A written plan, not vibes
Every student gets a learning plan with named targets and dates. You can see whether we're hitting them, rather than take our word for it.
About Irene Nexus
A small tutoring practice, run like a school.
Not a marketplace, not a directory. One teacher who built the practice she wanted her own children to have, and the standards that come with it.
About Irene Nexus
Irene Nexus is a one-to-one online tutoring practice teaching the Nigerian, British, American and Canadian curricula. Lessons run on Google Meet, Monday to Saturday, scheduled around the family's own time zone.
Every student is taught by a teacher who has taught that syllabus in a classroom. Parents receive a written progress report every month, so nobody has to guess whether it is working.
Why families choose us
Tutoring that behaves like a school, not a marketplace.
Why families choose us
Tutoring that behaves like a school, not a marketplace.
Most online tutoring platforms hand you whoever is available. We run this differently — and the difference is what parents tell us they were looking for.
Matched, not assigned
We pair a child with the tutor whose specialism and temperament suit them — not simply whoever has a free slot on Tuesday.
Your timezone, held
Choose a slot that works around school and bedtime in your country. It stays yours for the term — no weekly rescheduling scramble.
Safeguarding in writing
Vetted tutors, recorded lessons, no private messaging. Our policies are published on this page, not buried in terms you'll never read.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first lesson.
Book a free assessment
A 30-minute call with Irene, at no cost. We meet your child, hear your concerns, and establish where they actually are.
Agree the plan
You receive a learning plan with clear targets, the right curriculum and subject teacher, session frequency, and the date we expect to hit them.
Choose your schedule
Daily, termly or yearly. We teach Monday to Saturday — pick the slot that suits your timezone and it stays yours.
Start lessons
One-to-one sessions on Google Meet, with a written progress report every month so you can see the movement rather than take it on trust.
The teacher behind it
Fifteen years in the classroom. Four curricula. One conviction.

Irene Egbuawa · Founder & Lead Educator
Irene has taught English Language, Literature and Creative Writing for fifteen years — across lower primary, upper primary, junior and senior secondary, in schools that run both Nigerian and international programmes.
She holds a B.Ed. in English and a Master's in Educational Administration and Planning, both from the University of Lagos, and has taught at Mastersville Children School and Greensprings School. She currently works with a school in Lagos State. More than twenty professional certifications from Cambridge, Oxford and the British Council are the reason she can move between four curricula without missing a step.

Her teaching rests on one belief: no child is unteachable. What looks like inability is almost always a mismatch of method. A standard classroom runs at one speed and misses the behavioural cues that tell you what a child actually needs. A student stuck on creative writing rarely needs more rules — more often they need their own interests written into the prompt, and frustration turns into enthusiasm.
Irene Nexus grew out of years of watching exactly that happen, and out of the knowledge that crowded classrooms simply don't have room for it.

Your child is online with a teacher. We take that seriously.
Irene is certified in Child Protection by the British Council. These four policies are written down, and they apply to her and to every tutor Irene Nexus brings on.
Vetted and reference-checked
Identity verified, qualifications confirmed and two professional references taken up before any tutor meets a student.
Sessions are recorded
Lessons are recorded and kept. Parents can request any recording, at any time, without giving a reason.
No contact off-platform
Tutors never message a student privately. All communication runs through the parent.
