✓ Owner-Operated since 2013

Need a new approach to your child’s learning? Code Word Brain provides evidence-based, 1:1 tutoring for beginning or struggling primary school kids with an important twist that others miss! Your child can improve phonics, literacy & maths skills PLUS memory, ADHD / impulsivity, attention, anxiety, sleep, & more…

Why is tutoring better with a twist?

It's the 'brainiest' tutoring ever! ❤️

Scientific advances in the mid-90s confirmed great news… the brain can change!

We can physically make our brain work better & grow new neurons! It’s called ‘positive’ brain plasticity & it improves learning!

With purposeful, engaging practice, our brain pathways can increase & connect like grooves in an old-fashioned record! The more we practice, the stronger our grooves!

But beware! There’s a flipside to plasticity.

It’s not only head injuries that can hurt our brain & limit success — poor habits can, too…

Sedentary lifestyles, inattention, impulsiveness, &/or dysfunctional breathing link with fewer brain connections, less brain reserve, & inhibited learning (negative plasticity).

At Code Word Brain, kids can find their learning ‘groove’ faster via 1:1 tutoring with a twist of plasticity training & breathwork, specifically formulated to bless the brain!

Help Foundational Auditory Processing

Many kids who fall behind at school are simply unable to process rapid auditory information efficiently or accurately enough. 

We’ll use award-winning, Dr Merzenich’s auditory training to build & strengthen brain pathways, & improve listening accuracy.

Train & Maintain Functional Breathing

Nasal breathing improves intelligence, sleep & brain oxygen!

Around 40% of kids with sleep disorders develop ADHD, ADD, or learning difficulty. Mouth-breathing is a major culprit! I help kids improve sleep, behaviour, learning & sports via breath training.
