As well as being first class teachers, mentors and leaders, our faculty also consists of a number of published authors and co-authors of IB textbooks.
We are privileged to have these experts at ISL, who provide the highest quality education and thought-leadership.
Kahina is the co-author for the Biology content of the Hodder MYP by Concept 4&5 Sciences as well as the author of the accompanying online material. This is the first published curriculum work by Kahina since she joined ISL and the IB education system 4 years ago. Kahina has previously published many scientific papers in her fields of work during her previous years as a scientist at the universities of Manchester and Cambridge for 15 years.
Luigi is a Senior Examiner for CUPA (Cambridge University Press and Assessment) and is the Principal Examiner for A-Level Further Mathematics (Mechanics) and A-Level Portfolio of Evidence. He is a trainer for Cambridge A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics, having delivered training in China, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. He also writes exam papers for CUPA: Cambridge A-Level Further Mathematics (Mechanics), Cambridge IGCSE (Investigation and Modelling) and New South Wales Opportunity Class and Selective High School Placement Tests.
Radia is a co-author of the MYP by Concept 4&5 Sciences (published June 2018). Radia worked with fellow ISL Science Teacher, El Kahina Meziane, on the Biology content of the book and participated in the design of its units that integrated concepts from Physics, Biology and Chemistry under the carefully selected global contexts. Each chapter of the book is a complete unit with formative and summative assessments linked to ATL skills and authentic “take action” projects/activities to encourage service-learning.
Zack leads the Multilingualism programme at ISL London, where, in collaboration with parents, students and his team, he has developed a fully integrated curriculum across all languages since joining in 2023. With over a decade of experience in language education, he has taught French and Spanish in London’s independent and state sectors and worked as a business English trainer in Paris, supporting major international companies.
A speaker of five languages and currently studying for an MBA in Educational Leadership, Zack also serves as a Languages Credible Specialist for Pearson, designing and delivering training programmes across the south-east of England. He is dedicated to maintaining high standards, fostering innovation, and creating a culture of excellence that empowers every student to succeed.
Over the years our staff have inspired and supported hundreds of students in their journey from early years to university.
