According to the article:

Anne-Marie Imafidon's family are known in England as “The First Family of Education.” and she has been described as a “serial world record breaker.”

Here is her hitlist:
Age 10 - passed 2 GCSE's in Maths and I.T.
Age 11 - became youngest Brit to pass a Computing A-Level
Age 12 - received an Oxford Scholarship
Age 13 - in 2003, obtained scholarship to study Maths at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Age 13 - she studied Mathematics at Oxford University in 2005
Age 14 -  received offers from top universities to study Masters degrees in Computational Maths
Age 15 - received offer to attend the University of Oxford
Age 16 -  was hounded with job offers from Wall Street and London financial institutions and World Leading Blue Chip companies
Age 17 - started her Masters degree!
Age 19 - in 2010, became the youngest ever to receive a Combined Masters Degree in Maths and Computer Science from Oxford University.

Background
Her heritiage is Edo, Nigerian. Her parents Anne and Chris Imafidon were immigrants to the UK.
Anne-Marie was not a grammar school/private school student! She attended state schools in relatively average (or to some poor) inner city schools in London’s Enfield and Waltham Forest areas. Her parents have not homeschooled her either as neither are maths experts.

Her famous quote: “Education is such an important part of young people’s lives and I want to get the message out to the youth that learning is such a vital element in their growth. I also want them to understand that mathematics is essentially a game of numbers.”

If you think thats impressive check her siblings:
The Wonder Twins
Peter and Paula broke world records by passing A Level maths at age 7.
A year later they passed the University of Cambridge’s Advanced Mathematics test and thus become the youngest Brits to enter high school.

They too attended state schools  and the key to their success is private tuition/supplemental lessons.

Christina the 17 Year Old
At age 11 she became the youngest student to be accepted to university.

Samantha the 12 Year Old
At age 6 passed two GCSE level Maths and Statistics exams.
At age 9 became the youngest secondary school entrant.
She was the twins mentor and tutor when they were 6! How's that for economy?

The Father

“Every child is a genius...once you identify the talent of a child and put them in an environment that will nurture that talent, then the sky is the limit. Look at Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters, they were nurtured. You can never rule anything out with our children.”

So there you have it, paying for a private school would be great but would not guarantee excellence. Have you thought of extra tuition?  Saturday schools like DegreeAngel Tuition go for on average £55 per month/£660 per annum as opposed to £20,000+ per annum of private secondary schools.

Ask friends for recommended tuition schools.
My agency www.degreeangel.co.uk can show you your nearest DegreeAngel tuition centres also specialising in maths and science.
