Children & teens

Learning support for children who learn differently

Practical study support and gentle confidence coaching for children and teens who are struggling at school, from a registered teacher with a psychology honours degree and certified coach. In Pretoria and online.

Does this sound like your child?

  • Bright, but school has become a daily battle.
  • Homework ends in tears — theirs or yours.
  • Tutors haven’t helped. Nothing seems to stick.
  • You can see their confidence slipping.

Your child isn’t behind. They just haven’t been taught the way they learn.

If school has become a daily battle and homework ends in tears, you’re not failing them — and there is a gentler way forward.

How Adél helps

Hands-on learning support, not just talk

Adél physically teaches your child how to learn, and rebuilds the confidence that struggling at school takes away.

  • Finds how your child learns best

    Then teaches to that, using the way your child actually takes things in.

  • Practical study methods

    Reading, memory, focus, planning and exams, shaped to your child.

  • Rebuilds confidence

    So they stop feeling “stupid” or “behind” and start trusting themselves.

  • Works alongside you

    Not around you. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.

Why Adél

Three kinds of help, rarely found in one person

A registered teacher who can teach the methods, a psychology graduate who understands what sits underneath the struggle, and a certified coach who rebuilds the confidence.

  • SACE-registered teacher
  • Honours BA Psychology (UNISA)
  • Certified Life & Transformation Coach
  • Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health Coach
  • Experience in the disability sector
