Ngozi currently teaches on three modules:
 
PT7001 which is Applied Sciences for Physiotherapy Practice; this is year-long module taken by pre-registration Physiotherapy students in the first year of their programme to support the development and application of knowledge and understanding of biological (anatomy and physiology), psychological, and social aspects of human sciences to deal with issues affecting health and wellbeing, within a biopsychosocial context. The teaching and learning focus on developing understanding of human functioning, including the exploration of dysfunction and recovery processes.
 
PT5W50 and PT6W50 which are Practice Education 1 and 2 respectively. These modules are aimed at supporting students to complete mandatory practice education elements required to apply for professional membership with the CSP and graduate with eligibility to register as a Physiotherapist. This module gives students the opportunity to further consolidate their theoretical knowledge, understanding, practical and clinical skills to make the transition to an entry level Physiotherapist. In addition, it will enable them embed core professional practice requirements such as working within their expanding scope of practice, managing own workload, maintaining own health, multi-disciplinary working including with service users, clinical governance, information management and continuing professional development (CPD) under the guidance of clinical educators within a healthcare environment. In this module, Ngozi facilitates clinical simulations and mandatory training for the first and second year pre-reg masters students.
 
Ngozi contributes to other modules as an instructor in Foundations for Physiotherapy Practice, Physiotherapy Theory and Practice 1 and 2 as well as Leadership and Service Improvement.
