Mrs. Modupe Olufunmilayo Macaulay is an educator, trainer, and passionate child advocate with over 30 years of experience spanning secretarial practice, secondary school teaching, tertiary-level lecturing, and school administration.
Her teaching career began in 1991 as a volunteer children's church teacher, which inspired her to pursue formal education qualifications at the University of Lagos. She served at Holy Child College, Topville College, and as a lecturer at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education — earning the Best Lecturer of the Year award on two consecutive occasions.
In 2015, driven by her lifelong passion for children's education and mentorship, she founded Cortina Nursery & Primary School. She has also been appointed by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to develop trade subject syllabuses, and received the prestigious Global Essence Education Award (2016) for her selfless service to society.
Beyond Cortina, she runs Xeelon Educational Services, where she engages in curriculum development, Montessori teacher training, and recruiting educators for schools across Nigeria.
