From Classroom to 6 Figure Salary: Teaching & Earning in Canada| My High School Teaching Experience

Hi guys, today in this video I will be sharing my experiences as a first-time high school teacher in Canada, breaking barriers and working towards achieving a six-figure income.
Join me in this empowering video where I not only shared how I navigate the challenges of the classroom but also advocate for greater representation of Black educators in Canada. Through personal stories, practical advice, and a commitment to diversity, I aim to inspire and empower Black individuals to pursue careers in teaching. Let's rewrite the narrative together and pave the way for a more inclusive and prosperous future in education.

I’m a school teacher in Nigeria currently working in a government school. A lot of Nigerian teacher already have this low esteem about the job and it’s majorly because of the financial aspect and how they are being treated by their employers. I’m currently working on my PR to Canada and I have it in mind to switch career as well, but with this video, I’ d have a rethink cos I really love being a teacher but the way teaching profession is being done here is a No No. Thank you Oyin for the enlightenment 🤍

[@ayodejimosopefoluwa7527]

Pls how are you doing it. Like applying for PR and how can one apply for a teaching Job in Canada. Is there like a site? Pls I'll really appreciate it if you can pls explain. Thank you.

[@oyindamolaalao]

The honest truth is that it is hard initially to adjust to the system but over time, the system grows on you and you will see yourself even doing so well. I can’t wait to hear that you are here in Canada o, please the teaching food needs more Nigerian teachers 💙

Great video, very inspiring. Well done 👍. The experience may not be different from UK. Without passion for teaching, an overseas trained teacher would consider switching to another field. Teaching abroad is very demanding.

I'm an NCE holder, if I want to come to Canada, what can i do? Because I know the certificate is more or less than nothing but I still want to teach

[@oyindamolaalao]

You need to get here first and send a msg to the body but I’m sure they will still require you take a bachelors of education degree

[@Joypopins]

Arggghhh, Oyin you are bold oh. I dont think i have patience to teach kids who press phones in class while i teach. How do you overlook though?

[@oyindamolaalao]

So the issue is we keep telling them please keep your phones, they are actual respectful, they are just teenagers whose phone is their priority, once you say keep your phones they listen and keep it and once their attention is cut away again they take out the phones🤣 the good thing is they are really good kids so we keep shouting keep your phones o🤣

[@olayideemmanuel]

Thank you for making this video Sis... How can I convert into teaching in Canada? What are the steps to take?.

[@oyindamolaalao]
