Hello everyone, my name is Babajide Olowookere, but you can call me Jide. I am excited to introduce you to what my lessons are like and share a bit about my experience and teaching approach.

Lesson Format and Dynamics:

Each session typically starts with a brief overview of the day's topic, followed by a step-by-step demonstration. I ensure that each concept is thoroughly explained and visually represented, making it easier for you to grasp complex ideas.

We will then move into practical exercises where you will get to apply what you've learned. This could involve creating digital graphics, designing layouts, or working on live projects that simulate real-world scenarios. I believe in learning by doing, so expect a lot of hands-on activities where you can experiment and explore your creativity.
