What Makes
Thuma Mina Teaching Special
One-click
accessibility
Ease of access is key to uptake and consistent usage. That’s why we leverage familiar video platforms such as YouTube, ensuring that understanding is just one click away.
Whole curriculum
roadmap
Each subject is organised as a “playlist” – a step-by-step roadmap that guides learners and teachers through the full subject curriculum in a logical, CAPS-aligned order.
The highest quality,
for free
Our funding model enables us to offer our video resources free-of-charge, but each lesson has over 45 hours of expert educational and creative input behind it – offering unprecedented value.
Reimagined,
not replicated
We don’t just deliver content; we bring it to life. With engaging teachers and relatable examples, TMT lessons make complex subjects digestible, unlocking understanding and practical skills learners can apply.
Professionally
produced
There is an entire team behind each TMT video lesson including a subject matter expert, learning designer, peer reviewer, project manager, field-based presenter and video editor.
A resource,
not a replacement
Our tools are designed to support the teachers who use them, not replace them. Our free teacher training guides users on how best to leverage our lessons for in-classroom and after-school use and engagement.
“I Finally Understand.”
This moment – the one where confusion gives way to clarity, and suddenly, it all makes sense – that’s why we exist. To make sure no learner feels left behind, and no teacher feels out of their depth.
To provide that extra layer of explanation, of relatability and patience that helps to unlock real understanding and curriculum mastery. This is how Thuma Mina Teaching closes the gap between falling behind and staying on track.
Thuma Mina has brought so much light to my teaching career as an EMS teacher. I appreciate the quality that they are providing to teachers.
I got less then 10% for accounting on my report, because I didn’t understand nothing. Now I am teaching my friends. Thank you so much!
I am very grateful for these lessons, today I just got awarded top achiever for EMS in my circuit.
