The Story of Ilia Sade

The story of Wimbledon Tuition began in the purple prefect gown at Whitgift, when a parent first asked Ilia to tutor their son. What started as a single act of mentorship grew alongside Ilia’s own academic journey through UCL and into building multiple successful ventures, now pursuing a Master’s at Oxford University.
