Teaching and empowering children and adolescents to identify, challenge, and adjust their beliefs and behaviours, while also recognising and responding constructively to others' beliefs and behaviours.

NLP

NLP was developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in the 1970s, inspired by their work studying the strategies of eminent therapists such as Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir, and Milton Erickson. It involves coding how individuals organise their thinking, feelings, language, and behaviour to achieve their results.

NLP provides a methodology to model the exceptional performances of leaders and experts in their fields. It helps individuals reframe their mental maps and acquire new experiences by altering their internal representations.

NLP can greatly help children and adolescents by giving them access to different kinds of resources and behaviors when their current ones aren't efficient.

Neuro: Each person has a unique mental filtering system that processes sensory information, forming their initial mental map through internal images, sounds, tactile sensations, and other sensory inputs.


Linguistic: Personal meanings are assigned to this information through language, creating a second mental map that reflects everyday conscious awareness.


Programming: The behavioural responses resulting from these neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic maps.

° Psychopedagogy

Engaging in an educational process that reverses learning challenges, supports the inclusion of children with special needs, and improves social integration within their environment.

Psychopedagogy is an educational approach developed in the 1910s, integrating concepts from psychoanalytic, neurobiological, neuroscientific, and neuroeducational
fields. It encompasses multiple dimensions, including cognitive, psychological, mental, neurological, psychoanalytic, and pedagogical aspects.

PSYCHOPEDAGOGUE

Reverse 0 learning challenges 0

The mission of psychopedagogy is to address specific learning challenges and cognitive processes involved in learning.

It considers Learning Differenciations (TDs) as the interaction between genetic predispositions and the environment, which either fosters or hinders these predispositions.

The intervention model in psychopedagogy is built on three pillars designed to tackle learning challenges. This model enables over 80% of children to catch up at the first stage, with an additional 15% achieving progress by the second stage.

If remediation persists for at least six months with minimal progress, this resistance may indicate the need for specialised intervention. This model serves as a valuable tool to determine whether a genuine "disorder" exists or if the learning methods are simply misaligned with the child's or adolescent's way of functioning.

Institutional Guidance

Building inclusive learning environments from within

Our Institutional Guidance focuses on working with educational institutions to implement structured learning strategies that work for educators and students. 

Every school is a community for discovering untapped potential. In every classroom, there are students who learn in different ways, have untapped strengths, and show different levels of confidence. When systems are built to support those differences, every child improves — not just academically, but emotionally and socially. 

Schools are complex systems. Teachers manage classrooms filled with students who learn differently. Leadership teams balance academic expectations with student wellbeing. Families look for reassurance and clarity.

A structured partnership

Our learning strategy consultant works with your school to find your student’s learning challenges and choose the right tools that create a clearer path for success. Especially for students who are neurodivergent.

Think of your school as a shared garden. With a well-defined structure, tools that work well, and consistent care, every learner has a stronger opportunity to grow.

How 0 we
work 0 together

For institutional guidance, our focus is to ensure that learning tools are clear, actionable, and adaptable within your institution’s context. 

When we work with educational institutions, our partnership may include: 

01

Assessment of learning needs

We review your existing systems, classroom challenges, and understand the patterns that affect your students’ performance. 

02

Strategy design and implementation

We introduce clear learning frameworks and tools to support how students are taught, creating a more inclusive environment. 

03

Educator support

We guide teachers and educators on the best ways to apply the structured strategies in the classroom in a realistic and sustainable way. 

04

Family-school alignment

We ensure our strategies are aligned and consistently communicated between the school and home environments.

What this creates 

When structure and understanding are integrated into your institution’s learning environment, 

  • Students experience greater clarity and are less frustrated 
  • Learners receive excellent support without stigma 
  • Families are reassured by a coordinated approach to ensuring success. 

For teachers and school staff 

When the systems that support students are strengthened, learning institutions contribute to building resilient members of ‌society.  

 
  • Teachers learn practical frameworks to manage the needs of neurodiverse students 
  • The school environment becomes a centralized support system for every learner 
  • Teachers and school staff can easily identify students with challenges and provide support when needed 
  • Academic outcomes improve across all classes through consistency and alignment

Youth Guidance
(ages 5 to 25)

At Serengaï, we think of your learner as a person with unique strengths. With the environment we have and our learning tools, growth is possible. Our role is to help your child or young adult bring structure, prepare themselves, while giving you (the parents) the strategies that help you understand their needs.​

It is not therapy

It is not a diagnosis

It is definitely not traditional tutoring or schooling

As a learning strategy consultancy for individuals dealing with learning challenges, we work with children, adolescents, and their parents to create systems that make learning clearer, calmer, and more effective.

