What parents say about Lize

'My son has dyslexia and has been working with Lize over a year. He has been doing online lessons with Lize and I cannot describe how his reading and spelling skills have been improved since he started with her. I was a bit hesitant about online lessons in the first place but it worked so well. Her knowledge, experience, methods and communication skills with learners are excellent. She is such an accommodating and helpful teacher. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a SALT specialist. Thank you Lize for being such an awesome teacher!' Zeynep B.

‘Lize has made this literacy journey quite an amazing experience for my son. It has been so much more than what we were expecting. My son joins his weekly meetings with enthusiasm to share his past week with Lize, she equally shares his excitement. Their connection is evident and has been the basis for such a successful journey in improving my sons spelling, grammar, handwriting and reading skills. Lize has generated motivation, presented concepts in an exciting manner, and held him accountable for a high standard of work. I would highly recommend Lize, she is an excellent teacher.’ Caroline B.

‘I am blown away on the progress that Paia has made over these 12 weeks working with you! You managed to get her to understand things I have been working years on with little success. Thank you for your patience and the Lexercise program.’ Amanda P.

‘Working with Lize has been great! She has always been super encouraging with my daughter even when things were frustrating for her as a new learner. Lize had an incredible amount of patience and always came to sessions with an upbeat attitude. Her organization throughout lessons, in regular communication, and her quick follow up on questions was very much appreciated!’ Alysia P.

'We approached Lize for speech therapy for our son, after we emigrated to Ireland. Our 1st language is Afrikaans and we really wanted to be seen by someone that would help him establish his first language. Lize was great. She went over and beyond to accommodate us on times that would suit us for zoom meetings and guided as for 3 months in helping our little one. He has showed great progress and we can only thank Lize for her knowledge, skills, excellent guidance and professionalism. Lize comes highly recommended.' Regardt D.

 

'My daughter's speech and language therapist Lize van der Merwe is absolutely amazing. We initially went for speech therapy because she was struggling to construct her sentences correctly as well as not being able to say "r" yet. Since then we have been able to get a diagnosis from an Audiologist that she has Auditory processing disorder. Thanks to the therapy from Lize van der Merwe we are able to cope with day to day challenges at school. We are very thankful anf hopeful, she has made a lot of progress since starting speech therapy. I would recommend Talking to Kiddo to anyone. Thank you.' Liza G.
