When I first met Sam, he was two years behind his peers in reading and writing. His shoulders were slumped. He had convinced himself he was dumb and would argue over everything. His self-esteem was low.

Reading was hard and frustrating. His writing? Three words to a line, skipping alternate lines, totalling about 15 words with nothing he felt proud of.

After 30 hours together:
Sam learned specialised tools and strategies that made learning easier. Six months later, his teacher phoned to tell me he had advanced two whole years in both reading and writing. He was writing seven to eight paragraph stories and was right up with his peers.

Two years later:
Sam is still working at the same level as his peers, achieving success across all subjects, confident and happy within himself.

Carter had attended both public and private schools. Yet he still couldn't read.

His mother, a former kindergarten teacher, decided to homeschool him because his mental health was suffering. Nothing had worked for him no matter how many interventions they tried.

Before working with me, Carter was constantly guessing at words, had no strategies to decode unknown text, and found sounding out words frustrating and exhausting. His feelings of inadequacy were growing.

After learning his specialised tools and completing consistent follow-up:
Carter went from being a non-reader to reading at a nine-year-old level within a year.

Tyson couldn't read or write at all. The thought of reading would cause huge meltdowns.

When we went through the alphabet together, we discovered he had been singing the alphabet song incorrectly since kindergarten. He didn't actually know six or seven letters of the alphabet. Without that foundation, making sense of words was almost impossible.

Within one month:
Once we found his missing alphabet pieces and introduced a new method, his confidence grew quickly. He exceeded his teacher's expectations and advanced at least two reading levels.
