About Ryzi Shine Literacy & Learning

Ryzi Shine Literacy & Learning supports children who need extra help with reading, writing, numeracy, and learning confidence.

Founded by Kate Jacobs, DSF Specialist Teacher and certified mindset coach, Ryzi Shine provides small, structured sessions designed to help students build skills step-by-step in a calm and supportive environment.

Lessons are carefully planned so children can understand, practise, and master new skills without feeling overwhelmed. Along the way, we focus on building confidence so students begin to see themselves as capable learners.

Our goal is simple: to help children feel successful, capable, and proud of their learning. ✨

At Ryzi Shine, we focus on:

Clear, explicit teaching
Step-by-step learning that builds on what students already know
Making sure skills are secure before moving on
Supporting students so learning never feels overwhelming
Building confidence alongside academic skills
