@SammykayWhite, the TikTok teacher, is popularly known to give life sciences classes in isiZulu to help students easily grasp difficult concepts in their native tongue. The Grade 12 teacher has 250K followers and has gone viral numerous times for his teaching style and techniques with learners.

The proof of his method is in the pudding as learners sing along with him

In a recent post he made, the TikTokker came across a group of his learners as he was driving, and they recited one of his teachings in a song. The teacher recorded the entire thing while jamming with them in his car.

TikTok teacher often breaks into songs to teach his students so they can retain information

His teaching style isn't limited to teaching in isiZulu - he would also use songs with his learners when explaining concepts or ideas.

Our "cement" memory capacity is limited, making it difficult to retain new information. Consequently, knowledge learned in biology may not stick and is quickly forgotten, especially as we age and our memories become saturated. According to a New York Times article, the challenge with learning as we get older is not because we struggle to absorb new information, but rather, we struggle to forget old information.

While catchy tunes can stay in our minds for an extended period, other information may not stick. One way to overcome this is by creating songs to help with studying. This strategy could work because our brains have limited memory capacity.
