Young teacher praised for her strict but gentle style of teaching
We love how consistent this teacher is with her students...
Teachers are well known for their ability to leave a lasting impression on their students.
That's the dream anyway. Not all teachers can be kind and strict, but many greats do it well.
A youthful and vibrant teacher, Thandolwethu, seems to have all the makings of a great teacher. She has been sharing snippets from her life as a Junior Prep Teacher, and social media users are addicted to her content—so much so that they have requested more.
Her authentic approach to teaching has a mix of honesty and a smidge of unforeseen humour. In one video, she is seen questioning her pupils about a rotten apple that was found in one of her students' lockers.
One person noted that she should be part of the top crimes unit at the South African Police Service (SAPS).

People have called her the detective mam, owning the iconic teacher stare, which we assume might be just as close to a mom stare, and have commended her for maintaining the right amount of strictness with the right amount of gentleness.
Check out another one of her videos, in which she gives two students a five-minute timeout to reflect on their actions.
