What lessons cover

From a family in Los Angeles

After one free demo lesson, a Grade 6 boy asked to keep his TeachConnect tutor.

Mr I., a Nigerian father in Los Angeles, asked to see a tutor teach percentages to his son before deciding. After the demo he chose to move his son's lessons to TeachConnect: his son preferred our tutor to the online tutor he had before. Your first intro call is free too.

Questions US parents ask

Will the time difference work?

Yes, with the right slot. Nigeria is 5 or 6 hours ahead of New York and 8 or 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles, depending on the season. Weekend mornings and early afternoons in the US fall in the Nigerian afternoon and evening and work best. Late US evenings fall after midnight in Nigeria, so agree the slot with the tutor first.

Do tutors follow my child's school?

Yes. Share the syllabus, textbook or the assignment itself and the tutor teaches to it. Say your child's grade and state when you request.

How do we pay from abroad?

Lessons are priced in Nigerian Naira and paid by bank transfer to a Nigerian account we set up for your family. Most families use the money-transfer app they already use to send money to Nigeria. You pay for a pack of 4, 8 or 12 lessons only after the free intro call.

How much does a lesson cost?

Families in Nigeria pay ₦6,000 per 1-hour online lesson for nursery, primary and JSS, and ₦8,000 for SS1–3, WAEC, NECO and JAMB. For families abroad, lessons start from ₦10,000 per 1-hour lesson, paid in Naira by bank transfer; the exact price depends on level and subject and is confirmed before you pay. The request and the first 15-minute intro call are free.
