About Makhute Extra Lessons
Our story, mission, and the people behind our success
A Humble Beginning in Lephepane Village
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."
