When learning or reading is hard, working with the brain makes sense.

Learnerobics is so different.

We use brain based learning support to improve learning, reading and life outcomes for children and adults.

Many of our students find they have to work at learning or reading harder than their class or work mates. For them, it's easier to avoid or resist. They may have dyslexia, autism, ADHD, language delays or even a brain injury, diagnosed or not. They may also have had adverse childhood experiences, or long illness and infections as a baby, which may have affected language development. Also, they may have learnt to read in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s with an outdated method which means their brain's visual system is being overloaded and overworked.

Most of them dislike learning, reading or going to school/work, and deep down, still want to develop the skills they need to live a purposeful life.

Auditory processing

If the brain is not processing auditory information fast enough, it can be confused, and struggle to understand, spell, read fluently and comprehend.

Brain research

Advances in brain imaging since the 1990s have shown that the brain's neural pathways can be 'rewired'. We can also measure and document those changes.

Coaching

People who find learning and reading difficult learn to avoid it - because it's painful. Let's give you some coaching to help build perseverance and confidence.

How is Learnerobics so different?

That's because Learnerobics addresses the gaps that only a mum can find.

Meet Monique. She went through the sleepless nights and frustrations that most mums feel when their child has learning and reading challenges.

After reading the book The Brain That Changes Itself and learning how brain research can help with these challenges, she worked with a Sydney speech pathologist supporting other parents before deciding to bring neuroscience technology to the mums who really need it.

In the process, she found how much coaching can support parents with children who avoid learning.

Since 2018 Monique has been working successfully to improve the skills that support healthy learning - attention, memory, language processing and mindset.

She is an accredited Fast ForWord Provider, a licensed Brain Health Trainer with Dr Daniel Amen, a member of the Australian Tutoring Association and abides by their Code of Conduct. She is currently completing the short courses on Educational Neuroscience with FutureLearn and Central Queensland University.

Farirai Makopa, Managing Director, Life With Purpose Homecare, Feb 26

It is very encouraging to see the gains C… is making in memory, auditory processing, and confidence. Your observations regarding his engagement and your holistic awareness of the emotional aspects related to his improving memory are greatly valued. Thank you for your continued dedication and the positive impact you have on him. (C is a 50+ male with brain injury)

Goran, NSW, Sep 25

The teachers stated he displayed a whole new approach to quizzes and other activities that would usually end up with a negative result. He is learning to push through challenges and understanding that results come from the effort you apply. This same attitude is now also being applied to his academics.

Goran, NSW Jul 25

Our son has been progressing through the Learnerobics program. The emotional ride has been testing at times, but it was all washed away by the positive feedback we have received from his school teachers. The feedback reflected what we are trying to achieve from completing this program with the result of improving our son’s overall experience in his learning journey at school and out. Thank you for your support.

Blake, NSW Nov 24

Monique from Learnerobics has been amazing. I have found it a lot easier to learn and make fewer spelling mistakes.It was even easier to stand up to a bully as well.

Alison, NSW Jan 2024

“My 7 year old daughter struggled to say certain words and she was falling behind with her phonics and reading. Since starting Brainwise modules, I have seen a huge improvement in her speech, and how she constructs sentences. Her latest school report also reflects improvement in her reading and writing, and she’s no longer under the benchmark for her age!

Monique has been very supportive throughout our journey, and I would highly recommend Brainwise to other families with similar needs”. (Brainwise become Learnerobics in 2022).

Tamzen, May 2023

My son has gone from consistently being bored and distracted to engaging so well that he is no longer on the teacher radar.

I feel such a sense of relief that my son is now equipping his mind with the strategies, tools and new found abilities that not only will help him navigate his educational years but life skills too.

I now feel confident my son has a bright future.

Zalak, NSW Jan 23 My son has improved with his oral communication, concentration and now he is more calm than before. His listening skills and following instructions have improved tremendously that he is so confident in his learning and happily looking forward for another successful year at school. All thanks to learn fast forward and our amazing mentor Monique.

Jacob Scott, Senior OT, NSW, Oct 2024

As an occupational therapist, I recently had the opportunity to use the Fast ForWord cognitive program with one of my clients, and the results have been remarkable. The client, who had been struggling with memory and confidence issues, demonstrated significant improvement after consistent engagement with the program. Not only did their memory retention and recall noticeably improve, but their overall confidence in everyday tasks increased as well. The structured approach of Fast ForWord allowed for targeted cognitive training that directly impacted the client's functional abilities, making it a valuable tool in enhancing both cognitive function and quality of life.

Tiffany Lloyd, Talking at Tiffanys January 2024

I have previously referred a client to Monique at Learnerobics® with excellent results. I have continued weekly therapy with this student and have been impressed with the progress she has made. When I saw her after Christmas and New Year I was amazed at the improvement in the student’s expressive language. Previously she had struggled to put the words in the right order when speaking (known as syntax) but now the word order was correct and she was elaborating on what she was saying using correct syntax and expressing more complex ideas.

Nicole Yeates, Brain Optimisation Consultant (LinkedIn) 24

Monique Peters, I love how you highlight the interconnection between cognitive processes and their impact on our learning and well-being. Your approach to optimising attention, memory and organization is crucial for both personal and professional growth. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙌
