Foundation Phase- Numeracy
I have so much love and empathy for young children, and I enjoy the fun they bring into lessons because of their positive energy. Establishing a solid base in Foundation Phase Numeracy skills is important.
Geography
I am a qualified high school Geography Teacher, and have been teaching the subject for the past 7 years.
Homework
I am a passionate and caring mother who enjoys supervising homework because it is at the intersection between home and school life. It serves as a window through which you can observe, and have a positive impact on, a children’s education.
Human and Social Sciences
A very intriguing subject that watches where society has been heading and what more can be done to benefit the entire race. I love the fact that Social Science is both subjective and objective, pushing the learner into thinking independently.
Life Orientation
I have taught guidance and counselling, and I find it fun. I also believe that establishing a good character is one of the pillars of success in the learning process.
Life Sciences (Biology)
Life Sciences (Biology) is one of the foundations for all medical jobs. Through my teaching experiences, most students find the subject intriguing as it makes them, and their physical bodies, the centre of their own learning.
Mathematics
I believe that Maths is not just about numbers. Maths is also about learning to reason logically and convincingly.
Natural Science
Nature is being positively and negatively modified and I find that intriguing and enjoy teaching Natural Science.
Chemistry
I was given the opportunity to teach a Grade 8 Chemistry class, and have I enjoyed teaching the subject ever since. Chemistry is a fun subject because it is a big part of our everyday life.
English
I have been teaching English Language (1st & 2nd language) for the past 7 years and love it to bits. English improves an individual’s linguistic skills, thereby making one adept in comprehending the complexities of the language’s grammar.
Foundation Phase- Literacy
I love working with young children, and adore the way their adventurous minds work. Establishing a solid base in Foundation Phase Literacy skills is important.
Social Science
Social Science is an interesting subject that completely involves one as a learner, and makes it fun to teach/learn.
Zulu
My passion for the language inspired me to choose two Zulu novels when I was doing my A-levels and College. I also love the rich customs and culture of the Zulu people which I try and bring into the lessons with my beginners.
English
I have been teaching English Language (1st & 2nd Language) successfully for the past seven years. My students have attained good results in IGSCE and AP exams.
TEFL
I have been teaching EFL successfully for two years with students ranging from 10-32 years. My passion, patience and persistence have made me love the subject more and more. I also love the fact that the classes are innovative and intensive.
Zulu
I speak, read and write five African languages with Zulu and IsiNdebele being the subjects I studied from high school throughout college. I also love the rich Zulu customs and culture which they have successfully preserved.

“Nkazimulo is a great tutor as she is able to relate and engage with Makayla at her level and guides Makayla to work on areas that she is struggling with in isiZulu. She is a very attentive tutor and Makayla loves her to bits so much so that she looks forward to her Saturday morning lessons with Nkazimulo (at least most of the times). Nkazimulo provides me with feedback and guidance as a parent on ways to help Makayla. There is much more learning and tutoring ahead, and Nkazimulo has made this learning journey easy and fun for us!”
