Our story

Welcome to Notes and Novels with Miss Ngwane! At Notes and Novels, learning goes beyond the classroom. It is an exploration of language, literature, and self expression. Founded by Siphumelele Ngwane, an English Home Language and History Teacher with over 6 years of teaching experience, this plaform is dedicated to helping learners reach their full potential through engaging, creative, and meaningful study. With experience spanning both high and tertiary education, Siphumelele combines her academic background in English Literature, Classical Civilizations, and History with her passion for the written word to make English and History accessible, relatable, and inspiring. Her approach focuses on nurturing confidence, critical thinking, and authentic understanding, thus encouraging learners to connect what they learn to the world around them. At the heart of Notes and Novels is a belief that every student deserves a stimulating, inclusive, and supportive environment where they can grow mentally, emotionally, and academically. Whether through exam preparation, essay support, or creative enrichment, Siphumeleles goal is to help learners not only excel in their studies but also discover the joy of language and heritage by discovering the power of their own voice.
