New General Manager

We had a very strong academic year thanks to Lena Pieper, who contributed immensely towards improving our quality of teaching and our overall expansion. She has since decided to pursue her academic endeavor by starting her PhD at UM. The entire team wishes her all the best, in her pursuit of all future milestones. This year, a familiar face is taking charge of this educational ship! Welcome our new Captain and General Manager – Adrian Paasch. He is our highest-rated tutor since the establishment of Success Formula, and we are honored to have him on board! Looking forward to many great experiences, and a lot more exciting announcements to come!

Largest team size since founding

Our team has been growing rapidly over the course of the last few years. This year, we reached a new milestone and grew our team to the largest it has been since our founding back in 2014. With an ever growing team, we continue to provide the best teaching to the growing number of students taking classes with us!

The old (“new”) Team is back!

August 7, 2019

After a great year for both our students and Success Formula with Adrian as General Manager, we are sad to see him go back to Australia. We, again, want to thank him for his work and effort over the last year and wish him the best of luck and success for his future endeavors. But do not worry, a new (“oldish”) face is reappearing! Success Formula is going back to its roots and founder – Thomas – who is taking back the position as General Manager this year! To support him, Lena and Florian will be more active by handling some managerial tasks. These two should be quite familiar to most of you from previous classes or events as they have been with us for several years! Additionally, to those three, an intern (Olivia) will also be providing extra support to help Success Formula achieve its best year so far. We are excited for this upcoming academic year and look forward to welcoming many of you in the future!

It is Time For Change

September 8, 2020

New Chapter – New and old faces at Success Formula!2020 has been an interesting year for everyone –  also for Success Formula. Despite the various changes and challenges, we still hope that we were able to provide you with the best support during your studies. That being said, we did learn many things during those months and we believe this will make our services for you better this year.For the academic year 2020/21, a familiar face rejoins the team again and surely aims to provide the best possible experience for you in this upcoming year. More specifically, Michalina, one of our very first tutors, rejoins Success Formula as the new General Manager. She will be replacing Lena who decided to solely pursue her academic path with her PhD at UM. We will always remember Lena as part of the Success Formula history and wish her nothing but the best for her future endeavours. Michalina is obviously not alone! Her back-up might be familiar to most of you! Thomas and Florian, the two Success Formula veterans, will still handle most background activities.We also hope that with this change, we can go back to a “somewhat normalish” year for both our students and tutors. Last but not least, we are thrilled to see what the upcoming academic year brings and hope to welcome you soon in our classroom!
