About Lerato
Hi, I’m Lerato Mthethwa!
I’m a Student Teacher from Durban and I absolutely love working with primary school kids 🤍
I’m currently studying my Bachelor of Education, so I’m learning the newest teaching methods and I understand the CAPS curriculum really well.
**Why I teach:**
I believe every child can do well in Maths and English with the right support. I know school can feel overwhelming sometimes, so my job is to make learning calm, fun, and confidence-boosting.
**About me:**
- Patient and encouraging - I explain things as many times as needed
- Creative - I use games, stories, and real-life examples in class
- Reliable - I’m on time, prepared, and I keep parents updated
When I’m not teaching, I love reading and helping kids discover how fun learning can be.
I can’t wait to meet you and your child and help them feel proud of their learning!

*How my lessons work:**
Every lesson is 60 minutes and made just for your child.
**For Maths Grade 1-7:**
We start by reviewing homework or what was tricky at school. Then we learn 1 new concept step-by-step using pictures, real examples, and games. We end with 2-3 practice questions to make sure it’s stuck.
Topics: Times tables, fractions, word problems, geometry, problem solving - all CAPS aligned.
**For English Grade 1-7:**
We do a mix of reading, speaking, and writing. We read a short story or passage, learn 3-4 new vocabulary words, practise grammar, and do fun writing activities. The goal is confidence + better marks.
Topics: Comprehension, grammar, spelling, creative writing, oral practice.
**What makes my lessons different:**
- Patient and encouraging - no stress, only support
- Lots of praise and small rewards to keep kids motivated
- I send parents a quick message after class with what we did
- Homework help is always welcome
All you need is a book, pencil, and for online lessons: Zoom + stable intern
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I know Lerato as my Maths tutor on Superprof. She is super patient and explains things in a way that actually makes sense, even when I was really struggling with the basics.
During our lessons she helped me go from failing tests to feeling confident in class. She always came prepared and made sure I understood before moving on.
I highly recommend Lerato to any student who needs help with Maths. She is reliable, encouraging, and really cares that you improve.I highly recommend Ms. Mthethwa as a math teacher. She is good at breaking down difficult concepts into simple steps. She explains everything so clearly and actually cares if you understand.
I highly recommend Lerato Mthethwa as an English tutor. I have known her for a long time and have always admired her patience, kindness and strong work ethic. She is an excellent communicator who is dedicated and patient it’s also fun learning with her she makes learning very easy
