It started with a vision to make learning simple for all students
In his job as a secondary school teacher, David Cameron (not the one responsible for Brexit) had seen many of his own students struggling. After receiving a poem, “Roses are red, Violets are blue, Dear Mr. Cameron, I don’t know what to do,” Dave decided to do something about it. LearnCoach was born. LearnCoach grew from helping 150 students after its launch in 2012, to helping over 150,000 students every year. That’s 80% of the entire NCEA population and a hell of a lot of Lynx Africa.

Meet our team
Dave - Founder & CEO
Dave may look really important, but he’s not. He’s just like you and me: incredibly handsome, whip smart and the 2018 Young New Zealander of the Year.
Mark - Co-Founder & CTO
Mark is responsible for being Dave’s brother. Mark is actually the older of the two, so we think he’ll be really annoyed we pointed that out right now.
Ollie - Operations Manager
Ollie is responsible for signing people up to Christchurch gym memberships. Which is really inconvenient for the rest of the team, who are based in Auckland and Dunedin.
Laura - Education & Marketing Manager
Laura is based in tropical Dunedin. She spends far too much time watching trashy TV shows and dreaming of a better life in the superior North Island.
Claire - Education & Systems Manager
Claire is responsible for getting way too excited about Escape Rooms. For those that don’t know what an Escape Room is, don’t ask Claire. Please, for the love of God.
Nick - Web Developer
At LearnCoach, Nick is responsible for going the longest amount of time without a haircut. The only thing he hates more than a pair of clippers is a second pair of clippers.
Ben - Front End Developer
Ben is responsible for wearing shirts that have more personality than he does. It’s a lot for the shirts to live up to.
Matthew - Community & Engagement Manager
Matthew is responsible for being the youngest in the company. He’s wise beyond his years, with the cataracts to match.
Dean - Comedy Writer
Dean is responsible for refusing to have his photo taken against a brick backdrop. Instead of saying ‘cheese’, Dean says ‘can we do something about the backdrop?'
