Online tools have changed how South Africans study. You can watch a lesson, join a class discussion and send in an assignment without leaving your home in Soweto, Durban or Cape Town.
At Sizwe Online Institute, every course has a clear weekly plan. You always know what to read and what is due.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go. Dr. SeussIf a tool confuses you, ask early. Our tutors, including Pieter van der Merwe, reply to questions within one working day and gladly walk you through each step.
Choose tools that suit you
You do not need many apps. A reliable phone, a notes app and a simple calendar are enough. Add reminders for every deadline so that assignments never catch you by surprise.
Stay in touch with your tutor
Write to your tutor when you are stuck. A short question early saves hours of frustration later, and it shows that you are taking your studies seriously.
