Building smarter learners across Africa
We're on a mission to teach the one skill school forgot to teach: how to learn. Founded in 2019, piloting in Nigeria, built for the continent.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To teach every student how to learn effectively using brain-based, science-backed strategies.
Our Vision
To empower students and lifelong learners in Africa and beyond to unlock their full potential by transforming the way they learn.
Born from a real need, not a slide deck
GiftedBrain Academy was founded in 2019 by Jesugbogo Enis with a clear and powerful vision: to help students learn how to learn. The idea emerged from a realization that, in schools, students are often taught what to learn but rarely how to learn effectively. Recognizing this gap, Jesugbogo set out to create a system that equips students with the tools, strategies, and mindset they need to succeed not only in academics but also in life.
In 2021, Oluwatosin Akinmoju joined as Co-Founder and COO, bringing the operational depth that scaled the academy across more than 30 schools. Together, Jesugbogo and Oluwatosin lead GiftedBrain Academy as co-founders.
Since its inception, GiftedBrain Academy has reached over 2,000 students across more than 30 schools, transforming how they approach education and personal growth. Today, we continue to expand our reach, building a generation of learners ready to thrive academically and in life.
