UK-based mum calls out online teacher over fees
Identified as @dammyfoodadventure on TikTok, the woman mentioned the amount she was charged and wondered if it was out of greed.
The woman said:
“A teacher in Nigeria charged me N300,000 for one-hour session, twice a week for my child and all I can think of is why is people so greedy? Are you being paid that amount even as a full time teacher in Nigeria?
"This particular teacher I’m talking about is the same teacher that is teaching my nephew and she charged them N30,000 per month for two hours per day, three times in a week and you will enter transport.
“I did not even say you will charge me N30,000. What happened to N80k? What happened to N100k? So because I’m abroad you think I have money."
The video was captioned:
"What is your take on this matter ? Are they over doing it ? Are they greedy? Or it is a normal price to pay? Kindly let me know."

We are not greedy teachers. Online classes are different your child receives personalized attention, and we invest heavily in resources priced in dollars. In addition, the tools and data required to deliver quality lessons are quite expensive.

Parents gladly pay premium prices for gadgets, clothes, and convenience, but hesitate when it comes to the person shaping their child’s confidence, language, and future. A teacher’s fee reflects expertise, emotional labour, preparation, patience, and results. If it’s not within reach, that’s okay .someone else will be. But dragging teachers for charging their worth needs to stop. And No she is not greedy

I’m an online tutor and I don’t charge like that. That amount is outrageous though.

Sorry ma, it is because she knows some people pay 50 pounds per day and the children will play throughout the day. So if her 1 hour session works for your kid, she feels she deserves more... But please ma, I'm not among o. I charge ₦10k per hour and you will see result in a short period.
