The book Dear Educator is a heart-to-heart collection of letters, sharing the secrets of high-performing and highly-paid educators in an easy-to-read plain, everyday language.
Dear Educator shares nuggets and insights that are guaranteed to furnish the educator with what it means to move from being a good teacher to being an outstanding one, and one that every employer will crave to have and reckon with.
The topics in Dear Educator are carefully selected and are poised to making an educator equipped with what it takes to be the best at his craft. It’s not written in an academic style and does not have to be read page sequentially.
Dear Educator covers topics which every educator must take into consideration for career excellence, success and fulfilment. It touches on the identity of the teacher as an influencer and emphasises self-acceptance as critical if an educator must impart value.
The author uses various powerful stories and illustrations and shares even her personal journey to cleverly drive home critical points such as the importance of character of the educator, professional development and the need to be up-to date with current happenings and advancements in the education field, personal grooming and appearance of a teacher, emotional intelligence and so much more!
The book also shares very important tips on managing professional relationships with students, parents, colleagues, and the school community and of course, the bosses. It emphasises the need for creating a healthy work-life balance and lots more.
Launched in May 2019, Dear Educator is already making its way to being a great best seller in the education community.
There are already lots of testimonials from the readers of Dear Educator, but one thing all these testimonials have in common is that every reader believes the book should be read by everyone in the education community in Nigeria, Africa and beyond.
Dear Educator has an international appeal and the production of the book is top-notch. The cover page is unique and attractive and its rich content makes it a book you would not drop until you have finished it.

Schools need to stock it in their libraries and it makes a great gift from parents to teachers and from employers to their school staff as gifts. A good number of non-educators have purchased the book as the knowledge shared in this book can also be applied in other sectors successfully.
