In one year, he lost four people he loved. He didn't give up.

A boy who loved maths

Moseli grew up in Lesotho. Maths was his subject from early on: the one place where effort always led to an answer.

The year everything fell apart

In a single year, he lost his mother and his grandmother, on consecutive days. Then his younger sister. Then his father.

He was still a young university student. While grieving, he became the parent at home, raising his younger brothers and sisters.

Whatever it took

There was no one to send money. So he did what he had to. He sold oranges. He switched his degree at Wits from actuarial science to Mathematics and Computer Science.

And he found that the thing he was best at, explaining maths, could carry his family. He paid for his whole degree by tutoring.

Families started to notice

He bought his first car with money from tutoring. One family, the Jacobs, saw their children's results change so much that they gave him a BMW 3 Series.

Axiom is born

At Wits, one student tutoring to survive became Axiom Private Tutoring: a team of university-qualified tutors, Grade 1 to university, across Gauteng and online.

Out of loss came a mission: a system where no learner feels powerless, and where confidence and accountability unlock what a child can do.

Every Axiom tutor is held to the standard he set for himself. Turn up. Be patient. Never give up on a child.
