BEST EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST IN CENTURION
Educational psychology refers to the study of human learning, learning processes, instructional methods and individual differences in learning. The goal in educational psychology is to understand how people learn and retain new information.
At Mizu Therapy & Assessment, the best educational psychologist in Centurion, Riza van der Merwe and Sunita Patel, excels in helping individuals to learn concepts in a simplified manner while having fun. The consistent aim is to understand the learning methods of children, students, teenagers in different settings – schools, universities or workshops – and then develop successful, better methods of sharing knowledge or instructions. Our educational practice’s primary focus is to help individuals learn concepts not only in a simplified manner but also in a non-threatening interactive way.
To achieve optimal results, we include the social, emotional, and cognitive processes involved in an individual’s lifespan and combine a number of educational psychology disciplines, including:
* Developmental psychology (how and why we change as human beings);
* Behavioural psychology (how and why we behave the way we do) and;
* Cognitive psychology (perception, thinking, memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and learning).

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY THERAPIES
