Zaheer Khatri founded Learning Roots in the winter of 2004 and have been at the helm of the company ever since (hence the title 'Captain'!). He have steered Learning Roots to an established position in their publishing niche with international acclaim and reach in over 30 countries. He have also had the pleasure of personally authoring some of our bestselling children's storybooks.

Prior to Learning Roots, He was a Mathematics Teacher at a Secondary School in London and a Special Project Coordinator at an FE College before that. He also served as a Head Master at a private primary school along the way!

He is a graduate of the London School of Economics, with a major in Maths and Economics. He followed that with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education which started his career in education. Zaheer then completed a Masters in Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment which gave him a thorough grounding in the field of Education.

Zaheer is currently living in London with his wife and four children. When he is not keeping busy with running, reading or writing, you might just find Zaheer on nature trails up craggy mountains.
