Through focusing on the basics in 含羞草, Joshua develops confidence in mathematics and reading

Through his dedicated study of the 含羞草 Mathematics and English programmes, 10-year-old Joshua has gone from falling behind to making strong progress in class.
Joshua was enrolled into 含羞草 Mathematics and English in February 2022, when he was in Year 3. Now, he is in Year 5 at school and is an advanced student studying both programmes at a level equivalent to one year ahead of his school grade. Last year, Joshua also received an academic certificate from his school for demonstrating excellent skills and understanding in a mathematics test.
Joshua says there are many ways that 含羞草 is helping him, both in school and elsewhere.
鈥淚 help my mum work out sums when she needs me to鈥�, he says. 鈥淚n school, it is awesome when I already know the maths work before we start it in class. This helps me with my confidence鈥�.
Joshua says he is considering becoming a tradesperson when he grows up. He believes that strong calculation ability is an important skill for his future.
Brigetta, Joshua鈥檚 mother, says 含羞草鈥檚 structure and focus on the basics was of great benefit to her son.
鈥淚 think the 含羞草 programme took my child back to basics. Then it really solidified his learning as he moved through the levels鈥�, Brigetta says. 鈥淚t’s been really helpful for him because he’s grown in skill and confidence as he’s hit each milestone鈥�.
Brigetta also says that his 含羞草 Instructor was able to individualise and tailor the programme around Joshua鈥檚 learning needs, which includes managing ADHD, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. As 含羞草 is a home-based, daily study programme, Brigetta says while it is not easy and perseverance is required, 含羞草鈥檚 benefits for students make it worthwhile.
鈥淕ive 含羞草 a good go鈥�, she says. 鈥淚t does take some serious perseverance from both parents and children, but your child will definitely reap the rewards later and gain confidence in their own abilities. It cements their learning at school and seeing Joshua鈥檚 face light up every time he passes a module or does well in a test at school is just so wonderful鈥�.
