Hi Ayesha,

Many thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.

We also have a similar case in UK where an 8 year old, Zoihab Ahmed, was the youngest to score A* grades at A level maths. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7941327.stm
and

Alongside his brother, they became the youngest kids to get A* grades at A level maths . See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1164614/Britains-cleverest-family-They-got-maths-A-levels-primary-school--thanks-hours-study-night-75p-Dad.html. (Note, this reporter appears biased against early learning, so read with discernment).

And the parents keep insisting that it was not due to genes, but diligence and interest.
Watch an interview AND read the testimonial from the boys’ parents at http://www.channel4.com/programmes/child-genius/articles/video-interview-with-wajih-and-zohaibs-parents. INSPIRING!
