About Us
Edublox Online Tutor offers products and services that enable learners to overcome learning obstacles and reach their full potential. Over the last 30+ years, the family business behind the Online Tutor e-learning platform, Edublox, has helped thousands of children to read, learn and achieve through home kits and learning clinics internationally.
Developed over 30+ years through scientific research and practical experience.
Our programs are founded on educational and neuroscientific research and more than three decades of experience demonstrating that weak underlying cognitive skills account for the majority of learning difficulties. Specific cognitive exercises, combined with teaching according to pedagogical principles, can strengthen these weaknesses leading to increased performance in reading, spelling, writing, math and learning.
