Meet the Creator

Hi, I’m Jade! 👋

I’m a mum, qualified primary teacher turned Literacy & Dyslexia Specialist, based in Melbourne’s Inner South-East. After more than a decade in the classroom, I founded Me Lab and Co in 2019 to offer personalised, evidence-based support that helps children thrive in reading, writing, and spelling.

As an accredited MSL Specialist and Orton-Gillingham practitioner, I’m passionate about making structured literacy feel fun, supportive, and accessible. I’ve worked with so many children who felt like reading just “wasn’t for them,” and I made it my mission to change that.

Whizz Bean was born when I noticed a gap: most learning games were too young for older kids who still wanted to play, just without the babyish feel. I created Whizz Bean to be age-respectful, engaging, and effective for all learners.

My Moto: When learning feels like play, real progress happens.

It’s not about how fast children get there, it’s about how supported they feel along the way.

When they feel safe, seen, and empowered, that’s when confidence grows, and learning clicks into place.

💛 Jade xx