How We Work

Our journey of helping young individuals with learning challenges follows these clear steps.

01

Understanding the landscape

Our learning strategy consultant begins by listening. We take time to understand your child or young adult. Their strengths, challenges, and current school context. Having parents around, depending on the learner’s age, during this process is important. 

02

Designing a plan

Based on what we learn about your child, we’ll create a practical learning strategy tailored to their specific needs. This may include executive function tools, study systems, routines, and methods. 

03

Equipping for independence

When our session starts, your child or young adult will always learn how to use these strategies in real life. Parents are also guided on how to ensure that structure is enforced at home without increasing pressure. 

04

Building Sustainable Growth

Over time, our goal is autonomy. As confidence increases, emotional tension decreases. Your child or young adult learns and evolves alongside the tools that can be used across subjects and schooling.

To us, growth is not a rushed process. It is coaxed and nurtured to be fruitful. 

Who we help

We designed Serengaï for children and young adults who: 

  • Have powerful abilities but struggle with tasks that need organization, focus, or execution 
  • Experience anxiety or frustration around schoolwork 
  • Struggle with learning and need tailored learning tools 
  • Feel discouraged even with effort 
  • Need a proper structure to regain their confidence 
  • Are blocked academically and need a way to learn more efficiently

It is also for ‌parents and caregivers who want to understand, need help, and need a plan to help their child thrive. 

What makes 0 our way 0 different?

Serengaï’s work exists to bridge the gap between emotional support and academic structure. When it works, children feel understood, not judged. Parents feel supported, not blamed. When the pressure is lower, life takes on a healthier hue in the home. 

The approach is also grounded and practical. Our learning strategies for individuals dealing with learning challenges focus on concrete tools, clear progress, and real-life use in a school environment.  The goal is not to rescue them from school in the short-term. Our way is to help them find their independence when learning. 

We build an ecosystem that ensures your child’s learning strategies are in line with their classroom expectations. For children and adolescents, it is an ecosystem between them, the caregiver, and our consultant that creates a safe and consistent environment. 

With our guidance: 
  • Your child or young adult becomes confident in their abilities 
  • They can do academic tasks  
  • They don’t have as much emotional stress about school 
  • Parents feel equipped and reassured 
  • Learning is an experience for them instead of a daily struggle 

The course of action followed will be tailored for each individual, in order to analyse and see where learning challenges impact their personal life.

We will walk through four steps to support this journey.



Quantitative Analysis

- Academic level



Qualitative Analysis

- Emotional dimensions

- Learning challenges



Behavioural Analysis



Assessment of Proximal Development Zones



Bringing to light the factors affecting a child's ability to learn—whether biological, psychological, or environmental—is the starting point of our journey.

We aim to rebuild confidence, well-being, and personal success, using a customized set of academic and behavioural tools to begin remediation.

“Meaningful life is not a destination you have to get to. Your meaningful is something you can enjoy right now and anytime you want to”
Tim Tamashiro

The first part of our name comes from “Serendipity”: the occurrence of finding interesting or valuable things by chance. However, At Serengaï we believe that when we are aligned, these moments of serendipity are guided by what we might call instinct, gut feeling, or the unconscious—signs that we are on the right path.

The second part comes from “Ikigai”, a concept Blandine encountered shortly after completing the transformative Ivy House programme. Ikigai, a Japanese term, combines "Iki" (to live) and "Gai" (reason), embodying the idea of discovering one's “reason to live”. At Serengaï we found great inspiration in how this concept is understood and lived in other parts of the world.

We redefine certain terms to eliminate their negative, pessimistic connotations, offering instead a lighter and fresher perspective.

The “Rosenthal effect” or “Pygmalion effect” illustrates that individuals, particularly children but also adults, tend to meet the expectations set for them. They perform better when treated as if they are capable of success. Conversely, Jane Elliott’s Discrimination experiment and R.C. Rist’s research on self-fulfilling prophecies have shown that beliefs and expectations significantly influence academic and life success.

At Serengaï, words matter. We work as a team to demonstrate how the simple yet strategic implementation of certain phrases can significantly enhance and rejuvenate the self-esteem of children and adolescents with learning differences.

Everything 0 can be undone 0

the notion that "a label will stay true" does not resonate with Serengaï. As these experiments and numerous success stories of individuals overcoming adversity have demonstrated, with guidance and kindness, behaviours and beliefs can change, creating new perspectives for tomorrow.
