Senior Leaders

Costa Costantinou

Costa Constantinou co-founded Veema in 2013 after a long teaching career in London. He is driven by his passionate belief in the transformative power of education to create opportunities. Growing up in a migrant family, Costa embraced the significance of schooling from an early age. Having been deprived of education, his parents instilled a deep appreciation for learning.

Costa understands firsthand the needs and priorities of schools today. He has led national and international keynotes and workshops on improving teaching and learning, school leadership, and implementing and managing effective change. Costa passionately advocates that professional development is a requisite tool for teachers to engage with pedagogy, offer collaborative working partnerships, challenge and advance existing practice. Taken together, these sharpen our ability to focus on how we teach and how pupils learn — a reflective approach that, at its core, sees learning through the eyes of the learner.

Veema’s professional development and school improvement programmes empower teachers and school leaders worldwide, fostering continuous learning for the benefit of their students.
