Forget the certificate, it's the experience that counts. When you can prove that you know what you're teaching and you market yourself properly, many parents will contact you.
As far as I am concerned, you are much better than a graduate who studied mathematics education since you've practicing for 6 years. Just believe in yourself.
Find a way to demonstrate yourself by teaching some students free for a month. If you prove yourself, their parents will pay you. Do you know how many people complain about how bad their children are in mathematics?
Leave this site and look for those complaints. Then find a way to contact them and offer your services. Forget the certificate. Prove you have the knowledge. It won't be easy, that I know. But it will be worth it on the long run. So teaching is now for every Tom, Dick and Harry. 1 Like |

Fellow Nairalanders,
I am writing this article with great pain in my heart. The unethical and abusive culture of the management of the school where I teach is second to none.
After a successful interview and negotiation with verbal promises of benefits on the job, I started this teaching job at a school located at Makoko Area, Yaba in March, 2023 but since then, no benefit has come forth rather the school owner, Mr. ***** negotiate the payment for extra school lesson with parents and paid me a meagre #5000/month.
This is a school where class teachers are not allowed to communicate with parents because of the school owners' dubious nature.
Sometimes in August, I approached the school to complain about the unfavourable work environment, and workload because I was teaching Mathematics and Further Mathematics for seniors, IGCSE Mathematics for seniors and Geography for seniors too but a meeting was scheduled immediately and I was harassed by the school owner who said it openly that "If dem born anybody well, make dem complain" and the school principal even issued a death threat to me saying that "He can slaughter anyone who wants to destroy his works" the anyone referring to me.
The paltry sum of #7,000 was later added to my salary. This is the same school where I spend an average of #1,200 on tfare daily and the school owner was aware of this from the beginning.
Need I say that he pays salary to any staff he likes at any time in the next month. He looks for every little mistake to deduct from the salary and the height of it is that today is the 5th of December, this man paid my colleagues for November, yesterday evening but left me out. I went to the principal's office to find out why this happened and the next thing the director and the principal did was to start investigating the exact colleague who told me about the November payment. Sometimes, it's as bad as trekking all the way from Mushin to Makoko area, Yaba in the morning and after work.
The Director has sacked more than 15 teachers in the past 2 years for no reason at all, even more than 20 teaching and non-teaching staff members had left the job due to his manipulative, greedy and harassing attitude.
I have a full report, ready to be submitted to all relevant authorities concerning the maltreatment of labour going on here.
Please advice me on what to do and kindly help me to get this to every concerned authorities. The greatest and worst exploiters are the proprietors ,they collect fees and pay peanuts to their workers. The problem of the private school teachers is lack of association and neglect by government as supervisory agent . 1 Like |

The matter took another turn today and the school owner called me to his office, with his wife and the school principal in attendance. He continued with his harassing words and said that I was not allowed to justify myself. At the end of the day, he said that today was the last day I would be working with him and that I would get my pay after several illegal deductions of his had been made. He was expecting me to beg but I didn't. The school principal pleaded with me to apologize to him but he insisted that I should wait at the reception because he felt like walking me out in an embarrassing way in front of the pupils. After several hours, the principal came back and told me that he wouldn't want to stop working with me and that the students like me, so the school owner has changed his mind provided that everything he says is the final. I just went to him to thank him, not because I'm guilty but because I've seen that he's not ready to change.

I am very sorry to hear this at @OP. We have been discussing this issue for a while and the unfortunate part is that most of these school owners have bribed the regulators (Ministry of Education and other agencies).
I am waiting for someone to tell me that a particular private school other than the ones in Lekki its environs (3M per term school fee) remitted staff statutory deductions (Pension, PAYE, NHF, HMO, etc.) in the last 12 months.
Funnily, they know how to pray and glorify the Lord in their various religion affiliations.
Like the popular 'Portable' quote, 'Person wey go help you no go stress you'.
It is high time that the Government intervened in the evaluation of the compliance level of these 'evil' proprietors/proprietress to the law of the land.
But are they going to enforce it? The school is located along Danny Estate, Makoko Area and the owner/Director is a Jehovah Witness. I find it difficult to believe that a Jehovah Witness could actually be so manipulative, harassing and greedy in nature. |

Almost 95% of Private school owners who are chriestians are either deacons or pastors in their churches, and are very religious but they treat their staff like slave.... More reasons I hate religious people and I can count how many times I stepped my foot in a church this year....,
I still wonder if there is God, or karma based on this fellows inhumanity to their fellow human being.
Their so called NAPPS union is like an occult group where they gather to discuss how to cut corners, manipulate things, make some unbearable laws/rules on how to cheat their teachers and maximize profit for themselves..,
It's very unfortunate that they seem to be the highest employer of labour due to the economic situation of the country, and our government and policy makers are not doing anything to safeguard private school teachers who find themselves under these people as slave and at their mercy.
No job security, no benefits and entitlement, the salary is nothing to write about, yet it's been cut at any slightest mistake.
I heard of a school in Kabusa, Abuja that does not pay December salary in every December, but rather pay it by January 27th, and pay that of January by February 14th, just to ensure that the teachers do not leave...... Just imagine! 2 Likes |
