Code Word Brain

I’m a primary teacher, parent, brain health coach & tutor in the Film & TV industry where, as well as teaching young Aussie actors their schoolwork, I use novel, brain plasticity exercises to help them quickly comprehend their scripts, commit their lines to memory & reduce on-set anxiety.

When I saw how quickly brain plasticity exercises combined with 1:1 tutoring could improve expressive & receptive language, reading ability, confidence & overall happiness in general, I decided to launch Code Word Brain for all kids, aged 4 to 14+, Australia wide.

As a teacher, my interest in helping your child goes beyond simply reinforcing the curriculum, over-and-over, until they get it (poor kids!). I believe we all need to know how to love our brain so it can love us back – and what better time to learn this than childhood – because when our brain works well, we can learn things faster!

My methods & training come from the ground-breaking neuroscientific research & teachings of experts like Dr Mike Merzenich, Carol Dweck, Dr Daniel Amen, Patrick McKeown, Dr Steven Lin & Jim Kwik.

Using a combination of 1:1 tutoring, including a solid introduction to alphabet code/phonics, online cognitive development ‘games’, & proper breath training (to ensure your child’s brain has the oxygen it needs to perform), I encourage your child to not only be an active problem-solver, but ‘active‘ in general – because the brain thrives with both mental and physical exercise!

Routine plays a starring role in a language-based brain plasticity program, & when it comes to routine… there’s no place like home! With internet, you won’t need to go anywhere — you can do Code Word Brain everywhere; even on holiday.

For parents who know that good practice routines change everything, I’m here to teach, guide & motivate the mission so your child is more inclined to take the ‘personal me time‘ needed to change & improve their brain for better learning & brighter days. (Please see my credentials below.)
