Welcome to The Academic Edge!
Welcome to The Academic Edge!
At The Academic Edge, we believe every student has the potential to succeed. Founded by Dr. Samantha Henry-Akhigbe, a passionate educator with a PhD in Microbiology from the University of Kent, our mission is to provide high-quality, personalised tuition that builds academic skills, confidence, and resilience.
The inspiration for The Academic Edge comes from Dr. Henry-Akhigbe’s desire to make top-tier education accessible to every student, regardless of their background or circumstances. Having seen first-hand how opportunities can be limited by financial or social factors, she wanted to create a space where all students could receive the support they need to reach their full potential.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: Giving Students the Edge to Excel. We offer tailored tuition that addresses the unique needs of each student, helping them gain the knowledge and confidence required to succeed in their studies and beyond.
Our Vision
We envision a future where all students, no matter their background, have access to the support they need to excel. By providing personalised education and ongoing mentorship, we help students grow academically and personally, preparing them for success in all areas of life.

What Sets Us Apart
At The Academic Edge, we go beyond traditional tutoring. While we focus on academic excellence, we also provide mentorship and emotional support. We believe that learning and personal growth are interconnected, and our aim is to help students build confidence, step out of their comfort zones, and aim higher.
Dr. Henry-Akhigbe’s background in bacterial drug-resistance reflects her commitment to innovative problem-solving—values she integrates into her approach to teaching. Whether in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, her goal is to foster critical thinking, personal development, and academic achievement that lasts.
At The Academic Edge, we’re committed to helping your child not just succeed, but truly thrive. Whether it's exam preparation, skill-building, or offering valuable mentorship, we’re here to support their journey to excellence.
