When Reagile started at Edublox, he had concentration, hearing, and speech problems. Teachers at his school thought he had ADHD. He couldn’t speak for most of his nursery school years. Then, when he did speak, he struggled to get words out of his mouth.

His stuttering was bad, concentration was a huge problem, and he was unable to finish any class task or assignment. I was scared that he would not be ready for Grade 1. This was when he started with Edublox one on one classes. During this time, due to Covid, schools were closed and Reagile had no access to learning except Edublox online and English reading lessons once a week for a whole year.

When Reagile started grade 1 in 2021, he went through a few traumatic experiences. One of them was finding out that he had lost vision in one of his eyes. This affected his self-esteem and confidence in class. Having to wear a patch on one eye and glasses resulted in him becoming a victim of bullying, which made him afraid of interacting in the classroom.

When school assessments started, his teachers were shocked by what he knew. He was too advanced for his grade. Reagile is an A+ Grade 1 student, thanks to Edublox and the staff’s dedication and love of working with kids like him. His speech has improved, as well as his concentration and memory, spelling, writing, and ability to complete tasks.

I’m so grateful and feel blessed to have him at Edublox. I recommend it to any parent who thinks or has been advised that their child is unable. It does not only take the skill but the heart to connect with our children to be better and to help them excel when no one else can.
