About Sydney Dyslexia

“She’s just doing amazingly well at school …And she also has just gained so much confidence. She started a little business….. and it’s only because she’s been able to have worked with Barbara ….because she wouldn’t have had the confidence for that.”

Real Results: What Our Clients Say
Great grades and amazing friends
“I remember telling myself to really try and focus because for once in my life someone actually cared how I felt and how I went in school (other than my family). You showed me a Harry Potter book, and I just thought this woman is crazy, I can’t read that. Sure enough that book was the first book I had ever completed in my life. After that trip I was going so well teaching myself in class and people started to work with me again….. I am now a 14 year old girl that can read, write and complete large maths equations. I (have) great grades and amazing friends.“
Confidence and results for father and son
“My son .. and I were lucky enough to be able to spend (time)…with Barbara Hoi. I have managed throughout my life to deal with dyslexia, and have … become successful in the finance business by understanding how best to get around the difficulties, and in a senior management role, utilise others to get through detail. I became aware very early that Henry had some of the same issues that I had. The (time) we spent with Barbara have been an incredible experience for both of us. The confidence that Henry has developed since we finished has been remarkable. … He actually picks up a book to read now, enjoying it; improving his grades at school considerably.”
Dyslexia is now my advantage
“The fact was that Barbara taught me that Dyslexia was not a disadvantage but in fact a huge advantage, this turned my thinking around. Barbara was able to show me where my brain was working and why I thought the way I did. Barbara also taught me what the rest of the world wanted and how they see the world. Barbara has given me the confidence to pick up the pieces and try again, despite how high the mountain in front me is. The fact is that there will always be mountains in our journey, it’s how we approach these mountains which shows our worth.” Passage from a letter
