Diploma in Hospitality Year 1 students share some insights on the lecturers who inspire them to be better people and can say they look up to them more.
“Miss A Ndwandwe and Miss N Thabethe. They set a positive example, inspire us with their passion, and make learning feel like an experience rather than a task.” These are the lecturers who students look forward to seeing every week, the ones who turn classrooms into spaces of energy, motivation, and growth.
What makes them stand out is not just their knowledge, but the way they connect with students. They are approachable, easy to interact with, and always willing to listen. Their passion for teaching shows in every lesson, and it’s this energy that makes students enjoy being around them. For many, it’s more than just academics; it’s about feeling understood, supported, and encouraged to do better.
Students often say that if it were up to them, they would have lessons with these lecturers almost every day. Why? Because these lecturers make complicated topics easier to understand and never make students feel left behind. Instead, they create an atmosphere where learning is both enjoyable and meaningful.
“Inspiring lecturers don’t just teach subjects they leave a mark on our hearts and minds. They remind us why education matters, not only for grades but for personal growth and the belief that we can achieve more. Their influence extends beyond the classroom, shaping the way we think, act, and aspire to be.”
So, here’s to the lecturers who inspire students daily, thank you for being role models, motivators, and guides.
Miss A Ndwandwe, Accounting Lecturer.
