Brain Training or Tutoring for Studying Skills?

Hiring a tutor is one of the most popular ways to help students study. But it’s not always the most effective option.

While tutoring can be highly effective for some students, others have just as much trouble studying with a tutor’s help. Often, these students need to strengthen core brain skills to make studying easier. That’s where brain training can help!

While tutoring focuses on what students learn, brain training focuses on how students learn. Instead of simply repeating what kids already heard in class, brain training gives them the skills and strategies they need to process, understand, and retain this information.

Tutoring can be a good fit for students who:

Have missed classes due to illness
Have recently moved to a new school
Are learning from a substitute teacher
Benefit from reviewing class materials

Brain training is a great choice fit for students who:

Need to work harder or longer on schoolwork than peers
Have trouble focusing on lessons and assignments
Are having difficulty with core skills, like reading or math
Have tried tutoring in the past but haven’t seen results

For two or three years I knew something wasn’t right. The school kept telling me that he was at grade level and that it was okay. But it wasn’t okay, because he would avoid reading. We came [to LearningRx] in September and thy confirmed he had an auditory processing problem. It feels like the pressure is off my shoulders.

L. Jakeman (Shreveport, LA)

My son had a TBI (due to an AVM) at the age of 19. We were told about LearningRx and that they were very successful with TBI patients. We attended for 8 months. It was not an easy journey for him, but with his trainer, Will, Dargan and the staff at LearningRX he might not have possibly accomplished what he has done in the past 10 years. Since then he has graduated with an Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree, assistant coach/head coach of his middle school since 2014. Happily married, two beautiful boys, and just passed his physical trainer test.

Marianne (Charlottesville, VA)

My 24 year old daughter has Down Syndrome…Before Learning RX my daughter had tried many ways to learn to read, and she would always get stuck on blending words. Learning RX’s expertise on the brain and learning has proved that my daughter can read. She can blend words now and she’s believing in herself and gaining skills to help her into a more independent life. We are making huge strides just within 3 months!!

Katherine J. (Charlottesville, VA)

His ability to listen and follow through the first time has improved. He doesn’t need to study as long for tests and quizzes. His focus is better. His reading and comprehension have improved.

Julie (Chattanooga, TN)

My son struggled hard with reading. The approach to learning has helped him flourish. His reading comprehension is by and far improved, and he is reading whole pages without stumbling. Highly recommend for all ages and learning styles, for ADD/ADHD and other learning disabilities. It’s one thing for us to be proud of his progress, but it’s something wholly different for him to be proud and confident.

Jes D. (Charlottesville, VA)

LearningRx was a wonderful academic support for our daughter. The environment was fun, motivating and productive. We are so grateful for this resource in our community!

Lindsey (Colorado Springs, CO)

My son started LearningRx when he was 16 and my biggest regret in parenting him is that I didn’t find this place sooner! It has completely improved every aspect of his life! From simple things like forgetfulness in daily life tasks, walking into a room and forgetting why you were going in there in the first place. Schoolwork is so much easier as he relearned how to read a different way and learned memory tools and rewired his brain to optimize it.

Sara (Woodbury, MN)

I was on the verge of dropping out of college till my mom enrolled me in Learning RX, and thank the Lord she did. I have a learning disability so I have always struggled in school but as I got older and older school got harder and harder. Chel has helped me and my brain. She is very patient, understanding, and flexible when scheduling my sessions. I’ve noticed an improvement in my brain function which has helped me in school.

Marisa (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

I had a consultation with LearningRX to assess my memory and logical thinking. The system that LearningRX uses to assess and strengthen your weaknesses is very innovative and I felt like it gave me great insights on how I can improve.

Sam (Houston, TX)

LearningRx has changed the trajectory of our son’s educational future and ability to learn. We have been blown away by the success of this program. Our son no longer dreads going to school and is now able to complete his work. He has confidence to do hard things that he didn’t have before.

Lindsey (River Valley, AR)

I’m definitely seeing improvements in my child’s overall confidence with school. Reading has improved tremendously as well as spelling and handwriting. Organizational skills are also much improved. Our trainer was absolutely amazing! 6th grade is off to a good start!!

Matthew (Charlottesville, VA)

Working with Dr. Jackson and the staff at LearningRx has helped me understand where my 13-year-old son has struggles. His pretest showed that his auditory processing was around 6 years of age. The post test showed a significant 10-year gain which has resulted in less frustration when given tasks to complete. His visual, logic-reasoning and processing speed increased. His attention and focus has improved so much during this training. Don’t hesitate to reach out to learn how you can help your struggling learner.

