Teaching jobs in Abuja are divided into different categories based on the types of schools in the city. There are three main types of schools:

A-Class Schools
These schools cater to the super-rich and expatriates, often offering American or British curriculums. Tuition fees range from ₦3.5 million to ₦7.5 million per year, with some American schools even charging fees in dollars. To be hired as a teacher, you must have a Cambridge IGCSE certification for British schools or an Advanced Placement (AP) certification for American schools. Even if you have a Ph.D. or are a professor, you won't be hired without these certifications. These schools pay well, with starting salaries ranging from ₦300k to ₦500k (I recently helped a friend get a job at my school with a starting salary of ₦500k). Jobs at these schools are hard to come by since most staff stay long-term, and replacements are typically based on recommendations. These schools are also known for being secretive about their operations. Prominent A-Class schools include AISA, ICS, CTL, and TRS. Students from these schools typically go abroad for university education, often attending top universities worldwide.

B-Class Schools
B-Class schools are for middle-income earners, such as civil servants(those ones wey the steal our money) and others earning above ₦1 million per month. Tuition fees range from ₦500k to ₦3 million per year. These schools are typically Nigerian or a mix of Nigerian and British curriculums. Starting salaries for teachers range from ₦150k to ₦250k. It's easier to get a job here, but you need to be skilled and have a TRCN certification, along with a Cambridge IGCSE certification (though it's not always required). The work here can be very stressful. Notable B-Class schools include Loyola, NTIC, Centagon, Page Schools, and so on.

C-Class Schools
C-Class schools are typical Nigerian schools with fees below ₦150k. Teachers in these schools usually earn less than ₦100k to start, and the stress levels are very high. Even if you're a professor, you won't earn what you might expect because these schools simply can't afford to pay more.

Teaching in Abuja can be lucrative, but it depends on the type of school. The wealthier the school, the better the pay, even for private lessons. Teachers in A-Class schools typically charge by the hour and can earn at least ₦100k for 4 contacts or 8 hours a month.

What qualifications does your friend have? Does he know anyone working in an A-Class school? He should reach out because as a math teacher, he could earn a lot and live comfortably—assuming there are no overwhelming personal responsibilities.

PS. Don't stay in a shanty school and condemn the teaching profession. There are teachers who are earning like bank mangers or oil workers! Nobody told me - I know.
