Little Readers. Big Strides.

Highly recommended reading teacher!

We have had the most wonderful experience with Nathalie teaching reading to our Grade R daughter. Before starting these classes, she was quite hesitant and easily frustrated by letter sounds. Nathalie completely turned that around by making every lesson engaging, interactive, and beautifully suited for early childhood development.

Instead of strict drills, the lessons incorporate phonics games and storytelling that keep a Grade R learner fully engaged. What we love most is how much our daughter’s confidence has grown. She no longer guesses words based only on pictures; she is sounding them out.

Nathalie is patient, incredibly encouraging, and has given our daughter the perfect foundation for reading just before she starts Grade 1. We cannot thank you enough!

We have been so impressed with our five-year-old son Matteo’s reading classes. From the very beginning, we could see how much he enjoyed the lessons, and it has been amazing to watch his confidence and reading skills grow. The classes are fun, engaging and age-appropriate, making learning something he genuinely looks forward to each week. … His progress has been incredible, and we are so proud of how far he has come. We highly recommend these classes to any parent looking to give their child a fun, engaging and strong foundation in reading.

My son Elijah absolutely loved attending his phonics classes with Teacher Nathalie. He looked forward to every lesson and always came home excited to tell us what he had learned. Teacher Nathalie created such a positive and encouraging environment. The rewards after each class motivated him and made learning fun. I also loved the pictures and activities in each lesson. I have definitely noticed a positive difference in his reading. Now that he is in Grade 2, I can see that he has a much better understanding and recognition of letter sounds, which has helped his reading and confidence. I am grateful for the patience, encouragement and effort that went into every lesson. The classes made learning enjoyable while giving him a strong foundation that he is still benefiting from in Grade 2. I highly recommend these classes to any parent looking to give their child extra support with reading and letter sounds.

Why can’t all my Grade 1’s have gone through your programme?

You run an excellent reading programme that equips and prepares our little ones for big school. It is full of fun activities that help children learn to read, recognise sounds and letters, and grow in confidence from an early age. What makes it special is how memorable the whole experience is: the children remember what they learned, but they also remember the fun. Unfortunately, Golan could not join again this year because of the school schedule, which was disappointing, but he learned so much — and he still talks about it. I would definitely recommend the programme to other parents.

My little girl, Ilithyia, started classes with Nathalie when she was in Grade R. The classes were interactive and fun, and the children learned while enjoying themselves. She progressed in her ability to pronounce sounds, recognise words and even started reading short sentences. She could not wait for Wednesdays to attend her phonics class. I highly recommend Nathalie’s reading classes to strengthen a child’s reading ability.

The reading programme is such a fun and interactive way to encourage children to love reading. My son enjoyed every moment and could recognise sounds and sight words at the age of five after only six months on the programme.

We have had such a wonderful experience with the classes. From the very beginning, the teacher was patient, kind and encouraging with Tailyn, and it has made such a positive difference in his learning journey. We have noticed a big improvement in his confidence with sounds, letters and words. He is becoming more comfortable recognising sounds and trying to put them together, and it has been lovely to see his progress.

What I appreciate most is that learning is made fun and enjoyable rather than pressured. Tailyn looks forward to his lessons and enjoys the activities and engaging way everything is presented. The teacher’s patience and willingness to work at his pace have helped him feel more confident and willing to participate. As a parent, it gives me peace of mind knowing that he is receiving extra support from someone who genuinely cares about his progress. I can definitely see the difference these classes are making.

Teacher Nathalie suggested the programme about a year and a half ago to aid our son in his reading journey, and we have been absolutely amazed by the progress he has made. He is now much more comfortable sounding out words, recognising sounds and putting them together to read independently. His reading has improved so much, we know he will start Grade 1 with so much more confidence in his ability to read.

We are so grateful for the patience and encouragement from Nathalie that has helped our son develop such a strong foundation in reading, we couldn’t be happier with his progress. Thank you, Nathalie, for all you’ve done for him.

I am incredibly grateful for the extra reading classes my daughter attended with Nathalie’s extra reading classes whilst she was in Grade R. The classes made such a big difference in preparing her for Grade 1.

We saw a noticeable improvement in her reading ability, confidence and understanding of words and sounds. She became more comfortable with reading and developed a much more positive attitude towards it. The extra support gave her a strong foundation and helped make the transition into Grade 1 so much easier.

We truly believe that these classes benefited her tremendously and gave her the confidence and skills she needed to start Grade 1 on the right foot. We highly recommend the reading classes to any parent looking to give their child that extra bit of support and preparation. Thank you for all the effort, patience and care!
