“Why Students at Reach Your Potential Tutoring Centres are Happier, Less Stressed, Have a Better Self-Image, Improve Faster & Learn More Life Skills Than Any Other Tutoring Around.

“From Not Being Able To Read to Potential School Leader!”

(Paige aged 10 Dyslexic)

Kylie Mallet (Paige’s mother) when recently asked how Paige was coping at school, responded with an excited, “She’s picked up 10 fold! Paige’s teacher said she’s picked up a whole grade in most things.”

“When we started with Reach Your Potential Tutoring Centres, Paige was very low in comparison to the other children, struggling with English and couldn’t read properly or do complex sentences. Now, because she has picked up with speaking, she is putting in for a leadership role at school. At the start of the year, she was keeping herself back because she was afraid people would laugh at her because she couldn’t read. Paige wouldn’t be where she is now without Reach Your Potential Tutoring Centres help.”

“Are You Scared Your Child Is Falling Behind The Rest Of Their Classmates?”

Hi, my name is Diana Vogel & that is exactly what happened the year my son started school. The year I discovered first hand the devastating effects of having a child with an undiagnosed learning difficulty. You see my beautiful child was the last person anyone expected to have difficulty at school.

He was bright, intelligent, articulate and confident. His social skills were amazing and he had no difficulty communicating at a high verbal level. Often people were amazed by his maturity and his insights.

How quickly things can change! By the third week of Prep, I knew there was a problem. By the eighth week I knew it was serious. But the trouble was, no one else seemed concerned. No one else was alarmed by the change in my child.

My child underwent a complete personality change. He went from being a bright, happy, optimistic and bubbly child to being a sullen, withdrawn, moody and angry one.

When I voiced my concerns with his teacher, they were dismissed. “Oh, he’s just being lazy. If he’d just try harder. You have nothing to worry about, some kids just take a little longer to adjust to being at school. Relax, he’ll be fine.”

Except, he wasn’t fine! He was far from being fine. He was hurting. He was frustrated and his self-esteem was being rapidly eaten away by a teacher who was just short of being abusive. My precious child was being destroyed.

Dramatic? Not really. The truth of that time still reduces me to tears – and that was 8 years ago. When I think of it and the “solutions” I allowed them to force on my son, I feel sick to my stomach and bawl my eyes out. The guilt I carry from that time – a time when I’m ashamed to say I gave my rights as a parent away – is a heavy burden. One I will carry for a long time.

I cannot excuse myself. Sure, I can blame others. Yes, the so-called “educational experts” that I paid a lot of money to, can be accredited a fair whack of the responsibility but ultimately, full responsibility is mine.

I chose to send him to that school. I chose to listen to their advice. I chose to follow their strategies and I chose to believe them rather than follow my instincts as a mother. After all, what did I know about education, I wasn’t a teacher!

It was only after the situation had deteriorated into complete hopelessness and despair, did I become so angry, so furious that I acted. No longer could I buy their lies, their stories, their “expert advice”. In my eyes they had lost all credibility. Under their guidance, I had lost my child and I wasn’t sure if I could ever find him again.

They say in your darkest hour, you sometimes find parts of yourself that you never knew existed. I found a part of me that refused to be pushed around anymore.

Have you ever noticed that teachers and principals – no matter how lovely and well-meaning – have the ability to make you feel that you know nothing? What I realised was that I did know something. I knew – without a doubt – that if I kept following their path my son would die. Not figuratively – literally. My son was becoming so anti-social, so depressed and aggressive, that in my heart of hearts, I knew that if something didn’t change my child would self-destruct. I refused to stand back and allow that to happen.

The end result is what I now do. Everything that I learned to be able to help my son (yes, he’s alive and well and aiming for some fairly impressive goals) I now share with other parents who have experienced some version of my story. For some, the story isn’t so dark, for others it is much worse.

I am now as passionate about helping other families navigate through this experience (and help their kids succeed) as I was initially about helping my own son. Did I want to do this as a career? No! After all, I was “just a Mum”. But others saw what I was achieving with my son and begged for help. I couldn’t refuse. After all, if I said no and then that child (who was being bullied) self-destructed (a distinct possibility as she had already made one attempt), I would feel at fault. I would have played a role, and I couldn’t live with that.

