George Dimitriadis

George Dimitriadis is a retired mathematics teacher and author based in Melbourne, Australia. His writing draws on his years in the classroom, his Greek heritage, family life and a curiosity about the unexpected turns of everyday experience.

His stories range from humorous school yarns and personal reflections to imaginative fiction. In his Jimmy stories, an inquisitive student challenges familiar mathematical ideas—and frequently tests his teacher’s patience. George enjoys using dialogue, humour and surprising questions to make readers think while keeping them entertained.

His books include An Anthology of School Yarns, Looking at Life Sideways and Taking the Scenic Route. He also publishes stories on Medium and shares his interest in mathematics through PhiloMathematica.

Away from writing, George enjoys spending time with his wife and family, especially his granddaughters, and collecting vintage books, fountain pens and scientific instruments.
