Speech problems are quickly identified, and repaired in a safe, comfortable environment. Furthermore, she leads a Drama queen to “The Queen of Drama”.

Issie Venter is herself a full-fledged “Queen of Drama” and her work speaks of joy because laughter and smiles are definitely an Issie Venter drama school feature! For Issie Venter, too much of a good thing is FANTASTIC and so she tackles every task with dedication.
