Basic Technology

More than 6 years experience

I have taught students in different schools and states the basic themes in Basic Technology. The need to know workshop practices, tools, machines, mechanical systems, electrical systems, work, energy, power, and draughtsmanship especially the ability to differentiate among all types of engineering drawings such as orthographic projection, isometric, oblique and perspective drawings. I always make sure my students find the simplicity in replicating these drawings.

I have taught students in grade 7, 8 and 9. For the past five years I have prepared kids for state's BECE and junior NECO in Lagos and Oyo states with most making a distinction or credit pass.

I have always taught my students from the known to the unknown. I first of all find out their ideas and knowledge about a particular theme in Basic Technology and try to discover which knowledge they are missing. Once I realize where they are deficient, I try to introduce them to the new knowledge using things they are familiar with to consolidate their grasp of the new concept and also to push their reasoning to catching the knowledge themselves instead of bombarding them with an already established knowledge or fact. In this way I help to develop their ability to pick up knowledge themselves even without a tutor present with them.

I have always kept evaluating my students' performance and grasp of ideas and concepts by availing them with challenging exercises that will further broaden their understanding.

Olusegun also teaches:

SAT Math, Physics, Basic Sciences, Basic Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, General Mathematics

Levels taught: Primary, Jss, Sss, Undergraduate and Adult

Teaching Curriculum: Nigerian, British, American

I have taught British and American curricula both in schools and in tutorials for about four years. The British Mathematics is hard core i.e, students learnt concepts the raw way but later see how to apply it to real life situation. But in American curriculum, concepts are demystified.
