About us
Pioneering atmospheric & environmental science
Atmospheric Research and Educonsult (AREC) is a UK-registered Community Interest Company specialising in environmental research, air-quality monitoring, scientific consultancy and capacity-building programmes.
Our multidisciplinary team provides technical expertise, analytical services and policy-relevant environmental solutions to government agencies, academic institutions and industry partners in the UK, Nigeria and other regions.
Why work with AREC
Our team combines world-class scientific rigour with deep local knowledge, ensuring research that is both globally relevant and locally impactful.
UK - Nigeria research bridge
One team working across two regulatory environments, with local field capability and UK scientific oversight.
Community-centred impact
Research designed with the communities and agencies who have to act on the findings.
Peer-reviewed excellence
Methods and outputs that stand up to academic scrutiny and regulatory review.
AREC Learning Portal
Training that continues after the workshop
Our capacity-building programmes run on the AREC Learning Portal - a private platform where tutors post live class links and recordings, learners follow their own schedule, parents track their children, and AREC administrators oversee every conversation.
- Live class links & recordings
- Tutor and learner dashboards
- Parent oversight of every child
- AI tutor for guided study

AREC Educonsult
Education is half of who we are
The 'Educonsult' in our name is our education arm: we take real environmental science into classrooms and make STEM learning accessible to young people in the UK and Nigeria.
01
STEM classes for young learners
Foundation and holiday STEM programmes covering maths, English, science and environmental studies, taught live by vetted AREC tutors.
02
Environmental science in the classroom
Lessons built on real air-quality data, sensors and field campaigns, so learners work with the same evidence our researchers use.
03
Teacher & school support
Curriculum resources, lesson plans and CPD for schools that want to teach climate, air quality and sustainability with confidence.
04
Education consultancy
Advisory for institutions and agencies designing environmental curricula, postgraduate research capability and lab practice.
05
Community & outreach
School talks, clean-air awareness sessions and community projects across the UK and Nigeria, delivered with local partners.
06
Scholarship & inclusion
Free and subsidised places so cost never decides who gets to learn science - supported by our volunteers and partners.
Educonsult programmes
What our education arm actually delivers
Three programme strands run all year across the UK and Nigeria, from weekly classes for young learners to CPD for teachers and clean-air outreach in communities.
For learners
Foundation & holiday STEM classes
Live small-group classes in maths, English, science and environmental studies for primary and junior secondary learners, taught by vetted AREC tutors with recordings, homework and progress tracking in the Learning Portal.
- Live weekly classes plus recordings
- Real air-quality data in every science unit
- Free and subsidised places available
For schools & teachers
Teacher CPD and curriculum support
We help schools teach climate, air quality and sustainability with confidence: ready-to-run lesson plans, practical experiments, assessment guidance and continuing professional development delivered in person or online.
- Lesson plans mapped to UK and Nigerian curricula
- Low-cost practical experiments
- CPD sessions and follow-up mentoring
For communities
Outreach, volunteering & scholarships
Clean-air awareness sessions, school talks and community science projects run with local partners and volunteers, funded so that cost never decides who gets to learn science.
- School and community clean-air talks
- Volunteer and mentoring pathways
- Scholarship places for underserved learners
Our impact
Education that reaches beyond the classroom
Every programme is measured on what learners, teachers and communities can do afterwards, not on attendance alone.

Testimonials
What families, teachers and volunteers say
Feedback from the people our education programmes are built for.
My daughter went from avoiding science homework to explaining particulate matter at the dinner table. The tutors make it practical and she never feels left behind.
Adaeze O.
Parent, Lagos
The AREC teacher sessions gave us experiments we can actually run with the equipment we have. Our pupils now collect their own air-quality readings each term.
Mr. Bassey E.
Science teacher, Abuja
Volunteering on the outreach programme showed me how research turns into something a community can use. It shaped the postgraduate route I chose.
