ABOUT US

Personalized learning
with a human heart.

MsSuzie is built by educators, tutors, designers and engineers who believe every child deserves to be seen, understood, and supported.

The world is overflowing with learning tools — apps, videos, platforms, worksheets — yet grades are falling, attention is slipping, and we’re told that kids today are lazy, distracted, unserious.

We don’t believe that for a second.

In our experience, as educators and as humans, the most successful learners aren’t the ones who study all day. They’re the ones who live balanced lives.

Kids should play games (have you seen what game designers earn?). They should play sports, watch TV, laugh, explore, make things, break things and learn.

The MsSuzie Philosophy

Our belief in children, learning, and the courage to do things differently.

At MsSuzie, we believe every child deserves someone who sees them, meets them where they are, and helps them climb. Not through pressure, but through understanding, practice, and confidence. Grades matter, but growth matters more. Curiosity matters. Self-belief matters. A child who loves learning will outperform a child who fears it every single time.

If we do our job right, you won't just see better grades. You'll see a different child. More confident. More curious. More willing to try again.

No perfect success
stories. Just one promise.

Your child becomes our priority.

If you don't see improvement in grades, confidence, or learning, email us, and we'll refund you.

No friction. No forms. No excuses.

MsSuzie wax seal

You should know who's
in the room.

You're trusting us with your child. So here are our faces, our stories, and where to find us.

Bolaji Akiode

Bolaji Akiode

Co-founder, CEO

Mobolaji Akiode has done a little bit of everything: Olympian, Hall of Famer, youth advocate, and professional believer in big dreams. After representing Nigeria on the basketball court, she founded Hope 4 Girls Africa, helping thousands of girls access sport and education. She’s also worked with ESPN, the NBA, JPMorgan and IBM. At MsSuzie, she brings serious experience, plenty of heart, and strong “you’ve got this” energy.

Folake Bankole

Folake Bankole

Co-founder, CFO

Folake Bankole really likes numbers—which is lucky for us. A former CFO at Sigma Pensions and one of the industry’s youngest CFOs, she’s a CFA charterholder, ACCA Fellow, and first-class Accounting graduate. Beyond balancing books and big decisions, Folake has a soft spot for giving back, especially to children and underserved communities. At MsSuzie, she brings sharp financial thinking, plenty of heart, and a reassuring love of making the numbers add up.

Lede Adeniyi

Lede Adeniyi

CTO

Lede Adeniyi is MsSuzie’s CTO and a lifelong builder who seems genuinely incapable of leaving a good problem alone. He’s spent years building products across Africa, mentoring tech talent, and hosting The Pulse of Tech, his podcast on building great products and teams. He also leads DULA, where he turns ambitious ideas into thoughtful, scalable products.

Ifeoma Nwobu

Ifeoma Nwobu

Head of Operations

Ifeoma Nwobu has never been very good at staying in one box. She went from fashion model to founder, building businesses like Frugirls and Sendstack along the way. She’s also a writer, speaker, and serious believer in turning big ideas into things that actually work. When she’s not building, you’ll probably find her writing, shopping, or curating a great look—proof that operations and style can absolutely coexist.

Chinyelu Akpa

Chinyelu Akpa

Head of Learning

Chinyelu Akpa has made a career out of making learning feel more like discovery. An EdTech leader and former head of STEMCafe, she’s spent years helping children get curious about science, technology, and everything in between. She’s also bilingual in English and French—because one language clearly wasn’t enough. At MsSuzie, Chinyelu brings big-picture thinking, plenty of curiosity, and a deep belief that learning should actually feel exciting.

Ifeoluwasimi Olusola

Ifeoluwasimi Olusola

Lead Product Designer

Ifeoluwasimi Olusola is a product designer who has spent years making learning feel a little less complicated. From uLesson to Miva and now MsSuzie, she’s designed products used by thousands of learners and parents. She loves turning messy problems into simple experiences, asking far too many “what if?” questions, and obsessing over the tiny details most people never notice—but definitely feel.
