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.

Benefit from reviewing class materials

Brain training is a great choice fit for students who:

Hear from our Students and Families

We had a great experience with LearningRx for both of our children. We saw growth in confidence and ability as well as an understanding of what it takes to achieve mental and academic goals.

Kevin (Savage, MN)

My brain fog is clearing. My grandmother, who I live with, is seeing better comprehension and response time. The LearningRx staff was always so supportive in helping me to meet my goals.

Kayla (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

Leah’s trainer was amazing. She was very patient with Leah. Even when Leah would get distracted or discouraged Ana would be able to talk to Leah and encourage her. Leah has come a long way and it all thanks to everyone at Learning RX. Leah’s confidence in herself and in what she has learned has increased significantly! She is now eager to learn new things and read. She has come so far and I am excited to see all she can achieve now.

Danielle (Charlottesville, VA)

We are so happy with our daughters’ results, truly life changing for her!

Ayla (Huntsville, 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)

Our son was struggling with reading comprehension, and this was affecting many subjects as he entered middle school. He would study for tests and work on homework for hours at night. The grades he received did not reflect the work he was putting in which led to much frustration. Tutoring and extra help at school did not seem to help. Once we met with Tiffany and she explained the LearningRx model and how it was different from tutoring, we felt it was exactly what our son needed. And wow…did we see fast results.

Valerie (Franklin, TN)

LearningRx has been instrumental in Caiden’s progress this school year. Thanks to you, your encouragement, support, effective learning strategies and positive approach Caiden has gained so much confidence. We are excited about this growth both academically and emotionally and where this will take him. Thank you so much for seeing his potential.

David (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

The improvement in his overall willingness to work on academics has been wonderful. I am a big fan! He has learned to keep trying, mistakes or wrong answers are okay. He no longer gets as frustrated or upset with wrong answers.

Angela (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Tatum is so much more willing to try hard things, his reading has improved tremendously. We recently had a parent/teacher conference, and his teacher had such great things to say about him. He is being a leader in his classroom (which is new for him), he is working hard, and his math and reading skills are right where they should be.

Sara (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx is the only effective tutoring method, and both my kids have made huge improvements. I have noticed a big change in my son’s reading; he is on an IEP and wasn’t making much progress, even though the district is taking credit and saying he is making progress with his current IEP, he lacked intervention from the district. I still believed that without outside support, he would not make any improvement.

Halimo (Minnetonka, MN)

Ethan could not read at the beginning of his training. He had no confidence on himself. And the school did not support us as a family. The difference in his attitude is what makes me so happy and proud. He is a different kid. He not only knows he can do hard things but that he will succeed. That alone is the best feeling as a parent. Thank you for your patience and support Ms. Sandra and Mr. Don.

Magy (Fairfax, VA)

Thank you LearningRx for helping me significantly improve my focus! Before I started LearningRx my mind always wonders off and I cannot stay on a task, however in the first week of LearningRx I could already see the difference! I want to thank my trainer Ashley for helping me through this journey, she was very helpful, supportive, and always stayed positive even when I’m feeling down. I want to thank all the LearningRx team too for all the support! My grades are currently doing better than I ever imagined!

Bryan (Eagan, MN)

Excellent training by very caring and encouraging teachers! They always made me feel good about myself and taught me skills that I could apply in my everyday life. I feel much more confident and want to continue training to sharpen my skills and stay on top of things! Thank you Learning RX and, a special thanks to Mary, I will miss you! I will always remember your words of wisdom!

Jeanie (Chattanooga East, TN)

Our son really enjoyed his trainer. His confidence is so much better. We saw big changes in logic and reasoning and comprehension.

Ena (Alpharetta, GA)

I have seen improvements in the way I handle situations that arise. I have become more focused on life and making better choices. Making smarter choices, slowing down and analyzing situations instead of reacting, and my memory processing has improved in every aspect.

Matt (River Valley, AR)

It felt like everyone working there really cared and wanted to see me grow!

Noah (Savage, MN)

Through his hard work and Donesa and her team’s dedication, his reading improved TREMENDOUSLY! I cannot thank them enough for giving my son his confidence back and the security to know that he can accomplish anything.

Shona (Shreveport, LA)

I was thoroughly impressed with the expertise of the tutors at LearningRx, who demonstrated a deep understanding of the cognitive assessment process and provided personalized guidance to help me overcome my memory problems. Through their brain training and logic and reasoning exercises, I was able to restore my cognitive abilities and feel more confident in my abilities.

Travis (Highlands Ranch, CO)

This program looks at all aspects of brain work, really focusing on the root functioning, so the improvement will apply to all endeavors. Rich was extremely gifted at explaining the tests and program in a way we could understand.

Kirsten (Woodbury, MN)

Donesa and her team are phenomenal. The improvement we have seen in both of our children is amazing. Well worth the time and money.

SM (Shreveport, LA)

We are very happy with the progress our daughter has achieved while at Learning RX and we were very impressed by the quality of our teachers!

Christy (Raleigh, NC)

Our daughter had great improvement in reading and confidence! She works through things without frustration and with confidence now!

