PAYMENTS CAN NOW BE MADE VERY SIMPLY By credit card from the US, the UK,  Europe, or Asia via Paypal .

Paypal doesn't accept payment from Australia or New Zealand, but contact me by all means - within Australia a cheque or money order is acceptable, and from NZ we can work something out.  

PHONE CONSULTATION:

Currently I am able to undertake a very small number of phone consultations per week 
- first come, first serve:-)

Following the initial exchange of emails, I charge the following rates for telephone consultations.  Usually only one or a few initial consultations, possibly followed by a couple of consultations per year if problems arise,  is all that is required to make a huge difference for your gifted child as he or she progresses through school.
