“Find a way to taste excellence outside of academics.” - This is the insightful advice from another dyslexic we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing on our podcast; Matthias, a Computer Science student with a strong interest in Cybersecurity and who aced his national examinations with flying colours.

Matthias gives us a taste of what it was like being dyslexic in Singapore’s education system, including opting for keyboarding for major examinations as opposed to traditional pen and paper. He shows us how daring to try different things and finding one’s path is much more than academics, how knowing oneself is far more important than knowing the textbook. He also explains how having dyslexia in no way impedes on one’s critical thinking abilities. Check out this episode on Different Minds, Real Stories.

“Whatever problems you have can be solved.” - An assuring line that Mathew, an educational therapist specialising in the OG method for more than a decade confidently delivers.

Mathew shares in this episode information regarding the Orton-Gillingham (OG) Approach, which has withstood the test of time as a truly effective method (and philosophy) in teaching and helping neurodivergent children in literacy skills.

Here, Mathew debunks certain myths surrounding this seemingly scary thing called dyslexia, and also shares some of his real experiences teaching students from different backgrounds and abilities. He maintains that as long as the work is put in with the help of appropriate guidance, every child can excel and find their way. Check out this episode on Different Minds, Real Stories.

The teachers of tomorrow are embracing neurodivergence today.

In this episode of Different Minds, Real Stories, we meet Zackary, a 23-year-old Sports and Exercise Science student who is on his way to becoming a Physical Education teacher.

Zackary shares his journey with dyslexia through a powerful and refreshing lens. Rather than seeing it as something to overcome, he has embraced it as part of who he is—recognizing the resilience, perspective, and unique edge it has given him.

His hope is to create a future classroom where students feel understood, supported, and empowered by their own different minds from the very beginning.

This conversation is a reminder that dyslexia is not a lack of ability, but a different way of processing—and that lived experiences like Zackary’s can move us from remediation to inspiration.

“From the moment you know that you have a dyslexic kid, or any kid who is labelled ‘learning differently’, you have won the lottery.”

For many parents, that moment feels like a door closing. But for our guest, Jaz, it was the moment the world opened up.

On Different Minds, Real Stories, Jaz shares a perspective that stopped us in our tracks. Applying concepts from business theory and applying them in motherhood, she explains why a dyslexia diagnosis is not a loss, but a massive headstart in a world that craves different thinkers.

If you’re a parent of a dyslexic feeling overwhelmed by labels, if you want to move from a mindset of struggle to one of possibility, or if you believe in building a relationship with your child based on communication, listen to Ep 3 now on Spotify: Different Minds, Real Stories.
