Six senior secondary schools: AlhudaHuda College, Barewa College, Government Secondary School Kofar Kibo, Government Girls Secondary School Kofar Gayan, Government Girls Secondary School Pada and Government Girls Secondary School, Kongo were sampled. Research methodology: 423 questionnaires were administered to respondents. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using SPSS version 23 were used to analyze the data. Results: The results revealed that the demonstration method of teaching was the most used by teachers ahead of others (44.6%). The results also revealed that 28.3% of the students who responded say they did not know the teachers’ actual method in teaching them. Limitations: The study used not only Geography teachers as respondents, but also other subjects related to Geography. Additionally, the study covered only Zaria Local Government Secondary Schools.
