Tutoring is focused on delivering information. A tutor can help students learn by teaching new information, repeating subject matter, or teaching class content in a different way. This makes tutoring a great choice when information hasn’t been delivered, or when the information wasn’t delivered properly the first time.
If your child is behind in school because of the flu, a substitute teacher, a move to a new school district, or even because construction workers have been running jackhammers outside the classroom window for a month, hiring a tutor makes sense!
When you can identify outside circumstances that have interfered with the delivery of information to your child, it helps to have someone to redeliver that information.
However, if your child is having trouble paying attention or understanding what they’re taught at school, simply repeating information from class might not help. In these situations, brain training is often a better fit.
Brain training is focused on strengthening core learning and thinking skills. Improving these skills makes it easier for students to understand, process, and remember what they learn.
If your child is having trouble paying attention in class, completing homework assignments, or understanding what they’re taught, brain training can help! Rather than simply repeating information from class, brain training can address the root cause of learning difficulties.
Brain training works by targeting and improving specific learning skills. For example, brain training can improve how well your child focuses, how easily they memorize information, and their logical thinking skills.
By strengthening these skills, brain training can help students understand and retain information the first time it’s taught. It can also help them become more confident and more independent learners, giving them new tools for studying and homework assignments. Most important of all, brain training can identify the root cause of learning struggles and help students overcome these difficulties.
