CedarNova

Our instructors

Everyone who teaches at CedarNova is interviewed, reference-checked and observed teaching a real class before they are assigned a cohort. We hire people who can explain something twice, differently, without sighing.

Lea Mansour

Software developer and Scratch specialist

Lea builds web applications by day and has taught introductory coding to children for five years. She is unreasonably good at spotting the exact moment a child stops following, and stopping to fix it.

Omar Fares

Robotics engineer turned teacher

Omar spent six years building industrial control systems before deciding he would rather teach a nine-year-old why a sensor reading is noisy. He runs the robotics track and insists that every child gets their hands on the code within the first ten minutes of a session.

Rana taught secondary physics and mathematics in Lebanese schools for a decade before joining CedarNova. She has marked Bac II papers, which shapes how she teaches: students learn what earns marks and what quietly loses them.
