Yasha Asley

Yasha Asley (born 14 June 2003) is a British mathematics child prodigy.

Asley attended his local state run comprehensive school, since he was four years old,and took class with his peers. Raised solely by his father, Asley sat his first of six modules of Advanced-Level mathematics exams when he was seven years old and scored grade A. At eight years of age, he was the youngest person in the world to have achieved grade A at Advanced-level Mathematics, scoring 100% and 99% in two of the six papers.

For three years prior starting his university education his full-time schooling was split, three days a week at primary school and two days a week he learned mathematics with Professor Alexander Gorban at the University of Leicester.

While attending comprehensive school Asley passed the A-level exams and became the youngest person to have achieved the 'A' grade in Mathematics at the age of 8 in 2011, surpassing a record previously held by March Tian Boedihardjo.

Although he had met UK university entrance requirements by scoring top grades and was in a position to apply to UK universities, he wanted to continue in the standard education system.In an ITV interview, 24 July 2018, Yasha said, "... It wasn't our first choice [to go to university]. But then it seemed like the head teacher had told my teachers to slow me down... So we decided that I really had no choice [other than to go to university]."

Asley ran tutorials at the University of Leicester when he was 13 years old.
