Private teaching is for undergraduate, whose financial demand is within low income. It's not even for a graduate sef,or someone who wants a good life...

Some schools pay well, those big school.

But their expectations from you is just as good as being a slave.

You can't leave the school premises under no condition.

You must submit your phone to the gateman, who must turn it off,till it's time to go

You must not be seen talking privately to any student

There's a school,you must not enter any parent's car if they see you trekking to school
There was a school (name withheld) that told me that rubbish... That I will submit my phone... I just stood up and left after the orientation. Some said that it could be a test of faith... Imagine me without my phone. Make i loose a call from PRICE OF SAUDI ARABIA cus am teaching for u?

Guy Na Abuja i dey before. Then, we always hype ourselves for Living well... Anyways, u have ion for it. Try and go for an interview at Pacesetters Abuja. U will hate teaching that moment. There, u will see over 7000 job seekers ready for the interview.... Please eehh just go... The school's head office is at wuye. Even if u succeed, just know that one day, the director will come one day, look at u as if he hasn't see u in his life. The next thing is sack without reason... With other miscellaneous reasons i couldn't .
Another school is premier at wuse. U will teach on air( u will face professionals that will smile even wen u misbehave) u will finally go home knowing fully well that u won't be called. But luck can get u ur dream job in a good place shaa...
Very funny, my brother, I know all this places and even that premier school you mentioned.
Abj is a beautiful city especially the eyebrow area but this can only fool the newcomers as one will only fantasize till thy kingdom come.
I'm okay where I work just not fulfill, the salary is okay but I don't see myself answering to anybody beyond December this year as I plan to be my own boss but this pandemic is just slowing things down.
I started as a low level worker at my place of work before God open my boss eyes, he checked my CV again after 3months and all of a sudden he gave me a bigger task that I never expect even in a year of working with him, that's a good boss I must say.
I won't go into teaching full time, maybe home lesson for my nephews or cousins here in Abj as my aim is to go into transport very soon, get some cars for Uber and open a mechanical workshop as well as I'm into mechanical aspects right from my childhood.
Dad is a mechanic and a transporter so he trained me well into that aspect.
Moreover I think why average people fail in Abj is because of hyping and forming who they're not, telling people back home all is well when it isn't, living in an area of 200k per rent when you earn 30k per month.
I'm lucky as I don't pay house rent here, I live in one of my bro houses and if I want to go astray a times, he always call me to order.

a big school at festac is doing it.

The owner gave power to the class head, anytime a teacher enters a class, the class head writes down the time..5 mins late,#1000 deduction from salary,10 mins late,#2000 and so on..15 mins late,it's assumed you didn't teach the class.

You will see teachers begging a class head not to write the actual time he/she enters a class..

If the class head hates you,you are finished.

I just have to type this out to encourage someone who might need it. I use to be a teacher and I quite understand the plight of the young male teachers. If you are reading this, the first thing you have to do is to change your mentality. If you look critically, most of these teachers are females with less financial responsibilities. I decided to switch into freelance academic writing. The money I make for a single project is more than my monthly salary. I have to quit when it seems I'm too 'big' for the management. Too big I mean coming late and the rest.
You can't keep doing same thing and expect the same result. If you can read this, you have everything you need to quit teaching.

interested. link me up plz

I knew teachin was neva my calling since my service year even thou I've lately consider goin in2 it, albeit job not forthcoming after service year (thou just abt 6months out of service). Avin posted 2 teach durin my service year in a private school, even thou, myself nd odaz enjoyed sm level of liberty nd respect as we were been seen as temporary assets 2 d school as per education in sm northern part of d country, yet, I found d job very taskin nd exhaustin wif token as reward at d end of d month. I must commend d efforts of teachers. Unless one has ion 4 it, being a teacher isn't smtin encouragin truly.

Just as sm1 earlier claimed a student once told him/her dat his/her parent said, "teaching is 4 defeated people", I quite agree wif such assertion in person cos despite me not avin flair 4 it, I'm avin it consider cos I felt defeated as job isn't forthcoming.

Wif ol wat I'm seeing here, I tink d mindset of eva goin near teachin won't surface again.

Lemme just continue wif my little hustle jeje, at least I'm generatin btw #500-#1,000 on a daily basis (worst case scenery), 30k monthly on less dan 50k investment. Just started late January dis year nd my ROI is 100% gotten back. If not 4 dis lockdown dat seems 2 be disruptin d plan.

If u guys cud just tk d buz (port photograph business) as a side-hustle 2 compliment ur teachin, it cud be financially handy 4 u. U may even employ sm1 2 help u wif it shud u wudn't be chance 2 handle it. It's lucrative, dependin on d environment u r. Rentin a shop 2 start is even optional as I'm managing at sm1's shop myself, u too cud do same.

Now I see why sm people term teachin as #ModernDaySlavery.

@Queenext can you kindly teach me about the bitcoin business
@fuwaski please what are some online skills one can learn for free?
Thank you
Queenext: 7:30pm On Apr 27, 2020
I am receiving a lot of mention and mail on teaching about Bitcoin ,pls I am not here to myself ,or business

There's a section for it , the E- currency section.

Make due research,and just like any business, you need capital to start,and it also has its own risk too,which can be huge if precaution is not taken.

Pls,in an attempt to leave teaching,don't be too desperate, take your time, have a plan and most importantly, be prayerful in any decision you want to take

Peace.

Oh so because the school didn't sack you before the end of the term, na why you get mouth?

Do you think it's mouth they use to rub business?? And if we should ask your effectiveness in helping out in the organization you are now, it will be minute....

Or don't you know it's school fees that runs the school, or it's goods that I sell that I pay my workers from....

Where did you see 12 months contract lol... Like if you see a bigger job, you won't japa and leave the class empty
School owner, see your use of english.... No wonder you don't know the value of graudates, if at all you or your relations truely own any school.

You have a hustle that fetches you 500-1k daily in worst cases and you're considering leaving it for teaching?

That sounds like online trading, if it is, it already has prospect for you.

In any hustle you do, don't do ponzi and all these online investments please.

Good luck.

most of the time,I will.just leave the school, without any formal notice,after all,I was employed without any formal letter too.. I was always angry with myself, especially if I see some of University mate doing well. The last school I left,I just woke and decided not to go again. Some of my colleague thought I was mad,and going to suffer, today,I see them,and pity them.

Now,I make my one month salary in a day,ask any Bitcoin dealer. I can conveniently come out ,if millionaires are asked to come out.

Like I said,pls leave teaching, especially if u are a male..no future in it... especially those Private school, they have no plans for you, except to use you,till you become useless in life


Please, how does this bitcoin stuff work?

To all teachers and everyone that cares to listen. This Covid19 will change a lot of things. Top among them is the way people work. I dare say the future of income earning is remote. If you buy data, surf all the social media and make nothing then know you are wasting away.

Teachers are never appreciated in this country. Take up online classes which pays over 200k. Unbelievable right...well it is possible.
Preply and many others....here you can teach virtually anything right your home

Learn a digital skill today....plenty of digital skills abound. I find it intriguing seeing graduates take peanuts as salaries when u can actually freelance and make way better and be in control of your life.

Learn trading online....This right here is so cool. I love this one the most

Know this....the internet is a gold mine waiting to be tapped by you, you just need to open your eyes....even your village people can't stop you.

I personally do all of these things. Never depend on a single source of livelihood. Massive Job losses are looming. Question is what are you doing to stay afloat.

Stay Safe guys

Please, can you enlighten me more on this?.
How do I you ?
