Our story

We started because one size never fit all.

Carpe Diem Education Services was founded by tutors and parents who saw bright children shrink in classrooms that couldn't adapt to them. We built a different kind of support — warm, personal, and centred on the learner.

Years of experience

Our team brings together qualified teachers, learning specialists, and homeschool mentors with decades of combined classroom and one-to-one experience.

Friendly & interactive

We believe the best learning happens when a child feels safe to ask, explore, and even get things wrong. Every session is a conversation, not a lecture.

Learner-centred

No two programmes are identical. We design around your child's interests, strengths, and the goals that matter to your family.

Andrew Banda

Andrew Banda leads Carpe Diem Education Services with a deep passion for teaching and a belief that every child can thrive when learning is personal. He is an exceptional teacher who has spent his career helping students grow in confidence, curiosity, and character.

Under his guidance, Carpe Diem has become a warm, learner-centred space where children who felt out of place elsewhere finally feel understood — and where families find a true partner in education.

“I believe that every learner has the potential to achieve greatness with the right support. I am a firm believer in true education that equips a child for life.”

Tozeyana Chomba

Tozeyana Chomba is an excellent teacher whose philosophy is simple: nothing is impossible. To him, that means no learner can fail — every child has their own way of understanding, and the role of the teacher is to unlock what once seemed impossible and make it feel easy.

As CEO, he shapes the heart of Carpe Diem's approach: patient, personalised teaching that meets each learner where they are and builds confidence that lasts.
