Julian’s story, summarised:
Julian Whittaker is a hardworking, motivated learner who has always performed well academically. Despite his strong results, he lacked confidence and placed significant pressure on himself to achieve even higher marks. This testimonial shows how targeted support from Edublox helped Julian strengthen key academic skills, improve his reading speed and comprehension, and raise his overall performance — demonstrating that even high-achieving learners can benefit from focused development.

Julian Whittaker is our son. We have always been extremely proud of him.
He has always worked very hard for good marks, but he is also very hard on himself. At his grade 1 school’s prize-giving, he received four gold certificates. We were extremely proud parents. Unfortunately, we could see that something was bothering him. He said he isn’t proud of his marks because he wants to do better and get into the 90s on most of his subjects. I heard of Edublox from a friend of mine who has had great results with her boys. They were battling in school.
That is when I phoned Marina Wilters. I honestly thought Edublox was only for kids who battle and have learning disabilities. Marina assured me that any child can benefit from Edublox. I must say at first, we were sceptical, but the proof is in the pudding. After just 3 months of Edublox, we could see a massive difference in Julian’s marks and a more confident, independent, happy little boy. We have not looked back and would highly recommend it to any parent for a better future for their kids. So many friends of ours have seen the great results with our boy that two of his classmates are now also attending Edublox with him.
Our home language is Afrikaans, but all of a sudden, he was getting outstanding marks in English, and his Maths improved so much, not that we thought it could get any better. He could read better and so much faster. His average improved to 94, and he is still getting in the 90s in Grade 3. We are forever thankful to Edublox and Marina Wilters.