Kylie (Appleton, WI)

Learning Rx is more than we hoped for! My son has many learning delays and is partially deaf, and how Ashley has worked with him to get him to process information over the past 6 months is truly an answer to all of our years of trying to help him. The process is consistent and we have seen real results, cannot say enough positive things about cognitive brain training and what Learning Rx has provided for our son.

Sarah (Cary, NC)

Noah appears to have more patience at home. Prior to classes at LearningRx I felt there were constant “battles” to get homework done, chores at home, and day-to-day requests. If Noah becomes overwhelmed, he is able to communicate that to me in a more positive way.

Marcy (Chandler, AZ)

I am so happy with my experience at LearningRx! My son is able to do work with more confidence. He improved at math and he is learning math faster which I am so happy about. Also he became more willing to learn at home.

Naeem (Sugar Land, TX)

From skeptical to beyond satisfied! We are very satisfied with our experience at LearningRX. The staff was helpful and easy to work with. We are pleased with our son’s progress and look forward to him continuing his improvement.

Laura (Chattanooga East, TN)

Shannon and Sofia did a spectacular job of encouraging and training a kid who has already significantly struggled in school and was very reluctant to engage in learning to open up out of her shell. They did an amazing job! To be fair, this is not an inexpensive tutoring service, but there is the potential for great improvement for kids who may have struggled with other academic support programs.

Matthew (Charlottesville, VA)

Before starting this program, I struggled with auditory processing, which often made communication and focus more challenging. Now, not only has my auditory processing improved dramatically, but my productivity has skyrocketed, my memory is sharper, and my overall cognitive abilities have reached new heights.

Linzy (Highlands Ranch, CO)

It has changed the way we interact with our children. From homeschooling, to discipline, it’s made a difference in how we work together as a family. I highly recommend! Each one of our kids have grown in effective communication and discipline.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

This is such a special organization. We invested in our son‘s future through LearningRx, and are very pleased with the results even after six months! We focused on auditory processing to balance with visual processing. The staff is very intelligent and personable and flexible support our family needs. I would recommend LearningRx to anybody at any age actually to build those neural pathways!

Michelle (Colorado Springs, CO)

The program is set up in such a way that I was able to progress with ease. My memory has definitely gotten stronger. I’m also able to remember and comprehend what I just read better.

Shannon (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Overall a fantastic experience. The owner and her team are all great people to work with and most importantly my son showed lots of progress and truly enjoyed it.

Nick (Appleton, WI)

My son has made tremendous progress in multiple areas! He’s more confident and was even mentioning today, weeks after LearningRx ended, that he wants to go back and say hi to everyone since he loved his trainers! Highly recommend this program.

Sapana (Sugar Land, TX)

Dr. Ana is very kind, patient and easy to work with. She will help your child learn and thrive academically. LearningRx tells you why your child is not learning and helps improve his cognitive skills, so you don’t keep wasting your money on tutoring when s/he’s not yet ready.

DM (Cary, NC)

We were incredibly happy with the results after the completion of his training. Jeri and Kai were very attentive to our son’s development and continually kept us updated on his progress.

Sarah (Richmond Hill, ON)

Improved attention and independence.

Tasha (Glendale, AZ)

Lisa and the trainers here never gave up on my son even though he was difficult to work with. He is now doing much better in school when he puts forth effort. He is willing to try new things. My son is making better grades; he is doing well at school when he chooses to do his assignments. He is trying new things and doesn’t shut down as easily.

Kelly (Huntsville, TX)

His schoolwork and grades are improved. His communication at home is also better.

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

Heather (Shreveport, LA)

Dylan is more independent, confident, and resilient. He is capable of completing tasks now without our intervention or support.

Bryce (Irvine, CA)

The training really helped me and prepared me for college. I had a lot going on and she was able to work around my schedule and help me get through my course before I left for college. I am excited to start college and see how much this helped me improve in the classroom.

Emily (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

After going through the program for three months, my child’s attitude toward school has changed dramatically. He used to be a student whom teachers paid little attention to. Last month, he was named Student of the Month. He is so proud of himself.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

The confidence he has gained, even during the difficult parts. Everybody is always so positive and uplifting. He is better at sticking to the difficult parts and can himself see his own improvements. Logan has improved almost 2 full grade levels in reading. He has more stamina for reading. He is retaining math information better, and knows he is now ‘really good’ at math.

Jessica (Pensacola, FL)

The support team at LearningRx was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to address my memory problems and provide individualized guidance to overcome them. I had private tutoring services with Kathi and it made a significant difference in my cognitive assessment results, demonstrating a tangible improvement in my logic and reasoning abilities.

Christie (Highlands Ranch, CO)

The improvements my daughter has made in confidence, reading, math, and in such a short time.

Laura (Dublin, OH)

Micah’s ability to learn without ‘freezing’ is the biggest improvement. Micah’s abilities to spell, write, read, follow instruction have all drastically improved. Micah’s confidence has improved. His excitement of learning has skyrocketed.

Marilyn (Chandler, AZ)

I can comprehend what I read better, and my writing skills have generally improved (whether it is more reflective or academic writing). I have also noticed improvements in my overall memory. The activities completed each session were very helpful in my improvement.

Aditi (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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)

The training at LearningRx for my daughter helped on her attention and memory resulting in big improvement of the understanding and reading comprehension. The directors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptive with well management skills.

Liping (Richmond Hill, ON)

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!
