Parents Testimonials

 

During the three years Sue has worked with both of my girls, she was wonderful. Not only has she extensive knowledge of the gifted and talented, but she is great working with them. She was able to understand, nurture and release the potential in both of my girls. She was a teacher, a counselor, a mentor, an inspiration! And still is, even when we moved. I highly recommend her for any parents of gifted and talented children.
- Barbara Calipo

 


Both my son, aged 5 years, and my daughter, aged 10 years old, had a wonderful time working with Sue at Bangkok Patana. Sue discovered hidden potential in my rather quiet complex daughter whilst being enormously patient with my exuberant lively 5 year old son. Both still speak fondly of their lessons with Sue two years after she returned to Australia. They both in equal measure enjoyed, responded and benefitted to the appropriate challenge of Sue's work.
