London. At an age when most teenagers are involved in sports and fun, a student has taken the heavy task of teaching other students on his fragile shoulders. This 17-year-old youth started teaching children aged 10 to 13 at the age of just 16. Edwin Zhukovs, a resident of Boston in Lincolnshire, UK, is the youngest teacher in the UK. Zhukovs spends his free time teaching in local schools. Currently, he teaches children in most schools for free. According to the rules of Britain, he cannot officially obtain teacher training qualifications until the age of 18.
Edwin Zhukovs is therefore currently teaching a few hours a day in schools for free and collecting students’ reports, which will later count towards his diploma. He teaches about three hours a week in schools. Currently, the teenager also gets paid for four hours a week as a private tutor, teaching math and English to other teenagers.
Edwin Zhukovs is doing all this alongside his own studies in English, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, Russian, German, history, business, geography and RE. He says his aim is to inspire other young people and show them that they can make decisions in their teens that positively impact their future.

Edwin said: ‘It is a lot of work. I have a very tight schedule. There is a lot to balance. There is a lot of work like preparing reports and marking, but it is all manageable. I am working as a part-time teacher for two hours a week to fit in with my school schedule. It is beneficial for my own education – the work you do now has value in the future. Even if you are young, if you believe, you can achieve something. I use the motivational quotes from my book in lessons and assemblies.’
