German Language School offers N1 million compensation

The school concluded by wishing her well in her future endeavours. The German Language School's full statement read:
"Dear Lizabeth (@Seyi_Funmiiiii),
"Thank you for your honesty and for handling this situation with such integrity and professionalism. We truly appreciate the effort, time, and enthusiasm you put into onboarding people for the trial classes — you did an outstanding job representing us and bringing your audience along with genuine care and determination. Your commitment to quality and to protecting the trust of those who look up to you is something we deeply respect.
"We're genuinely sorry for the disappointment caused by the recent trial session. The teacher assigned was new and unfortunately unfamiliar with the online equipment and setup, which led to a disorganized and subpar experience that fell far below our usual standards — and far below what you had every right to expect when you chose to collaborate with us. This was entirely on our end, not a reflection of your judgment or the value you brought.
"To acknowledge your good work, your trust in us, and the inconvenience + credibility impact this caused you, we'd like to offer you ₦1,000,000 (One Million Naira) as compensation. This is our way of taking full responsibility and showing appreciation for how gracefully you've handled everything.
"Please let us know a preferred way to send this, and we'll handle it promptly. No strings attached — we simply want to make this right as best we can.
"We wish you continued success in your journey as a polyglot, virtual assistant, and content creator. You deserve opportunities that match your high standards and talent."
