Her tweet caught the German Language School's attention, and they publicly offered her a job, which she later publicly accepted.
In a sharp turn of events, Oluwaseyifunmi has quit her job at the German Language School and explained her decision on X.
Why Oluwaseyifunmi left German Language School work
In a tweet on February 10, Oluwaseyifunmi explained that she carried out her due diligence on the school, including attending their classes and reviewing their social media handles, before accepting to work for them and recommending and inviting the public to the school's free trial class.
However, to her disappointment, the actual trial class she had recommended to her audience was a far cry from the quality, coordination and preparedness she had earlier experienced, leading to a loss of trust and credibility with her audience.
She maintained that she chose to stop working and collaborating with the school entirely because their activities do not align with her standards.
Oluwaseyifunmi's full statement read:
"I am no longer affiliated with The German Language School.
"For clarity and Transparency:
"Before working with them, I personally attended their classes, reviewed their social media platforms, and assessed their structure. Based on that, I agreed to collaborate and publicly invited my audience to a free trial class.
"I put in a lot of work onboarding everyone according to our agreement. I handled communication personally, answered questions, shared links, sent reminders, and made sure people showed up. I took that responsibility seriously.
Unfortunately, the actual trial sessions did not reflect the quality, coordination, or preparedness I had observed earlier or felt comfortable recommending. This led to a loss of trust and credibility with my audience, which I take seriously.
"As a result, I chose to withdraw fully rather than continue endorsing something that didn’t align with my standards. I’ve communicated this privately to the school and transparently to those I onboarded.
"I wish them well going forward, but I am no longer involved in any capacity."
