The Gifted Minds team is different. Our aim is to assess and identify your child’s profile of intellectual strengths and weaknesses and to help you understand and cater for this. We look beyond IQ scores and try to help you determine how personal intensities and sensitivities impact in the classroom. We look for creativity in responses and are skilled at finding creative-divergent children whose gifts may be ‘invisible’ in the classroom. We have learned to assess acutely, looking for nuances, while staying within protocol. We change our pace based on the child’s individual need to reflect, or to go faster. We do not move on to the next question when offered a shrug or a perfunctory “I don’t know” as the first response. These are skills that Minh and Fiona have gleaned from their many years getting to know these children. And that is how we are different. We know your children, we understand them and we love working with them.
“The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done – men who are creative, inventive and discoverers.” — Jean Piaget
