About this course

Learn to use ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other free AI tools to build lesson plans, notes, worksheets, slides, quizzes with marking schemes, differentiated materials and report comments — all matched to the Nigerian curriculum and WAEC/NECO/JAMB. By the end you can prepare a week's teaching in a fraction of the time, teach hard topics more clearly, and earn extra income as a tutor or materials-maker.

AI will not replace you — but a teacher who uses AI will out-teach one who does everything by hand. Hand the boring, repetitive prep (plans, notes, quizzes, marking schemes, reports) to AI, and spend your energy on the part only a human can do: actually teaching children.
