Our 10 year old son has struggled with learning for a number of years and after trying all different kinds of learning programs (some very expensive) and tutoring assistance we found Jennifer McAullay and Cracking the Code. Our son has gone from a child who would wake up in the morning and not want to go to school because he was struggling to a child who now asks me to buy him books! Jennifer is a fantastic teacher who offers a calm and relaxing environment for her sessions - it is not always easy working with a 10 year boy who has resisted the program at times but Jennifer does this with positive encouragement and praise - we are extremely happy with the support that she provides to our son and family - we highly recommend the program and Jennifer and look forward to continuing fabulous results in our son's reading and spelling which we have seen to date.

My 9 year old Grace and I worked through 2 terms with Cracking the ABC code to support Graces spelling, vocabulary and comprehension development. This program's effectiveness is due to the carefully planned tasks that ensure a student doesn't just learn the spelling of a word but integrates this into their vocabulary and in doing so also develops an awareness of the rules of the English language using a range of multisensory approaches. The program also requires intensity and a sensitivity to the child's confidence and motivation levels and we received all this and more from Jen.We hope to do another burst of the ABC code in 2015. Thanks Lil for such a wonderful literacy support package!!

Jen has literally changed my 11 year old son’s world!! We have been with Jen since the day my son received a Dyslexia diagnosis 3 years ago. Her patience and genuine desire to support, encourage and teach her students is obvious at every single session. Equally, her support for parents during the ups and downs sets her above the rest. Two years ago my son barely rated in his NAPLAN results for reading, we just received his latest results and he rated ABOVE the school and national average. Whilst it is exciting to show my son that his hard work has paid off, I can’t find the words or the metrics to measure what the program and specifically Jen have done to improve my son’s anxiety due to his classroom struggles. We were so appreciative to have found such an incredible program and literacy teacher in Jen at a time we needed it most! I can’t recommend her highly enough!!

Jen was absolutely fabulous with my son. His reading and spelling has improved considerably and he is now more engaged in the classroom because of the content of this program. Jen has taught my son the foundations of literacy and what she has taught him has stuck. Jen showed my son so much compassion and patience and I'm so grateful. Due to logistics we have changed teachers but we will stick with cracking the code because the results are lasting. My son was devastated to leave his favourite teacher Jen, we will miss her. Outstanding teacher and really thorough program.

Jen, you do an amazing job and you've helped us to change Phoebe's education pathway to be a much smoother road. We see that she feels more confident in her school work and she now has a solid foundation she can build on. Plus, she knows what she can achieve for HERSELF with hard work. Thank you for all your hard work, support and encouragement. We certainly made the BEST choice to ‘catch’ Phoebe up in the shortest time by working with you. You are an excellent teacher and your ability to help parents teach the program to their children is a testament to your skills. Yes, there were times of struggle for us to get the work done but you just kept being wonderful each week and it inspired me to persevere. A huge thanks and we look forward to keeping in touch and ‘checking in’ over the coming year.

Jen is an amazingly warm and nurturing person. She put our daughter at ease immediately and was able to build rapport quickly to enable a positive learning environment. Jen was very transparent and provided feedback throughout the process. The reports provided at both the beginning and end of the learning contract were very helpful and informative. We were so pleased with the improvements made by our daughter at the end of the 12 week program and would highly recommend Jen’s services to anyone looking to build confidence in their child.

I cannot recommend Jennifer McAullay highly enough! Not only is Jen kind and caring with a beautiful nature, her depth of knowledge and her understanding, patience and encouragement is outstanding! My daughter has improved in all areas of English, with a huge improvement in reading, comprehension and spelling. Thank you for your patience and for explaining things easily and sometimes after hours and on the weekends via texts when we were confused! As my daughter said 'Jen knows how to explain it better!'. Thank you Jen you are awesome and we are now looking forward to starting the next school year with confidence!

Jennifer McAullay has been tutoring my son for the past 3 and a half years and in that time his reading and comprehension skills have greatly improved. Samuel has said that the skills he has learned about sounding out words has helped him in the classroom. Jen has been marvellous with Samuel and I am eternally greatful for the patience and encouragement she has shown him. I highly recommend Jennifer McAullay as a tutor for the Cracking the ABC Code Program.

Thankyou Jen for the way you approached spelling and compehension with Dylan. The 12 week program certainly gave him the boost he needed to gain confidence in his spelling. Most of all your patience and encouragement assisted with getting through the book each week and I was very proud that he took such a positive attitude towards getting it done. As this was now my second experience with cracking the ABC code as my eldest also participated and showed a great deal of maturity towards his work as he entered high school. Lastly and I think very importantly the school teachers were also very impressed as to just how thorough the program was and what was covered each week. As we know teachers have so much to cover in the classroom that there is no time for the 1 to 1 dedication which is where this progam is of such value. Thankyou Jen from both Joshua and Dylan.

Understanding & Caring: That is what Jennifer McAullay is. My son Stefan had been seeing her for roughly 3yrs. Stefan found school work a real challenge. Stefan's confidence has grown so much after sending him to Jen. His confidence in class has grown. Just the other day in class the teacher was teaching the class about syllabifications and no one put there hand up but Stefan remembered what Jen had taught him so he proudly put his hand up and answered the teacher. Stefan came home from school that day so proud and confident that he knew what the teacher was talking about and that was with thanks to the beautiful Jen. He proudly said to me "Mum I remembered what Jen taught me and I got it right" . We had sent Stefan to other tutoring places but I can say with 100% satisfaction that Jen was the only person that was able to help our son gain confidence within the class room environment. I would definitely highly recommend Jen for your child.

Dear Jen, My sincerest thanks for the assistance you have given Stacey over the past 12 weeks. I am confident that it has not only helped her with her spelling, but also given her (and me) valuable tools for use in the future. I have been so impressed with the effort Stacey has applied to this program and I have seen an increase in her confidence and self-belief (such vital vital attributes to have) when it comes to her writing. Your calm, caring and very knowledgeable approach has been as asset to us. Keep up the great work, and I’m sure I’ll be back with Gemma to do the program as well.
