Professional NILD Support Team (PST)

Bronwen Broomberg is a Level III NILD Educational Therapist, involved in running the Gauteng Area Support Group, and a member of the NILD SA Professional Support Team.  Despite a successful 20 year career in corporate operations and finance, where she refined her organisational leadership and people management skills, she decided to follow her heart and passion and her long held belief that she was meant to be a teacher. Specifically, Bronwen believes that she has been called to help learners with learning challenges, and she has a special interest and passion for helping those with dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia.  

 She completed a Higher Certificate in Pre-school education through the Embury Institute and then continued her studies with a PGCE through Cornerstone University and transitioned to teaching and providing extra math lessons.  When she saw first-hand how many children were struggling at school and how much more needed to be done to help these struggling learners, she searched for a programme that could provide additional training. She discovered the National Institute for Learning Development South Africa (NILD SA), and was impressed and inspired by the quality and practicality of the programme and with the various techniques which equipped struggling learners with the tools they needed to excel.

 Now a skilled Level III NILD Educational Therapist, Bronwen is deeply committed to the NILD-SA programme and its mission to help learners overcome their learning difficulties. She teaches at a Christian School in Johannesburg and provides therapy after school for other learners.  She says that she is continually inspired by and excited to be part of this fantastic programme and  grateful to be part of the NILD family.  She looks forward to being able to reach and help more learners unlock their potential in the years to come.

Lara has completed her BA in African Politics, PGCE(FET) and Honours in Special Needs Education. She is hoping to complete her Masters in the future. Her passion is for equipping learners to reach their full potential through assessment, intervention, and personalized therapies; to help restore their hope, self-belief, inquisitive natures, and determination to meet their challenges and rise….

This has led her to work at SCILD, LSEN units, and Sherwood Assessment Centre. She currently works as a Remedial Therapist at South City Christian School, assisting learners from Gr 1 to Gr 7 with their learning challenges and in her private time works as an NILD Educational Therapist.

 Lara is a Level III NILD Educational Therapist, Area Support Group Leader (South Coast) and part of the Professional Support Team, as an Area Support Group coordinator.

 NILD is a family, with Christian based values, professional ethos, and scientifically backed knowledge. Lara is very blessed to be part of this family.
