To a parent/student. Keep itand specific.
Here’s a simple structure that works well:
*1. Start with who you are and what you teach*
Hi, I’m a Mathematics tutor for JSS 1-3 and SS 1-3 students in Nigeria.
*2. Say how you teach*
I focus on making tough topics simple using examples from daily life.
I give practice questions after every class so students actually understand.
*3. Add a result or style point*
My goal is to help students stop fearing Math and start scoring A and B.
I’m patient, explain step-by-step, and adjust to each student’s pace.
*4. End with a call to action*
Book a trial class with me and let’s work on your weak topics
*Important rules:*
- No phone number, WhatsApp, email, address. TeacherOn will block it.
- No spelling mistakes. Keep it 4-6 lines max.
- Be honest. Don’t say “10 years experience” if it’s not true.
Tell me:
1. What subjects and classes do you teach?
2. Any experience, even home tutoring?
I’ll write you a full profile description you can paste right in.

This is the *Fee* section on TeacherOn. You’re setting how much you charge per hour in Naira.
Here’s how to fill it for a new tutor:
*1. I charge: Hourly*
Leave it as “Hourly” - that’s standard for tutors.
*2. Minimum fee*
Put your lowest rate. For new tutors in Nigeria, most put *₦2000 - ₦3000*.
Example: `2500`
*3. Maximum fee*
Put your highest rate. This can be for higher classes like SS3 or if you have more experience.
Example: `4000`
*4. Fee Details*
Explain when the fee changes. Keep it short:
₦2500/hour for JSS 1-3. ₦3500/hour for SS 1-3.
First 10 min trial class is free.
Discount for 4+ classes per week.
*Quick tip*:
- If you’re just starting, keep it between ₦2000-₦3500/hour. You can increase it later after you get reviews.
- Don’t put ₦0 or leave it blank - parents won’t take you seriously.
What grade and subjects are you teaching? I’ll give you the exact numbers to put.
