Training for the people who see the child every day.
Most Nigerian schools have no educational psychologist. These programmes put the training where the child actually is — in the classroom.

Educational Psychology Mastery
For teachers and school staff who have a struggling child in front of them and no specialist to call.
Why this exists
Most Nigerian schools have no educational psychologist. A teacher with forty children is expected to spot a learning difficulty, manage the behaviour it causes, and explain it to a parent — with no training in any of it. This programme is the training nobody gave you.
Who it is for
Classroom teachers, school counsellors, heads of year, SEN coordinators, and school leadership in Nigeria and across West Africa.
How children actually learn
The cognitive foundations — attention, working memory, processing — and what it looks like when one of them is not working.
Spotting difficulty before it becomes discipline
The behaviours that get a child labelled lazy or disruptive, and how to tell which are learning difficulties wearing a disguise.
Classroom assessment you can actually run
Practical screening a teacher can do without a psychologist, what it can tell you, and the point at which you must refer.
The child who has stopped trying
Learned helplessness, school refusal, and the children who have already accepted the verdict the system handed them.
Counselling skills for teachers
What to say when a child discloses something. Where your role ends, and how to hold the boundary without abandoning them.
Talking to parents
How to raise a concern so a parent hears it rather than defends against it — including when culture, shame or faith is in the room.
Writing it down
Observation notes and referral letters that carry weight, so the next person in the chain can act on what you saw.
How it runs
- Self-paced video modules, built for patchy connections and mobile data
- A written field guide you keep and use in the classroom
- Practice cases drawn from real Nigerian schools
- Live question sessions with Dr. Christie each cohort
- Certificate on completion
You finish able to tell the difference between a child who will not and a child who cannot — and knowing exactly what to do about either.

For schools
Training a whole staff room.
Schools can commission this as in-person training for teaching staff, delivered across one day or a series of sessions, adapted to the year groups you teach and the problems you are actually seeing.
Schools also commission individual assessments and parent evenings. Write to her with your school name, the year groups involved, and what you are trying to solve.
Need help with one particular child?
A child and learning consult gives you an assessment and a written report the school can act on.
