8-year-old EIE Student mentored at Olympic Venue invited for scholarships at Top Schools

July 27, 2012 - PRLog -- LONDON, UK –The record breaking achievements of 8-year-old Sarah Nwisi who was mentored by one half of the Multi-talented Imafidon Twins, Paula Imafidon, at EIE's Stratford Venue has received multiple invitations to the highest-performing schools in the UK. The EIE Venue in Stratford (http://www.excellenceineducation.org.uk) is being used for the Olympics and usual Saturday Sessions had to end earlier than normal due to make way for the athletes.  

Following writing GCSE Mathematics earlier this year with students almost double her age, she has been invited to top Schools from Essex, Buckinghamshire and unlike almost every other student her age, she will be on course to go to secondary school at the age of nine almost equalling the records set by the Cerebral World-Record Breaking Imafidon family.

Such achievements are not strange to Sarah as earlier this year her elder brother, 10-year-old Israel Nwisi, who passed GCSE Maths when he was just six years old, received multiple scholarships to top schools it was revealed on National Offer Day. Sarah, who was mentored by one-half of the Wonder twins, Paula Imafidon who herself along with brother Peter the youngest twins ever to attend secondary school in the World, was keen to surpass her mentor’s achievements.  

According to Sarah “I was excited when I read that Paula Imafidon wrote the  same exam at 6 after playing number games from the book called Mathematics Manual. My Dad bought us the book, I heard the book is for gifted children also got help by attending extra classes every other weekend at Excellence in Education.  My brother did the same test at 6. Then, why not me? Peter and Paula are the champions at playing the Maths games.

The Imafidon twins passed the tough advanced college-level Mathematics papers at the tender age of seven along side candidates who were over two times older. Last year, their eldest sister, Anne-Marie, became the youngest ever Computer and Mathematics Masters degree graduate from Oxford University (http://www.imafidons.com).
