"I use breaths when my teacher is annoyed."
Year 2 student unleashes her SuperPowers when her teacher gets annoyed at her. She practises breath techniques learnt at LearningClubs.

Parent

Watching my daughter struggle with reading was very difficult, but LearningClubs has completely changed things.

The sessions are encouraging and well-paced, and she’s finally starting to believe in herself.

Her confidence has grown so much that she now reads out loud at home without hesitation. It’s wonderful to see her proud of what she can do.

I would recommend LearningClubs to any parent who wants their child to feel confident and capable with reading.
