Testimonials
"My son has followed both the English and the Math Davis Programmes with Nina. The results have been amazing!
The major result of the English Programme is that Kaylan has recovered his self esteem, his trust and hope in his own abilities and chance of success.
The maths programme unlocked a lot of issues he was blocked with for years: chronology, time reading, sequencing, learning time tables...
These two weeks have been the best and most efficient investment I have ever done into my son's schooling. They have unlocked his potential.
Of course, it isn't all solved yet, we are still working on the trigger words at home, but since he did these 2 weeks with Nina, he constantly improves at school."

"I have 2 teenage boys aged 13 and 15 and came to know the Davis method and Nina some 5 years ago. When my eldest son was about 5 years old we started to get comments from his teacher about how distracted he was in class and that he was not focusing on the lessons. Other children were starting to be very interested in reading and writing but not my son. By the time he was 7 we knew that there was a big gap between his verbal ability and his writing and reading ability.
Then, by chance, I came across an article in the newspaper about the Davis Method. I contacted them and they gave me the name of my nearest facilitator - Nina Pitoska! We have never looked back.
Nina is very kind, patient, flexible and really cares that both the child and the adults are getting a positive outcome from the sessions. I guess you could describe her as our team coach!
Having not got into his preferred school at 7, my eldest son tried again at 13 and passed with flying colours. He still struggles a bit with spelling and English is not his best subject, however he is thriving. The sessions with Nina really worked on his confidence and he started to be able to concentrate more easily, meaning that more of what he learnt was retained and not just in the subjects that he liked.
What Nina helped us all to do was understand what was happening. This helped a lot and in particular helped the boys to focus on the talents that they have rather than on seeing dyslexia as a problem. They now have techniques that will help them for life and a confidence that supports a positive self image and self esteem.
I guess the fact that both of my children have worked with Nina for over 5 years says a lot and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Definitely money and time well spent."

Diane's son achieved nine GCSE A* Grades
"Nina's invaluable support transformed my son's life, helping him overcome severe dyslexia at age 10 using the Davis method. By teaching him to recognize and work on his uncertainties while valuing his strengths, she significantly boosted his confidence. This led to remarkable achievements: scoring 108/100 in his primary maths exam and securing one of just 40 spots in a prestigious performing arts school, competing against over 1,000 applicants.
Despite early scepticism from educators about his ability to sit for GCSEs, my son achieved an impressive 7/9 in English. Now, he's confidently applying to universities—once thought impossible. Nina's encouragement fostered a love for reading, and he now averages two books per month.
Most importantly, his relationships have flourished. He rarely needs SENCO support and actively helps younger students with special needs build their self-esteem, becoming a model of transformation in the school. His journey from struggling with writing to academic success demonstrates the power of targeted, nurturing support at the right time.
Nina's approach recognized and valued my son's abilities, often overlooked in school settings. She not only supported him but also helped me when I felt demoralized. The Davis method proved that with the right support, dyslexic students can overcome challenges and thrive academically and personally."
