TekiToki Academy: Coding School for Nigerian Secondary Students

Why this matters now

The world your child is growing into, runs on code.

Technology is not a hobby or an elective. It is fast becoming the language of commerce, medicine, finance, and governance. Understanding how it works is becoming a basic literacy, the same way reading and writing once were.

School ICT classes don't go far enough. Most secondary schools teach students how to use a computer, like opening a document or formatting a slide. Very few teach a child how to build something from nothing. That is the gap Build Lab was built to close.

Nigeria's tech space is growing, and it is open. More opportunities are reaching people with real skills and an internet connection, from remote work to freelance projects to local tech roles. A student who learns to build early does not have to wait for permission to enter that space later.

Ages 11 to 16 is a good age to start. At this age, students pick up new systems and ways of thinking quickly. Your child does not need to already be good with computers. They just need to be curious enough to try.

TekiToki doesn't just teach your child to use technology.
We teach them to build with it.

The Programme

Build Lab is 13 weeks, three sets, and one finished project your child actually built.

Build Lab is our flagship programme, and it is built around doing rather than watching. Every student leaves with real work they made themselves, not just a certificate but something they can point to and say "I built this." Along the way they learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the three languages every website is built with.

01

Set One: Weeks 1-4

Foundations

Students learn how computers actually think. We cover core logic, problem solving, and the fundamentals of programming, explained clearly and without jargon. No prior experience is needed to start here.

02

Set Two: Weeks 5-9

Build

This is where students start constructing things. They work on web pages, small apps, and interactive projects. They learn by making mistakes and fixing them, which is exactly how real developers work too.

03

Set Three: Weeks 10-13

Ship

Each student finishes and presents a final project, something they built and can show a parent, a teacher, or a university admissions officer one day.

Format

Live, online classes

Class Size

Small cohort

Duration

13 weeks

Age Group

11–16 years

Optional Pathway: Cambridge IGCSE 0417

Build Lab gives students a strong foundation if they later want to pursue the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science qualification, known as Syllabus 0417. This is something a student may go on to do, not something this programme guarantees. Whether it is the right next step depends on your child's pace, interest, and your family's goals.

The Team

People who teach, not just manage.

Precious-Anne Oluwadamilotun Esiri

Founder & Lead Educator, TekiToki Academy

Educator Precious did not start TekiToki from a business plan. She started it from a classroom. She has spent years as a full stack developer and cloud engineer, but she has also stood in front of real students as a teacher, and she knows the exact moment a child decides they are "not a coding person." She built TekiToki to interrupt that moment, because she has watched it happen to children who were perfectly capable, just never shown that coding could be something they could actually do.

She wrote the curriculum and built the Build Lab framework herself, leads the team that teaches it, and teaches the 11 to 14 age group.

Payment & Refund Policy
Full fees are due at the time of enrollment to confirm your child's spot. If TekiToki cancels the cohort for any reason, you will receive a full refund. If you have any questions about payment, you can raise them on WhatsApp before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions parents ask before enrolling.

Yes. Build Lab is built for beginners from the very start. Set One, the first four weeks, assumes no prior knowledge at all. We begin by explaining how computers think before we teach any specific language. If your child is curious and willing to try, that is the only thing they need to bring.

All classes are live and held online. Students join through a video link on a platform your child is probably already familiar with. Classes run at set times each week for 13 weeks, and you will receive the full schedule before the cohort begins. Your child just needs a device with a working internet connection. A laptop works best, but a tablet is fine too.

Build Lab is designed to fit alongside school, not compete with it. Classes are scheduled around core school hours, and the total weekly time, including class and practice, is kept manageable for a student who is also keeping up with their regular schoolwork. We keep our cohorts small partly so we can stay flexible and attentive to each student's pace.

Every student finishes the programme with a project they built themselves. It might be a simple web application, an interactive webpage, or a small program that solves a problem they chose to work on. Beyond the project, they will understand how to read and write code, how to debug a problem, and how to think through a solution step by step. These are skills that carry well beyond this programme.

Yes. Every student who completes the programme receives a TekiToki Build Lab certificate. As for the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science qualification, Syllabus 0417, Build Lab gives students a strong foundation if they choose to pursue it later. It is something a student may go on to do, not something guaranteed by this programme alone. Whether it is the right next step depends on your child's progress and your family's goals, and we are always happy to talk that through with you directly.
