Simon Kirsima (He/Him)

Simon is an experienced Primary teacher and senior leader, joining Tutor Trust in August 2022 to continue his passion to enhance the educational opportunities of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

After completing his teacher training, Simon took a teaching role in a Leeds school facing some of largest barriers to learning in the country. He stayed in this position for eight years, developed as Head of Maths and went on to join the school senior leadership team. This gave him valuable experience helping pupils and schools within the Trust to close the attainment gap and improve progress for the most disadvantaged pupils.

He further developed as an educational leader through completing the Teaching Leaders fellow programme for talented educational leaders. Simon is excited to be a part of the Tutor Trust team and is determined to use his skills to help young people overcome barriers to learning and reach their maximum potential.
