Sue is an educational specialist in the field of learning problems and dyslexia. With over 25 years of research, she conceptualised the Edublox tools and defined the teaching and learning methods that make the Edublox brand so successful.

Sue obtained a BA Honours in Psychology from the University of Pretoria (UP) in 1986 and completed a BD from the same university a year later, where she received a prize for the best thesis.

Early in her professional career, Sue was instrumental in training over 3000 teachers and tutors, providing them with the foundational and practical understanding to facilitate cognitive development among children who struggle to read and write.

In 2007, Sue opened the first Edublox reading and learning clinic. There are now 30+ Edublox clinics across Southern Africa. The Edublox tools Sue helped develop were sold to parents in 40 countries around the world, including the United States of America, Australia, England, Canada, Singapore, India, and even Trinidad and Tobago.

Sue has appeared on various television programmes, including 3 Talk with Noeleen (SABC 3), Mother of all Professions (SABC 2) and Ontbytsake (kykNET), and has been approached for comment in numerous print magazines. Sue has also spoken about cognitive development, brain training and learning problems at school principals’ meetings and on radio talk shows, both locally and in Singapore.

Sue is determined to give every child the best opportunity to realise their educational potential and believes that dyslexia and other learning disabilities can be overcome through the correct cognitive development and training. Her proudest moments are when she hears how a child who had severe learning difficulties is able to come top of their class after one or two years at Edublox. Sue always takes time to collect the ‘hero’ stories of Edublox learners whose self-esteem is lifted as their marks improve, some by 30%.