Maggie (River Valley, AR)

My daughter and son in-law needed to find a way to get their daughter some help with reading. They spoke with a few friends that had children that attended LearningRx with great success. After the evaluation she started and immediately embraced the learning process. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring her to the classes when I can. I am very impressed with her progress in such a short time. Her goal is to be able to read a chapter book like her siblings mine is just to see her read without out her being embarrassed.

Corky (Shoreview, MN)

My child is more confident in herself and school. She is not avoiding reading, she knows that she is capable and wants to continue to improve. She can focus easier and when she is told homework needs to get done, she gets it done. She is not running to use the bathroom as an excuse to avoid schoolwork.

Zaret (Glendale, AZ)

It was amazing how this brain training positively affected every aspect of my 8-year old’s life, from comprehending what he read to learning and speaking to building confidence in himself and working through the meltdowns rather than shutting down. Homework time, discipline time, and times of losing are also a lot easier with new understanding. All of which will make his life lessons, now and in the future, easier to adapt to and learn from!

Brendan (Colorado Springs, CO)

His trainer was fantastic and they were very flexible with scheduling. He can do math so much faster and easier. He listens and follows directions better and is able to stay on task with fewer reminders.

Katherine (Tysons, VA)

He does seem to get his work done quicker and more independently – depending on the subject. He is also writing more notes in class. He is not complaining anymore about reading although he still struggles with answering questions about what he read. His frustration level has improved some as well as persevering.

Melanie (Glendale, AZ)

David has done an amazing job helping me with tutoring for ministry college classes, thank you so much David. It’s made all the difference!

Abby (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Everyone was wonderful! They ensured we understood the process and the results! We saw lots of improvement in our sons listening and ability to focus, as well as keep himself on task! Highly recommended!

Kelli (Texarkana, TX)

My son’s memory has improved significantly in just a few months. He can recall things he did three years ago. His processing speed is much faster, and he is doing math more easily and quickly.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

I saw so much growth in confidence and her dedication and interest in learning. We are so proud of her hard work, and don’t think we could have picked a better program! Maison was matched with the trainer, she was comfortable which helped with her success within the program.

Danielle (Irvine, CA)

My child had a positive experience and she was able to reach her goals. The wonderful team provided great support throughout session.

Lavanya (Richmond Hill, ON)

The quality of life for our daughter has been greatly improved. We have seen huge life changing results and are deeply grateful for the people at Learning Rx! They truly care and it shows in everything they do.

Lorena (Chattanooga East, TN)

As parents of a 6-year-old recently diagnosed with ADHD, we were searching for a non-medication intervention to help our son focus, regulate his body, and succeed in school…The progress has been incredible. He’s more focused, calmer, and performing very well academically…We’re so grateful for the Learning RX team and their program. Annabella was AMAZING with my son and she used creative ways to motivate him and keep him on track.

Megan (Eden Prairie, MN)

I am a medical doctor and like to refer to LearningRx to get to the root causes of learning struggles. We have seen a lot of improvement in reading! Our daughter has met the benchmark so we decided to add extra hours to get her a little further. Our daughter pushed back a bit but her trainers were able to help her get over that phase.

Andrea (Alpharetta, GA)

This is a very good program, and I have learned a lot and I would recommend this to anyone.

Charlie (Eagan, MN)

She’s not afraid of a challenge now, and is willing to focus and work through problems. She is excited about learning and reading now!

Daniella (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

I just completed 12 weeks of training at LearningRx and could not be happier with the experience. Over the course of the program, I noticed steady and meaningful improvements: faster speed on exercises, greater confidence with mental math (especially addition and multiplication under time pressure), and better focus even with auditory distractions. I also became more consistent at sustaining attention, switching tasks quickly, and tolerating interruptions without losing momentum.

Danielle (Eagan, MN)

We saw measurable results that would benefit others. He connected with Xander and did a great job of motivating and guiding him through the program. Even when Xander had tough times and struggled, he worked with him to keep going.

Tessa (NWA South, AR)

Ron (Eagan, MN)

My great grandson was having so much difficulty in school with his reading and they had helped him so much before with all his skills, I knew this would be the way to go.

Ms Whitmer (Texarkana, TX)

The director and staff of trainers are awesome. They demonstrated their care and concern for my successful completion of the program each time I had class. I have spoken highly of them to others and recommended them to several people that I felt could benefit from the program.

Pamela (Charlottesville, VA)

I was a student at LearningRx 4.5 years ago in high school and now work in Atlanta full time. I often look back and thank LearningRX for helping me further develop the skills I needed to continuously grow academically and professionally. Because of their very hands-on approach and true passion for helping their students, I would 100% recommend their programs.

