My 19-year-old daughter completed a 20-session course with Usha 
after being diagnosed with mild dyslexia, while at college 
studying for a level 3 Childcare course. Clare had gone through her 
education years struggling with spelling, sentence 
construction and mathematics and had come out of school with 
mainly D grades at GCSE level. My husband and I had over the years 
paid for private English and Maths lessons, which seemed to highlight 
Clare's difficulties even more. 
<br/><br/>
After reading about the Raviv method we decided to give it a go, to 
help Clare tackle her problems in a different way. Clare had never 
enjoyed maths before but suddenly she was enjoying maths patterns 
and magic numbers. Similarly the Alpha Omega literacy worksheets helped 
her to see the patterns in spellings and she was able to memorise whole 
sentences after hearing them read out and then writing them herself. 
<br/><br/>
Clare's relationship with Usha has been very positive from the beginning. 
At no time was she made to feel that she could not achieve and over the 
period of time spent with Usha, Clare's confidence has been raised to new 
heights. Clare has recently gained a C grade in her maths mock retake. 
She has a provisional acceptance at Roehampton University and an 
interview at Chichester University next month. At one time, before 
Raviv Clare may not have considered applying for University. Moving on to 
a new phase in life is often daunting for many people and the fear of the 
unknown can stop people from progressing forward. I think in Clare's case 
she may have been cautious, in the past about moving away from home, but 
she is now looking forward to a new chapter in her life. I believe that 
the Raviv programme has helped her to believe in herself and enabled her 
to make her own decisions regarding her future career.
