This is exactly how China transferred technical knowledge from the US back to their country. The exchange students review their day lessons with their Chinese lecturers at the end of everyday, who in turn revise & adjust their syllabuses to keep their students in the classrooms in China updated. This could really be good for our educational system. cool

I teach mathematics for grades 1-6 and my pupils are always among the first 10 best students in their various states Entrance exams.
If anyone is interested, please quote me.

Those saying because it's cheaper don't realise that the driver for doing this is the high quality of education in Nigeria. I understand you might not have lived outside Nigeria, so I have no problem with your views.

Most schools abroad encourage mediocrity and non ambitious learning. Many Nigerians see this gap and decide that their own child will not the bandwagon of mediocrity and so get a teacher from Nigeria who will help push the child better with a Nigerian driven curriculum.

Why do you think Nigerians top classes in UK schools for example?

And I hope such child is being imbibed the Nigerian culture while in the US ba. Cos learning from Nigerians can be hell to then based on their loose system there.
Anyways, all the best to the proponent of that idea.
For me o, I prefer my child goes to Korea for education

I pay R300 daily for a 1hr maths lesson for my child. That’s almost 40k naira daily. I think this is dope and would definitely patronise them.

I teach UK students too. The result is evident. The ones I teach now top their class. Especially in mathematics and Engineering

I know someone who does this. He stopped his physical teaching job. And focused on it. He teaches mathematics to students outside the country.
He uses an ipad pro, expensive microphones, and other teaching aids.
Gives assignments and notes and marks on the fly. I was really impressed. I sold some of those gadgets to him so I was curious as to why a teacher needed them

Nigerians offering lessons online... Don't charge anything less than 50-60 pounds an hour.

Don't be cheap labour for people who japa'd but now want extra lessons for their kids that they took there for a better future.

Don't you want a better future too??

This is by far the most preposterous comment so far on this thread. It is only a ludicrous person that'd say Nigerian Teachers teach cut and English, when it is conspicuous that we have several English Language Teachers that know their onions. Some of us that didn't study English language and aren't English language Teachers can even teach the Language well to a good extent.

No be lie, educated Nigerians sabi speak English.

Yeah, it might be to bridge the gap but again we cannot rule out the fact that it's because it's cheap. A friend linked me to a Nigerian woman living in the US who wanted me to help maintain her site and she was offering $10.
I declined and later got to know that the person maintaining it for her was charging $100 per month hence the reason she was looking for a cheaper option in Nigeria.

Nigerians have ways of simplifying complex ideas theoretically that a two-year old will understand. But the practical that's on a long thing.

So Nigerians in the diaspora are getting the theory explained by Nigerian teachers and the practical will be done in the abroad where they are residing.

If you ask me, that's a two factor assurance - so brilliant. That way the child will be good at both the theory and practical.
It's because of cost, to hire private Tutor over there no be beans

Like someone rightly said, primary reason is because it’s a lot cheaper than getting one over there. It’s the same reason why Nigerians abroad import food stuff that they can easily get abroad.

It's a good thing. I also teach grade 10 and 11 Mathematics to students in Canada and I don't even use Zoom. I use the video feature of WhatsApp call. However, you need to be familiar with their syllabus because some areas are slightly different from our syllabus in Nigeria. But overall, it's all fun!

They will be paying the person based on Nigeria price . I have a friend doing it for someone in UK
I disagree, because we are presently doing this, we've hired a teacher in Nigeria who does 4 hours a week for our daughter and we pay him 120k a month.

That's a fascinating trend. Here are some thoughts on this style of online lessons:

Benefits
1. Cultural connection: Nigerian children living abroad can maintain a connection to their cultural heritage by learning from teachers who share their background.
2. Personalized learning: Online lessons allow for one-on-one attention, which can be particularly helpful for students who need extra or have specific learning needs.
3. Convenience: With online lessons, students and teachers can connect from anywhere, making it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives.
4. Access to quality education: Nigerian teachers may offer a unique perspective or teaching style that can complement the local education system.

Challenges
1. Time zone differences: Coordinating lesson times across different time zones can be challenging.
2. Technical issues: Reliable internet connectivity and minimal technical glitches are crucial for successful online lessons.
3. Communication barriers: Language or cultural differences may lead to communication challenges between teachers, students, and parents.
4. Quality control: Ensuring the quality of online lessons and teachers can be difficult, particularly if parents are not physically present.

Opportunities
1. Job creation: This trend can create job opportunities for Nigerian teachers, both within Nigeria and abroad.
2. Cultural exchange: Online lessons can facilitate cultural exchange between Nigerian teachers and students from diverse backgrounds.
3. Innovation in education: This model can inspire innovative approaches to education, such as virtual classrooms or online tutoring platforms.

Overall, this trend highlights the potential for technology to bridge geographical gaps and provide access to quality education. With careful planning, effective communication, and a commitment to quality, online lessons with Nigerian teachers can be a valuable resource for students and families abroad.
