Client Testimonials
Joanita Radivoev – South Africa
We decided to assess our girls’ learning styles in order to better understand them as individuals and also to help them with school work.
Darleen’s passion for learning styles and helping people to be the best they can be encouraged me to start seeing people’s uniqueness in everyone I deal with. Her knowledge and experience on the subject is extraordinary and she already helped me so much in dealing with my own family on a daily basis.
Darleen is professional and always has time to answer questions and explain things. After completing the observational profiles Darleen spent a few hours with my husband and I to explain the feedback and implications of our children’s learning style outcomes. She could give us concrete examples of how other people dealt with similar situations and also provided us with suggestions on how to work with our children, how to encourage them and even what their learning environment should look like. The report that followed reiterated the discussion and can be used to help the children’s teachers to assist them with learning in the classroom.
I would definitely recommend Darleen’s company – RETRAIN – to anyone (young and old, schooled, professional or even home-schooled) who would like to improve the way they learn.
Mrs E Day – Social Worker & Parent
Darleen’s RETRAIN program is excellent- I have seen her work with adults and how she helps her clients understand something of their own techniques of learning and processing, and I could see that there was an “aha” moment” when they were able to link their idiosyncrasies with the assessment findings and preferences.
My daughter (16) did the Personal PortraitT assessment through RETRAIN and she has often referred to the feedback that she was given by Darleen. It has helped her make sense of her individuality and find a way of learning that “fits” with who she is.
Darleen engages positively with her clients and her enthusiasm provides encouragement, positive feedback and builds self-esteem. I would highly recommend her and the RETRAIN assessment for adults and children.
