I had reached out to white hat junior as a volunteer to teach kids and share the knowledge I acquired through my education and work experience. I explicitly mentioned to them that I'm not looking for a salary. I have a stable job and free time to help upskill children who cannot afford a fee. A little background : I used to teach in India (for about 8 years along with my core job) but having moved to a new country, commuting became a little difficult and I gave it up. With an online platform such as white hat jr., I thought this would be really convenient for me and helpful for children.
And here is how they responded : only if you commit to 30 hours a week, can we onboard you because other teachers are competing.. This was obviously not possible for me, as I already have a job. My argument was - I am an experienced teacher, with 9+ years in the IT industry. And I don't even want money for my services, just be flexible to maybe 15-20 hours a week. This kept going on for a while, and then I realized that their cause is not to educate but make money. So I gave up.

Which was exposed by parents & the reviewer by the quality of classes, not to mention laughable tweets of the children putting up some random app on the app stores.
