Helping children READ, WRITE, COMPREHEND and EXPRESS.
At EduHelp, we specialise in supporting learners aged 4 through university, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. Whether it’s foundational education, high school academics, or university-level guidance, we provide tailored strategies, compassionate support, and practical tools for success. While EduHelp has a special interest in educational support and wellness we are a practice dedicated to promoting well-being and personal growth. We offer a range of wellness services to help individuals build resilience, confidence, and harmony in life.
Founded by Melissa van Hal in 2009, EduHelp combines educational expertise with a holistic understanding of individual needs. Melissa is an Integrative Health, Wellness, and Learning Specialist, and her extensive experience in addressing diverse learning challenges ensures a supportive and personalised approach for every learner. Melissa was officially joined by Loudine Heunis in her role as Support, Learning and Academic Coach, in 2023. Loudine’s personal and professional beliefs and practices are aligned with the EduHelp Method. Having first met during our undergraduate psychology studies, we now form a formidable team, creating change in the educational environment and wellness sphere.
Our services include:
- Learning and enrichment support to strengthen academic skills.
- Guidance for differently-abled learners, with tailored study strategies.
- Counselling for academic, emotional, and behavioural challenges.
- Parental support to equip families in navigating their child’s education.
At EduHelp, we believe in meeting learners where they are, celebrating their unique strengths, and working collaboratively to create practical, achievable goals. By fostering self-efficacy and independence, we aim to make learning accessible, meaningful, and enjoyable for all.
