Our Services

Better Classrooms was founded by Ayo, a mentor and educator with over 30 years of experience helping young people and teachers thrive.

Shaped by his own journey overcoming trauma, neglect, and learning challenges, Ayo brings energy, empathy, and real-world insight into every classroom he works with.

At the heart of Better Classrooms is a clear goal: to make classrooms better—for students to learn, grow, and make the most of their education, and for teachers to feel supported, confident, and able to manage without constant stress or burnout.

We’re here to turn challenges into progress, and to create learning environments where both students and educators can succeed.

Our mission is simple: challenge inequality and empower every learner to thrive.

We offer:

  • Ayo’s one-to-one mentoring sessions are a space where personal challenges are met with understanding and practical solutions. With a calm, empathetic approach, he listens closely, helping individuals unlock their potential by focusing on their unique strengths and growth areas. Whether working with students and parents where necessary, Ayo’s guidance is always tailored, ensuring each person feels supported and empowered to overcome obstacles.

  • In group mentoring, Ayo creates an environment of shared learning and mutual support, where everyone feels valued and heard. He fosters open communication, encouraging participants to share experiences, challenges, and successes. By drawing on the collective knowledge and diverse perspectives within the group, Ayo helps individuals build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop problem-solving skills that benefit both their personal growth and the group's overall dynamic.

  • Ayo’s series of classroom management workshops, equips teachers with practical tools and strategies to create a positive, engaging, and well-structured learning environment. He draws on his vast experience to help educators address common classroom challenges, from maintaining focus and managing disruptive behaviour, to controlling the room and fostering a supportive atmosphere where all students can thrive. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, Ayo empowers teachers to feel more confident, reduce stress, and enhance their ability to manage diverse classroom dynamics effectively.

  • In his Life Skills Talks, Ayo draws from his own transformative journey of overcoming personal challenges, including trauma and undiagnosed learning difficulties, to equip others with essential life skills. In his own unique and naturally engaging style, he shares practical strategies for navigating adversity, building resilience, and making the most of opportunities—empowering individuals to take control of their own growth and succeed in both personal and professional life.
