About

A teacher who notices the learner behind the work

I am an English Language educator based in Jos. I have taught in primary and secondary schools, lectured in Communication Skills and Academic Writing at college level, and I currently teach senior secondary English at Great Oaks Academy.

I am also trained in trauma-informed education. That training shapes how I teach: patiently, safely, and with attention to what each learner needs in order to grow in confidence.

Alongside teaching, I mentor students for writing competitions and work as a Virtual Assistant at Balm Therapeutic Services.
