alongside teaching groups of students, he gained a lot of experience there organising and invigilating exams for private candidates – an area he’s an expert in now. At PMT, Liam’s role encompasses resource maintenance, page updates, preparation of resources for our new resource shop, and handling resource-related correspondence.

When he’s not keeping PMT Education’s Google Drive folders in immaculate order, Liam likes to flex his table tennis skills – even taking on the boss man himself during lunchtime tournaments. He’s partial to a Macchiato and, when not in the office in close proximity to the WeWork barista, can be found honing his coffee making skills in his kitchen. Liam is also a sage for niche tech knowledge: if you want to know why OLED screens are better in night mode, he’s your man.
