Sithabile S - Tutor in Randjesfontein
My foundation qualification is in law. I spent the early stages of my career working in one of the top five law firms as an Associate in Shipping Law. I then took a gap year to teach English at Sukhothai Wittiyakom School in Thailand, as an ESL teacher. Upon return I started in the financial services industry and worked for the Office of the Ombud for Financial Services Providers where I hold the role of Assistant Ombud: Governance, Risk and Compliance where after 7 years I furthered my studies obtaining a certificate in Financial Planning and Masters in Business Leadership. During my time there I discovered that what I enjoyed most about business administration is empowering people and seeing them thrive and realize their goals. With that I have been exploring and actively applying for roles that feed this feeling. So I have considered tutoring as a good way to be grounded in the Higher Education sphere.

Experience / Education
Subjects taught
-
Law
This is my foundation and an area that I spent a considerable part of my life learning. I continue to learn in this area. My expertise in this area ranges from general (all the subjects in the bachelor of laws) to practical work found in the field. My favorite area of expertise is corporate law. I am in fact a corporate governance expert. Through my business studies I have been able to dovetail my legal training and business administration studies connecting the different functional areas with great interest.

Zulu
isiZulu is my mother tongue. I am born and bred in kwaZulu Natal. Learning a language has everything to do with understanding the culture and it’s nuances. So that is the value that I would bring to this subject. I also think that learning is multifaceted so adaptability to meet the student’s learning abilities is important for me. My approach to learning is not instructional rather supportive and open to exploring alternative means of learning by using technology.

Business Studies
I don’t know if I would be the best tutor but my approach to teaching is based on our level of engagement with the student. I think it is extremely important that the relationship be based on a meeting of minds on certain fundamentals. Mutual respect, eagerness to exchange ideas, interest in the student, encouragement and being receptive to this, and a passion for the subject itself.
