My name is Sipiwe Maseko, and I am proud to be a Agent of Change. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Johannesburg. I am certified to teach FET Tourism and Business studies as well as Senior Phase EMS Education. This will be my 6th year teaching. I have a true passion for working with our learners!! Helping each child progress in all areas of their development—academic, social, language, and motor—is a challenge that I am honoured to accept daily. I strive to create a community of learners that nurtures this growth in a positive, fun environment. My teaching philosophy is very simple learners do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Teaching at a Quintile 4 High school where the poverty rate is 96% of learners, caring is what they need first, after they know I care then they open up their heart and mind and I can teach them. I show my caring by forming relationships with my learners and trying to help them find their dreams and strengths so they can believe in themselves the way I believe in them. Either way they are the future and have unlimited value.
