AtoZ Educational Services was founded in 2010 under unexpected circumstances during my final year of a Master’s Degree in Business Management. A close friend, whose family had recently moved from France to the UK, asked for assistance in English and Maths. Her children, whose first language was French, were struggling with adapting to a new language and school environment. She sought help with the 11+ Examination and additional tuition.

Initially, I was hesitant to accept this request, as I was deeply focused on completing my Master’s degree and did not initially consider this as my area of expertise. However, my friend’s continued persistence eventually led me to agree to support her children in their 11+ preparation, marking the beginning of AtoZ Educational Services. That experience proved to be a turning point for me. I quickly discovered a natural aptitude for teaching, and the fulfilment I found in working with young children drew me deeply into the profession.

This newfound passion was further validated when both of my friend’s children successfully secured places in grammar schools. From that moment, the path forward became clear. What began as an unexpected journey has evolved into our mission: to provide exceptional educational support and guidance to children. The rest, as they say, is history.

I would like to dedicate this section to my wonderful father, a man whose unwavering dedication, resilience, and integrity have shaped me into the person I am today. He has been more than just a parent—he has been my greatest mentor, my unwavering supporter, and my ultimate role model. Coming from a humble background, my father instilled in me the core values of hard work, perseverance, and honesty. He taught me that success is not measured by wealth alone but by the trust and respect earned from those around us. One of the most valuable lessons he imparted was the importance of being honest and transparent with customers and parents, a principle that has been at the heart of AtoZ’s mission since its inception.

His professional journey is nothing short of extraordinary. My father was a highly respected member of DSI Samsons Group, Sri Lanka’s largest family-owned conglomerate. The company dominates 15 sectors across 32 companies and employs over 10,000 people. His career at DSI spanned over six decades, where he had the rare privilege of working alongside the late Mr. D. S. Rajapaksa JP, the esteemed founder of DSI. From the very beginning of the company in 1961 until he passed away in 2024 my father remained a steadfast pillar of the organisation, marking 63 years of remarkable service. His dedication and work ethic earned him great respect and admiration, making him an inspiration to many.

Without my father’s unwavering support, encouragement, and invaluable wisdom, AtoZ Educational Services would not be where it is today. Every success we have achieved, every milestone we have reached, and every life we have positively impacted is dedicated to him. His principles continue to guide me, reminding me that true success is built on integrity, commitment, and the desire to make a meaningful difference.

His legacy lives on, not just in my heart, but in the foundation of AtoZ, and I will always be eternally grateful for everything he has done.