And so, I bit the bullet and started working with this special child using everything I had learned teaching my son. I knew, instinctively, that I needed a different approach, a holistic, whole person approach to education and learning. After all, teachers and other tutors had failed to help this child. What I needed to do was condense 3 years of experiments, of trials and errors, into a weekly program that made sense to my student. So I created an individualised program, one that was relevant to her.

From there, the program grew into what it is now. A sympathetic, individualised, whole person approach to helping kids who struggle at school and who may have self-esteem and behavioural issues. We show them how to be able to achieve their dreams and goals – a way forward, a hand up not a stop gap measure. We give them tools and strategies and the self-belief to be able to apply them – and no, we don’t use drugs.

***From a T.V. Addiction to a Book Addiction

“She just doesn’t stop reading! I want her to go to sleep but she won’t put the book down!”

Jane De Long, Biloela, Queensland

***My Son Gained Confidence and Now Reads By Himself!

“After 3-4 months he picked up a book and started reading it all by himself. It was just beautiful. This was a massive step for him. He even told others he was reading a book all by himself! I would recommend this program for sure. I am just so happy we found it.”

Brooke Davis, Melbourne

My approach isn’t for everyone. It is one of many ways that work. What I do know is that the results we achieve without the use of drugs can last a lifetime. I am passionate about empowering children and families to take charge of their own learning. It is my mission to help them help themselves. That is why I’ve created the Reach Your Potential Tutoring Centres. I’ve assembled a team of dedicated people – people who are as passionate as I am about helping these beautiful children succeed. Our ultimate aim is to give you and your children the skills and knowledge that we have – to teach you well enough to put us out of a job! We aren’t about creating dependency – on us or drugs, or any other stop-gap measure. It is our greatest joy to see our students succeed to the point where they no longer need us.

So by now you may be wondering, what do we do exactly that can make such a big difference.

First let me tell you what it isn’t…

It isn’t drugs. It isn’t a magic pill. It isn’t some kind of new age hocus pocus that isn’t backed up by science. What we do, and how we do it, has its basis in science. We use the latest research and findings on how people learn and how the brain works and construct our program on those foundations.

We look closely at each child’s learning profile and determine the best methods to deliver our program. We also teach our students how to integrate the two hemispheres of their brain so that they can move from a survival state to a state of higher reasoning – the only place learning can occur from. We cover important strategies such as stress management and reduction and place a strong emphasis on changing self-talk. We help our students realize that they are incredible people who are capable of achieving their goals – we don’t promise them that it will be easy, but we do show them how to achieve what they set out to achieve.

Don’t believe that this is possible? To be honest, in the beginning, neither did I. I didn’t understand that the brain has amazing regenerative capabilities and that with the correct training even severe limitations can be overcome. It took many years of study, and the privilege of reading some amazing research papers, to come to the understanding that what we believe possible for ourselves and our children is only limited by what we think. I could mention many amazing leading edge researchers who are pioneering the work that we do at the tutoring centres every day. Dr Carla Hannaford Ph.D., Edward Taub, Elizabeth Arrowsmith Young, Michael Mezenich and many others have all significantly impacted on the work that we do.

Our approach to education isn’t mainstream – our tutoring centres aren’t mini schools – but the results we can achieve are felt in many areas of life, not just in school. We insist on making each session fun, and even though we are working our students’ brains with targeted exercises, the kids love them. So, we’ve managed to turn something that could be considered difficult and boring into a fun set of exercises, relevant to every day life.

Is what we do expensive? Yes and no. Compared to other tutors our fees can seem quite high. Compared to other health professionals, we are cheap. We are so much more than tutors – any tutor can sit and drill a child in English and attempt to get them to read and understand using “school” methods. But it takes a special kind of tutor to be able to determine exactly how your child learns, what would be the best methods to use to teach them, to determine exactly where their weaknesses lie and to have the knowledge and skills to know how to strengthen those areas using fun activities.

I like to compare it to a gym membership. Anyone can join a gym and go along for the standard minimum fee and use the equipment but to get the most benefit from your gym membership you need to have a personal trainer who understands you and what it is you want to achieve.

So, If You Want Your Child To Be Helped By Someone Who Understands Them… please contact us and make an appointment to see the tutor in your area. Come along and learn how your child is special and not ‘disabled’, how they can succeed in life and how you as a parent can make a difference.
