At Makhute Extra Lessons, we provide personalized tutoring for CAPS and IEB syllabuses from Grade 4 to 12. Our motto "Perfect Your Thinking" guides our approach to education.
Our story, mission, and the people behind our success
Founded in 2015 by Mr. Makhute Freddy Motloutsi, Makhute Extra Lessons began as a small initiative in a modest office at Dimpeng trading center in Lephepane village, Limpopo. What started as physical classes with a handful of students quickly grew, driven by a passion to make quality education accessible. Officially registered in 2020, the organization expanded from Lephepane to other regions, embracing online platforms to reach learners across South Africa. Today, our head office stands in Cosmo City, Johannesburg—a testament to our growth and commitment.
Our unique "Perfect Your Thinking" approach focuses on developing critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a growth mindset. We believe that when students learn how to think, they can conquer any academic challenge.
"To empower every South African student with the thinking tools, knowledge, and confidence to achieve academic excellence and lifelong learning success."
With a vision to extend Makhute Extra Lessons' impact beyond academics, Alima Milazi leads the organization with a focus on holistic student development. Under her leadership, the company has expanded its reach through online platforms and strategic tutor networks across multiple regions in South Africa.
Ms. Milazi works closely with founder Mr. Makhute to ensure every tutor embodies the "Perfect Your Thinking" philosophy. Her dedication to fostering a supportive community has been instrumental in building strong partnerships with parents and learners alike.
