We specialise in Remedial & Reading Therapy

Remedial Therapy

We support children with barriers to learning in the areas of Literacy, Numeracy and Perceptual Skills, with the aim of overcoming these obstacles. Your child will work through a structured therapy programme, giving your child the opportunity to make personal progress during the course of the therapy. We aim to ensure that your child feels confident and prepared to tackle the academic tasks that they face in the classroom.

Reading Therapy

The foundation to our approach is based on the Phono-Graphix reading and spelling programme which provides straight forward methods to assess and develop your child’s literacy skills. This programme allows children to build a solid foundation of the sounds and patterns in reading and spelling. We aim to create a passion for reading in your child and as your child's confidence in reading improves, you will see a visible increase in their ability and enjoyment.

Available Assessments

Our first interaction with a child will be in the form of an initial assessment. We offer assessments both in Literacy and Numeracy from Grade R to Grade 7. An Assessment Feedback Report is provided, which contains the results of the Assessment as well as the consequent recommendations. From the results of the assessment and the information provided a decision will be made on how to best proceed with the therapy programme.

Kristy Jackson

"Children make you laugh, challenge you, inspire you, and change your perceptions. Working with children is what drives me and I started the Kristy Jackson Therapy practice with the vision of making life a little easier for children that are struggling at school. Whether it is through rebuilding a child's self esteem or working through various academic tasks, I hope that the children I see for therapy feel better equipped to tackle their days at school in a confident and positive way."

Kelly Glover

"Children and Education are my absolute passion! During sessions with the children that I work with I hope to discover, learn and grow together! I strongly believe in creating a safe learning environment through continuous encouragement and support. I think it is beneficial to promote learner-based inquiry and centre the learning process around the student, rather than the teacher. I utilise multimodality within the learning space and in doing so, I feel that this allows every learner the opportunity to succeed as best as they can. I believe that each child is capable of being the best version of themselves and with a helping hand, they can achieve amazing things and reach their academic goals!"

Barbara Pawlowicz

"In my extensive journey of teaching and working with children in mainstream, learning assist schools, bridging classes and teaching private remedial lessons, both in the United Kingdom and in South Africa, I've discovered the transformative power of nurturing growth in children, especially when learning is a struggle. Every challenge becomes an opportunity for learning. It really is a testament to the resilience cultivated through dedicated encouragement. It's about more than just education, it's about acquiring a mindset that thrives on growth. I believe that each child has the potential to learn and by guiding and supporting them, they will blossom to be the best that they can be."

Chloe Woodhouse

"I am a passionate educator who believes in nurturing the whole learner, fostering an environment where they can thrive both academically and personally. My approach is all about encouraging curiosity, self-discovery and growth. I love creating an engaging and supportive environment where children feel confident to explore, ask questions and embrace their uniqueness. Using positivity and optimism during my sessions helps children to see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. By combining inquiry with lots of encouragement, I aim to inspire a love of learning that lasts. I truly believe in each child’s potential and work to build a space where they feel safe, valued and excited to be themselves. Every step of the way, I aim to motivate my learners as they discover their strengths and develop the confidence to achieve their goals!"
