Kanayo

Hello, my name is Kanayo. I’m a Christian, British Nigerian, award winning senior leader in education as well as a teacher of Psychology and Sociology (University of Surrey and IOE, UCL Alumnus).

Having a psychology degree provides me with a broad scope to experience many industries and fields of work. Although, my main aim is to continuously learn and also to share my knowledge and experience with others, within and beyond the constraints of the psychology community. Hence my pursuit to teach!

My philosophy on teaching is that students should drive their own learning. Lessons should be challenging, engaging and should draw on experiences of each student. Most of my lessons use discussion as a form of ‘stretch and challenge’, to foster intellectual rigour and depth. I pride myself on creating high quality resources for my students to aid their learning and revision, and have managed to subtly include social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter to support learning. My mantra is grace and truth in all areas of teaching. I aim to model the type of individual that I would like my students to become and enjoy having the privilege of teaching future business owners, doctors, lawyers, mothers, fathers and so on.