Austin (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

LearningRx has been a game-changer for both of my boys! We’ve seen remarkable progress in their cognitive skills—far beyond our expectations. What truly set the LearningRx Eagan program apart is the patience, precision, and genuine empathy each instructor brings. Every coach is deeply committed to their students’ success—and it shows in every session. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found LearningRx and can’t recommend it highly enough to any family looking to unlock their child’s full potential.

Abhik (Eagan, MN)

LearningRx has a positive and fun environment that makes learning fun for my 8-year-old who needs help with reading. All the staff are friendly and care about each individual child. In just a few short months I have seen a more positive attitude and more self confidence in my son.

Nicole (San Antonio NE, TX)

Our brain trainer with LearningRx Texarkana was amazing and we had the best results with increased scores in all areas of her education.

Addison (Texarkana, TX)

Will is now interested in reading on his own — he’s diving into books. It’s great to see him grow in this area, where he was not willing to do before. Will has grown in confidence and his self-esteem and is better able to deal with challenges when he’s faced with time.

Kelly (Chaska, MN)

LearningRx has been amazing for my daughter! We’ve seen huge improvements in her cognitive skills, memory, comprehension, reading, math, and most importantly—her confidence. Working with Jacci has been such a blessing. The results speak for themselves—my daughter’s confidence and grades last semester improved dramatically.

Matthew G. (Appleton, WI)

My daughter is a senior in high school and has struggled in school all her life. She has had tutors on and off for over 10 years. Her biggest struggles were with her processing both visual and auditory, memorizing math facts and problem solving to name a few. They were very understanding and flexible with her training sessions because she is a very busy student. They met three days a week online for about six months and now after those six months, she has improved in every area and is doing better in school and has much more confidence in herself. She now has a good foundation to be successful in life.

Sara (Woodbury, MN)

I recently took an assessment at LearningRx along with my son, and I was very impressed with the entire experience. The staff was professional, welcoming, and explained everything clearly. The environment was clean, organized, and made us feel comfortable from the start. My 15-year-old son has now started brain training sessions, and we’re already seeing how engaged and motivated he is. It’s been a great step for his development, and I appreciate the personalized attention and structure they provide.

Marissa (Houston Central, TX)

My daughter has been coming for two months, and her grades have improved significantly. She really enjoys coming here.

Juan (Edina, MN)

Reading comprehension has improved. Math skills have improved.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

Hearing the news that your daughter has dyslexia is quite frightening. As a parent all you see is your bright, beautiful, and perfect little girl. Your first thought is fear, but then you want to help. Reaching out to LearningRx was the best academic decision we could have ever made for her. They have the sweetest staff, and we were blessed with the best trainer. She has truly transformed my daughter to a reader. Her confidence level when reading has tripled. Through all of the whining and complaining, they pushed through.

Brittany (Many, LA)

Fantastic staff and program. Really helped my child on her ability to do schoolwork. This year she has been spending about half as much time on assignments and her memorization is largely improved.

Kathryn (Fort Collins, CO)

LearningRX has been a life altering / trajectory changing life decision for our son!!! The freedom he now has with his brain and processing skills is awesome! The drastic improvements he has had within school work and homework have been phenomenal. Robyn, Mrs T and the whole team have so much passion and so much wisdom to pour into these students.

David K. (Chandler, AZ)

The entire LearningRx team and program made a tremendous impact on our daughter’s reading and processing speed. We loved working with all of the trainers and especially appreciated Ms. Gina’s dedication and care for our daughter’s growth and progress. The program is a significant commitment and investment, and it’s totally worth it. Thank you, LearningRx!!!

Nicole (Minnetonka, MN)

Itty is way more confident in her abilities as a student. She can finally read fluently and is able to decipher written language. She has said that school feels easier in general and makes more sense.

Kim (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

LearningRx introduced me to the term “neuroplasticity,” and I have seen its effects in both of my sons…Not only did their grades improve at the time, but in the years since then, they have continued to benefit from the skills they developed from their LearningRx training. The improved ability to focus is one such skill…My other son benefitted especially in the area of math skills, and he is still able to mentally perform math calculations with amazing speed.

Linz (Charlottesville, VA)

My daughter was paired with the perfect coach for her personality, and she grew tremendously where her skills lacked. Amelia’s grades went from C’s, D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s! She’s more confident and doesn’t shy away from reading. Plus, she loves school again.

Kristen (Pensacola, FL)

LearningRx has helped our son focus better, pick up on things faster and has given him more confidence in himself and at school. Nicole was Tristin’s trainer, and she was amazing and Mike was super great as well. Always very friendly and responsive!

Chris (Fort Collins, CO)

You or your child may or may not achieve the same results as past LearningRx clients. But give us a call. We’d love to work with you, too!
