This is a Nigerian platform that pays you to become a tutor. Their payment is around 30,000 to 100,000 naira. However, you should understand that you will not get this in a day. You will have to pass through a verification process, and once you are verified and you have proven to be consistent with lots of reviews, then your pay will increase. Per hour, you will be paid around 5000 naira.
To get started.
