Edublox Otjiwarongo

onfidence as indicated in our 2019 annual client survey, we are the logical first choice. We are very proud to have achieved a NPS score which is 26% above the world industry standard for education in the 2021 survey. (Net Promoter Score (NPS) is used to measure customer loyalty and how likely they are to refer your products and services to others). Our mission is to bridge the gap between learning needs and academic success through integrative cognitive, literacy and numeracy skills development, giving hope and peace of mind to families. We are a third-generation family business with its roots planted solidly in South Africa since the eighties. All our educational interventions have been developed locally and we have a rich history of working successfully with more than 150 000 learners worldwide. Through our educational franchise model that was implemented in 2010, we created more than 300 job opportunities, and expanded our offering to a broader geographical footprint. Over the years, more than 15 000 learners have attended our extramural classes at our 40+ franchise offices across Southern Africa. A recent addition to our lines of business includes Edublox Online Tutor, a one on one online cognitive tutoring solution that provides fundamental solutions for dyslexia, reading and learning difficulties. This line of business is focused on delivering services internationally in areas such as North America, Europe, Australasia, etc. The main objective at Edublox is to develop and practise the skills that underlie reading, spelling, writing, maths and learning. Skills include, but are not limited to:


● Attention and concentration;
● Perception — visual, auditory and haptic;
● The ability to discriminate, synthesise and analyse in terms of foreground-background, form, size, position in space and colour;
● Processing speed;
● Phonemic awareness;
● Visual, auditory, sequential, iconic, short-term, long-term and working memory.
● The ability to decode, integrate and classify information. The results achieved with learners are remarkable. We have over 770 documented case studies of learners whose learning problems were resolved – and we have one of the largest online testimonial libraries of its kind in the world. Over 90% of our clients confirmed per electronic survey that they are satisfied with the improvement in academic results when learners attend Edublox interventions. Edublox values:
● Developing learners to achieve results — improvement in school performance, self-image and creating a basis for lifelong learning.
● Quality and compassionate customer service.
● Providing safe, challenging and fun learning experiences.
● Using tried and tested educational practices based on established theories.
● Working professionally through proper business practices and fit-for-purpose computerised systems.
● Edublox people enjoy amiable and value adding relationships.
● Edublox people are exceptionally proud of the wonderful achievements of our learners, but remain humble and view the opportunity to develop learners as an honour and privilege. What Edublox offers to clients:
● A scientific assessment of the learner’s cognitive skills levels to determine if the Edublox programmes can be of value to the learner.
● Weekly classes to improve concentration, perception, memory, logical thinking, reading speed, spelling ability, comprehension and mathematics.
● Help for learners with reading and spelling difficulties, including reversals of letters such as ‘b’ and ‘d’.

● School readiness classes for preschool learners.
● Online solutions to develop foundational cognitive skills through the Edublox Online Tutor ‘Development Tutor’ and ‘Reading Tutor’ programs. We are proud of our top position in the educational industry:
1. Edublox uses an integrative approach (developing cognitive and literacy / numeracy skills simultaneously), therefore providing a COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT SOLUTION rather than learners needing to attend different services for each development area.
2. We ACHIEVE RESULTS which are defined by IMPROVED SCHOOL RESULTS and not by our own in-house assessments:
o Satisfaction Surveys (2010 to 2021) consistently shows over 90% of parents are satisfied with the improvement achieved at school after attending Edublox regularly. (Improvement reflected in school performance, in reading and/or learning ability and improvement in a positive attitude towards reading and learning.)
3. VERIFIED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM - scientific studies and documented case studies
o Scientifically verified increase up to 10 IQ points after 36 hours of brain training. o Scientifically verified increase in visual memory - 1.3 years increase after 22.5 hours of brain training
o USA research project with 67 learners reported a 52 % increase in processing speed. o Singapore research - the results showed a statistically significant improvement in focused attention over a period of five days (18 hours of Edublox training). o Research in conjunction with UP:
▪ indicates significant improvement in auditory memory.
▪ proves the correlation between the cognitive skills as developed by Edublox and academic performance. o More than 770 documented case studies.
4. QUALITY LEARNING is maintained through:
o Regular video recording of group class lessons allowing us to constantly provide feedback to our tutors on their performance. o Monitoring of each learner’s development by Head office specialists.
5. OUR TRACK RECORD – For the last 38 years, we have continuously developed our product and service offering and continue to deliver our self-help home and online services globally.
