Bright. Young. Rini Tan is your average Singaporean and does what everyone her age does. Except: she is dyslexic. Diagnosed at a young age, Tan’s parents discovered that she could not even spell her own name. Like many dyslexics, she struggled with reading, math, following road directions, and general slowness in understanding concepts.
As this video shows, life in competitive Singapore proved to be a major hurdle for her. Tan encouraged her parents to let her join other activities outside of academics, which helped her overall growth. She managed to embrace her dyslexia, and the strengths and weaknesses that come from it, and with the support of her parents she overcame the obstacles. She encourages parents and educators to play an active part of their dyslexic children’s lives.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
