Six-year-old Sherwyn Sarabi has an IQ score of at least 160 – putting him in an elite group that includes Einstein and making him one of Mensa’s youngest members. He is studying for a GCSE in maths and has passed grade five piano.
Mum Amanda, of Barnsley, South Yorks, said: “We work lots outside school as school is not enough for him.
“He wants to be taught and learn because otherwise he gets bored, and he used to misbehave when he wasn’t being challenged enough.
“Although maths is his favourite subject, he does well at everything he tries, like music– he’s passed his grade five in piano and grade three in violin already.”
Sherwyn said: “I’ve always loved maths. I like everything about it, especially algebra. It’s hard to explain why I can do it though, it just feels natural."
“I don’t remember doing the Mensa tests. But I felt really happy when I joined and grown-up too."
“I think I’d like to be a mathematician when I grow up but I’m not sure what to do exactly yet."
“I just like feeling tested enough by my teacher and out of school.”
