Susan is an educational practitioner specialising in helping children reach their full potential, including assisting them to overcome learning disabilities like dyslexia and dyscalculia.
In 1986 and 1987, she obtained a BA Honors in Psychology and a BD degree from the University of Pretoria (UP), setting the stage for her 30+ year career in practical research. She is the mind behind conceptualising the Edublox tools and learning methods.
Early in her professional journey, Susan played a pivotal role in training over 3,000 teachers and tutors, equipping them with the foundational knowledge and practical techniques to foster cognitive development among children struggling with reading and writing.
In 2007, she established the first Edublox reading and learning clinic, a milestone that has since expanded to include 30+ clinics across Southern Africa. The Edublox tools she contributed to developing are now utilised online by students worldwide, spanning regions like the United States of America, Europe, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Susan maintains an active blog focused on learning disabilities. She has authored numerous articles, conducted workshops, and delivered presentations in countries such as Spain, Singapore, Dubai, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Susan’s passion lies in ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their educational potential. She firmly believes that dyslexia and other learning disabilities can be overcome through proper cognitive development and training. One of her greatest sources of pride is witnessing the transformation of children with severe learning difficulties into top performers after just a year or two at Edublox. She makes it a point to collect the success stories of Edublox students, whose self-esteem soars as their academic achievements improve, often by as much as 30%.

Goeie Middag,
My dogtertjie is in graad 2 , Sy sukkel om Engels te lees en te verstaan. as sy werk kry soos worde vir spel toetse doen sy baie goed. Want ek sit met haar en oeffen oor en oor.
Maar waar mamma nie is nie is in die skool waar ek haar nie mooi die betekenis ens kan verduidelik nie.
Ek wil graag he iemand moet haar kan help.
Ons bly in Pretoria Oos .
Ek kan ongelukkig nie duur lesse bekostig nie. Maar bereid om n bekostigbare bedrag te betaal om haar asb net te kan help.
Sy is in Tygerpoort laerskool.
Laateet my asb meer oor julle.
Vriendelike Groete

Hello Elsabe
Baie dankie vir jou boodskap. Jy beskryf presies die tipe uitdaging waarmee ons by Edublox daagliks help. Baie kinders presteer goed wanneer mamma saam oefen, maar sukkel weer by die skool omdat die onderliggende grondvaardighede wat leer moontlik maak — soos geheue — nie genoegsaam ontwikkel is nie.
By Edublox help ons om hierdie grondvaardighede te bou, terwyl ons terselfdertyd lees en spelling versterk. Dit beteken dat jou dogtertjie nie net vir die oomblik memoriseer nie, maar die vaardighede opbou om selfstandig in die klaskamer te presteer.
Ons bied verskeie programme aan, ook opsies wat bekostigbaar is. Kontak ons gerus, dan kyk ons saam na die beste plan vir haar.
Hi, we have a grade 5 son that is struggling with reading and avoids reading out loud and we fear it is because he struggles. What are your costs?
Hello Rhyno
Thank you for reaching out. Many children who avoid reading aloud do so because reading feels difficult, so you are absolutely right to take note of this. At Edublox we specialize in strengthening the underlying skills that make reading easier, while also working directly on fluency and comprehension.
Our lesson fees depend on the program type and frequency of lessons. A typical plan includes two lessons per week.
The best next step would be to schedule an evaluation (cost is R700). This gives us a clear picture of your son’s strengths and areas that need support, and allows us to recommend the most suitable program and share exact pricing.
Would you like me to send you details on booking an assessment at our Pretoria East clinic?
