It's not too stressful but the pay was bullshit before I left Bayelsa in 2006. Both govt and the school wasn't ready to take care of us but we used the ever available students kpekus to compensate our dear lives... grin grin grin tongue

You need to be good at expressing yourself a.k.a very articulate

Learn the art of storytelling, you'll need it alot to drive home your points and to keep the class interested in your lectures

Teaching is fun but the pay isn't

Lastly, do your best and leave the rest, children of this generation don't want to learn anyways, they are only interested in relationships angry
To keep the class interesting

Why waste your for 25k monthly job ? They are petty biz that pays better. You can even print a handbill, past them in a busy areas, those who need private teachers can contact you.. you will make more money from it..

If you are a guy, have nothing to do with the female students. Also, do not play with them too much to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

However, working in a private school is modern slavery. I did for eight years.
I hope you able to get good shit out of it

It will advance your knowledge .but have it in back of your mind,that you will teach more than a subject..as a biologist,you should be able to offer Agriculture science, basic science and technology,if possible, maths.

I'm a corper currently teaching in a private school. The pay is very meagre. It is not easy to be a teacher, but you'd enjoy it eventually, because you will also learn a great deal.

I recently applied for a teaching job recently within my local government and they promised to get back to me. It's a secondary school and I would be teaching biology and a yet to be known subject. Pay is 25k per month.

I just wanna know what teaching job is like as this would be my first time teaching.

Be careful with secondary school girls. They are very manipulative and can put you in big mess.

Well today was my first day as a teacher. Mehn those student were bored as hell. It's like their attention doesn't cross 5 mins. The lesson note the school required me to make is like I am back to high institution.

This is my dream. I have read numerous books for this. Marilee Adams( teaching that saves live still stuck with me) . Well for the girls I have nothing to do with them other than teach them. My problem now is one of my subject is only for just one student and she is a female.


Can you recommend any of the book?

Do u intend to build a career in teaching

Not too stressful compared to primary school, just know your onion. Also bear it in mind that you will be teaching jss1-ss3(minimum of 2 subjects) learn how to write lesson note too. They will prolly teach you.

Teaching is modern day slavery but then not too many jobs on this country. Nothing to enjoy about teaching, I so much dislike it.

Lesson notes will drain you...while u are on it,try and explore other opportunities.
One thing with teaching is that it won't give you opportunities for other jobs, you can stay teaching for years, whiling away your precious time building someone else's organization and making meagre money.

Kids of nowadays are the most difficult to deal with.
Apart from teaching them, be ready to fight occasionally with some of their parents who are ill-mannered, unless you are not the disciplinarian kind, anyways. And if you are too tolerant, the children will successfully frustrate the hell out of you.
If you are mentally tough, all the challenges will make you a stronger person going forward, but if you ain't, I'll advise you not to take the job, to avoid depression.

But if your mind is already made up, then you can use home lessons to add up to the meagre salary.

Omo!! The comments I've seen so far are so demeaning and have portrayed teaching to be a no-go area for job seekers, especially for youths.
And to say I'm just 19 years of age and I'll be starting my teaching practice in a government school at my place is embarassed embarassed cry cry

Teaching is so stressful. I'm currently teaching in a private school and they pay me 20k in a month, I use up to 8k for transportation. I teach 3 subjects, JSS1 to JSS3. I'm expected to write lesson notes for all subjects, but I only choose to write for just 1 subject (that's 3 lesson notes), myself and the school director had so many issues on that lesson note. But it is what it is, that's what I want to do. So they will want to use you like hell, that's for Sure.
