Samkelo Mhlophe, a Life Sciences and Physics teacher at Makhumbuza High School, uses TikTok to share lessons with pupils and parents.

Samkelo Mhlophe, 28, has garnered more than 1.6 million views for each of the two Life Sciences videos he has on TikTok.

"Posting videos on social media is about helping learners. TikTok is a huge platform, and learners can download videos. I didn't expect to have 1.6 million views. Thousands worldwide and in neighbouring countries have downloaded my videos. Some have asked for more videos and for me to upload more on YouTube. The more it trends, the more it helps people," he said.

"I find trending songs and change them into a lesson. If learners can have songbooks, they can memorise. What if I change a song into a lesson? Surely, they will remember it. According to Mhlophe, being a Grade 12 teacher is challenging. He said diversifying his teaching approach to accommodate the needs of all his pupils helped to achieve the quality of passes he wanted.Whatever works for one learner cannot work with all learners. As a teacher, you must self-introspect and ask what you do wrong or right. It is great that learners pass the subject, but how are they passing? Quantity versus quality is a huge issue.
