hey guys, please dont pay attention to the topic of the thread as what i intend this thread to be all about, is completely different.

i chose this topic and this section because it is rarely visited which means fewer chances that non informed people will come in here to derail it. so i have decided to select you guys @abumadea @madcow @siraweezy @larrypourl @naturalwaves @chuckzyfcb @sochima1989 @allymarry89 to come here and give me advice on an issue. i was in a thread which is about salary scale for schools in lekki, badore exis. your contribution to that thread shows you all are the right once to give me an advice on this issue

i am applying to Atlantic Hall, Meadow Hall, Chrisland, Greenspring et al to teach Mandarin Chinese.
but the problem is, i dont know what the salary scale for this kind of job would be.

someone told me a lady in Greenspring who teaches spanish earns 400, 000 naira per month. for Mandarin, whose teachers are even fewer and the language more sought after today, what do you suggest i should be looking at? i dont want to sell myself short.

for those of you who teach in such schools, do you have a mandarin teacher, do you think your school needs one?

To start with, I do not think that figure is correct. Mandarin is not so common in schools around here at all. What I will suggest is that, you should not try to get to these schools but float a mandarin club in them. You start up a club and introduce it to the school. You can charge a 10k to 20k a term per participant. If you have an average of 10 pupils in 5 schools, that is 50 pupils times 10k each, and that will give you 500k in three months. You can visit the schools one at a time in each day of the week and this means that you will have all your morning time to yourself to do other things. Mind you, the 10k figure is the minimum o and the 10 per school is the average. You may even have 30 in a school. The number of pupils you will get depends on your packaging and how you wow them when you introduce the club on the assembly or wherever you do the presentation. You can even hire a Chinese lady for your presentation.

MiddleDimension, I will go with this advice too

thanks alot. this means i will have to write a proposal and send to the schools. that was my thought initially but i was thinking that such schools will prefer to have an in house teacher since they would want their students to be able to speak eventually.

The in house thing will not pay you. It will take a while but if you're an in-house teacher, you could get private lessons to teach Mandarin depending on the packaging and how you present it. If a school gives you 100k and you have about three private mandarin lessons, you can make say an extra 100k to make 200k or more for you but lessons aren't always consistent.

The proposal thing you're talking about isn't something you should take as a big deal o. You can approach these schools as a visitor and ask to see the Head and all and if you want to do a letter too before appointment, that will be okay. Trust me, it has to be about how you "wow" them. I could give you good suggestions when you finally make up your mind.

i really appreciate your help.

yesterday, i sent an application letter together with my cv to about 9 of those schools but they have not recieved it yet since the delivery day is thursday (i used UPS). do you think it makes sense if i just go to one of those schools and try out your suggestion before the UPS actually gets to them?

and majority of those schools are boarding schools, how will the students go and inform their parents about the Mandarin club?

how about me put it to them this way: if you want me to be an in house teacher like every other teacher, then you have to pay me this amount of money; but the benefit will be that the students will learn faster ans better. and if you cant accept that, then i may want to consider being a freelance teacher and come only once a week to teach the Mandarin club and then charge per head.

also, when you say ''club'', what do you mean really? do you mean a group if students who are going to be learning and speaking Mandarin, which is not too different from what most french teachers do? or are the students going to be doing other things?

Grace children school/ high school teach mandarin.

Excellent idea bro. This suggestion is not bad. Make sure you do not come too cheap.

If you want to go on your own, hold your CV again as if you want to drop it and ask if you can see the school Heads.
