Leave them. When the pikin turn olodo finish, they'll call you back. Increase it to 70 or 80.

I'm telling you. Serious olodo. Like so many cases we are having in some of my schools where new intakes in basic 4 and 5 can not read because they don't have phonics background and their former schools don't have phonics in their curriculum. You'll see those nursery pupils that have the foundation reading very well what a basic 4 cannot read.

A colleague of mine called me last week and Said a woman needs a sounds teacher to come and take the child on sounds this summer to enable the child read before school resumes and that she wants someone with British diction.
So, because I'm a diction instructor and have done that kind of job in the past ( like nine years ago) my friend recommended me.

Back then ( 2014) when I was into this home lesson full time, I was charging 25k per child and its three times a week and I pick the places I go to. No long distance thing.
Now with the current situation of the economy and considering my age, I charged this woman 50k three times a week and she said it's too much. Meanwhile, the school the child is attending was where I taught before I left and started doing home lesson and their school fees then ( 2014) was 95k for prep class. By now it should be around 150k. My friend already told me the school the child attends.

She said it's too much that she can only afford 20k. I just ignored them. They will pay 150k for school fees, nothing much to show for it but will want to give you peanut and expect you to perform magic under 1month.

If I handle the child, no doubt, she'll read and her accent will change but definitely not for that amount. I'll now be trekking that long distance cos no bike and somebody is telling me 50k is too much.

Did I do wrong by ignoring them cos they want me to come and start this August but I have zeroed my mind there.

Would you accept such amount for home lesson?

.I dont need to enter a vehicle to the place but I can't do it. It's too stressful when teaching a baby how to read because that's what phonics is all about. It will help the baby to read very fast but the task is not easy.

It makes no sense teaching a child diction for a month only go back to school where it will not be put to use. That'll be counter productive.

I've taught in the school before they use diction there, that's why the mum wants someone who can continue with diction but she no want to pay well. By the way, it's not only diction I'll be taking the child on. Reading and blending.

Exactly my view point.

He mentioned a whole school fee of N150k (maybe it is per term of 3months), then he wants to charge 50K per month for just a fraction of English subject?

If he mentioned that the school charges N300K or more, I would understand why he would want to charge N50k and expect the parent to pay such.

N50k/month is not much, but it is too much for a parent paying a whole school fee of N150k/term.


No mind op, he/she no dey ready to teach the girl.

See, no matter how dull a child is, if I handle that child, the brain go correct. I have handled the worst slow learners that their parents were asking me how I did it. A particular boys mother asked her nanny how I do it that she should be watching me whenever I'm taking the boy so she can show them the method I use but the nanny said I should not tell them. She said they've tried different techniques and method, still the boy could not read or get his sums right until I was recommended to them by another parent whom I handled their son who had same issue. I just laughed.

I can handle any child as long as the pay is right. They'll end up getting cheap labor with no results. Waste of money.

Make I save this post. In case of future.

Getting a good home lesson teacher is very difficult. I remembered looking for one for my children some years back but I could not find a suitable one. Kudos to you.

Ogbeni, I will not accept it for even N50k except I am broke. Some parents pay huge amount as school fees but pay home tutors less. If you make yourself cheap that's the way they will treat you. The most important thing is to render to them a good service that they'll not regret hiring you. So whatever it is they say, don't back down. Stay firm in your demand. And if they eventually hire you, do a good job, they'll want to recommend you to others.

You know your onions and your worth. And that's great.
However here's my 2 cents for you to reconsider;

1. Are you very engaged at the moment, I mean do you have a better offer that's paying you more than that presently?
2. Does the 20k per week cover your transport, feeding and necessary bills (basic needs)?
3. Have you considered this client could be a means to an end? A contact that will end up advertising you to other parents when they see the result of your tutorial/work on her child?
4. The whole situation of the economy touch everyone-both rich and poor and especially parents. They have already paid 150k for school fees, another 150k for tutorial for one subject would actually be quite burdensome.

That said, all the best with your decision.
And I think you should consider focusing more on this diction tutorials. It's a highly-valuable skill.
