Eunice Makwindi

With over 30 years of distinguished teaching experience, I am passionate about empowering students
through a dynamic and inclusive approach to mathematics. My teaching philosophy emphasizes
critical thinking, problem-solving, and confidence-building, ensuring every student excels. Specializing
in the IGCSE curriculum, I focus on delivering academic excellence while remaining culturally sensitive,
having taught in international private schools that value diversity and global perspectives.
Throughout my career, I have consistently driven remarkable results in IGCSE Mathematics. At Maseru
Private Academy, I currently hold the record for a 100% pass rate in IGCSE from 2019 to 2023, with
numerous students achieving A* and A grades. My dedication to improving student outcomes is
evident in my earlier achievements, where I raised the Junior Certificate pass rate from 19% in 2008
to 84% in 2016, leading the school to first place in the district.
Recognized for my expertise in the IGCSE curriculum, I have facilitated workshops on advanced
teaching methods and contributed to district-level educational initiatives. I am excited to bring my
extensive experience and proven track record to your institution, with a strong commitment to
fostering student success, driving academic excellence, and promoting a culturally responsive learning
environment.
