Brain Training is better than tutoring
Many parents are understandably frustrated because of countless hours and endless dollars spent on tutoring for a child that continues to struggle.
Brain Training is not tutoring! Tutoring re-teaches information, essentially treating the symptoms of the issue, but not the cause. At The Brain Gym, we identify and address the real reason for your child's learning issues. We get far better results in less time than tutoring. In just a few months at The Brain Gym, underlying learning skills will improve significantly, allowing the student to be a confident and independent learner who thrives in our education-driven society.
Below is a table contrasting our Brain Training program with traditional tutoring or learning centers:
