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.

Hear from our Students and Families

Our daughter had a great experience with Learning RX. We saw great growth for her. She is more outgoing, more willing to talk and interact with family and friends, more interactive, not as short tempered and less irritable. She is more confident in so many ways and it’s been so great to watch her grow because of this program.

TA (Eagan, MN)

My sons processing skills, ability to respond to questions and his engagement in classes at school improved throughout his time with LearningRx.

Rachel (Appleton, WI)

My child enjoyed the sessions with Emily very much. There were times when he was very tired after school, but he insisted on attending the training. He could feel the benefit of the brain training – paying attention to class and staying focused on homework, so he was motivated to go even when he was tired. Not only has his speed improved, but also the accuracy of the work itself. Thanks Emily and LearningRx!

IL (Richmond Hill, ON)

Wow, everyone who works here appears to love what they do, and the kids sense it! We have just begun our journey here, but I am thrilled to have learned the areas of potential growth for my children and to have been provided with the tools proven to help them reach their goals

Jennifer (Eden Prairie, MN)

Ms. Loftus and her entire team were absolutely wonderful to work with! After training with them, my son is now thriving at school, able to focus better, and his confidence levels have skyrocketed!

May (Tysons, VA)

My daughter completed the program and had a significant improvement and her confidence when through the roof.

Minneh (Reston, VA)

We are so grateful for LearningRx! Tiffany and her team are so wonderful. Not only did we see incredible results in our son’s focus and his ability to work through challenging subjects, but the sense of community and the boost in his self-confidence that came from LearningRx were truly life changing.

Morgan (Franklin, TN)

LearningRx is a great place to train the brain skills of your kids and yourself. The learning skills, the self-esteem and self-confidence building is great. The highly educated and experienced teachers as well as are very helpful and the friendly staff are superb. It is a great place, and I highly recommend. it.

Abdi (Shoreview, MN)

Seeing his growth this year in homeschool of what he can read and is willing to try (not overwhelmed by the amount of words on the page) has been wonderful. Incredible growth.

Melissa (Reston, VA)

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)

Truly life changing opportunity to invest in your kids!

Meghan (Appleton, WI)

Although I’m an adult, I greatly benefit from my training at LearningRx! After 6 months of training 3 days a week, I’m noticing I’m starting to calculate numbers in my head, which is huge since I was diagnosed with dyscalculia in my early 20’s! I’m even finding myself visualizing my next turn when driving, something I could never do before my training! LearningRx is helpful for all ages! I only wish I found them sooner!

Miranda (Reston, VA)

The skills that my daughter developed while working with Francesca are invaluable. My daughter’s improved reading skills alone are life changing; they will affect nearly every class she attends, and will probably affect her career choice. Her improved attention and listening abilities have reduced her frustration with school subjects, and thus make her more compliant. She doesn’t panic when she can’t immediately decode a word or grasp a concept. She has learned that there are strategies to make these challenges manageable.

Laura (Charlottesville, VA)

My son has been coming to LearningRx for a few months and when he started, he was reading 1.5 AR books now he is reading 3.7 AR books. I can’t thank the teacher and program director enough for all the help with my son. We are super happy can’t wait for him to finish his program.

Alejandra (Irvine, CA)

The instructing was amazing! I am able to remember number sequences better. I feel more confident about making decisions and communicating to people.

Hannah (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

We have seen a huge improvement in reading fluency and memory. It has helped her with self-confidence. It has been a great experience.

S.N. (Fairfax, VA)

After covid my son found himself 2 1/2 years behind in reading. With ADHD and Dyslexia and so much time missed in the classroom he needed more help then the school could offer. After 9 months we have seen tremendous progress. It is a big commitment both financially and time but it was worth it.

Richard (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

My daughter was having a hard time and school and LearningRx changed that. Her confidence is remarkable now.

Ms Rosales (Texarkana, TX)

We initially tried a going to a learning/tutoring type center. But when the administer expressed doubts about my child’s ability to comprehend tasks directions and to work independently, I began searching for a program that would aid comprehension. This led to my internet search and in me finding LearningRx. It was a blessing and miracle, very early on, to see my child perform multi-step commands without additional prompts by me. Now, we have seen a true love of writing after practice with the Learning Rx trainer.

Ericka (Raleigh, NC)

Homework was a nightly battle—three hours of stress, tears, and very little progress. Then we found LearningRx. We went in for the evaluation, and for the first time, we saw a new approach—one that focused on how the brain learns, not just what to learn. That summer, Rosa started the program. At first, it wasn’t easy getting her there, but the team made it fun and engaging. Pretty soon, she was the one reminding me it was time to go. She finished the program, got her picture on the wall, and something just clicked.

Brian (Eagan, MN)

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)

Irene’s support and leadership has been crucial in the progress and success of clients. She has been very responsive of and receptive to parents’ feedback and suggestions and strives to include them in the planning of goals and objectives for purpose of trainings!

Hibroly (Reston, VA)

The significant improvement that we saw in our daughter learning wise during that time. Not forgetting as much as she used to with simple directions. Completing tasks and schoolwork. Participation in class due to the confidence that she knows the material.

Rachael (Raleigh, NC)

I completed a 6 month course of brain training with LearningRX…I found Dargan through the Stroke Comback club after his presentation there and I was hooked. I suffered a second stroke…and had to stop working as a Registered Nurse…Because of the stroke, I suffered memory and concentration issues and even lost reading and writing ability. LearningRX gave me the confidence to live on my own independently.

Jean (Charlottesville, VA)

Our daughter was really struggling and we were concerned that she may not move to the next grade in school. Not only has LearningRx given her the mental exercises to improve, but it has given her the tools that she can utilize in learning at home and at school that will allow her to be successful in her future. She has moved from a place of defeat and sometimes despair to one of being hopeful and having plans for her future. She has learned that she can do hard things.

Justin (Raleigh, NC)

My son started Learning RX when he was 18. He knew he wasn’t ready to start college as having dyslexia and other learning challenges made processing large amounts of information very taxing. ..Ashley was incredibly supportive and encouraging. She was able to individualize the program to meet his specific needs. She went above and beyond our expectations!…It has been incredible to see him be able to focus and read for long periods of time and to really thrive.

Karen (Cary, NC)

I suffered a traumatic brain injury and due to this I was struggling in school, at home, with daily tasks, and socially. After completing the program, I’m remembering information in school and passing with flying colors. I used to feel very foggy, confused and irritated throughout the day because it was so hard to focus or remember anything. I feel like this program gave me my life back after the TBI and I’m forever grateful.

Charity (Atlanta, GA)

LearningRX has been a blessing to my son. JR had a sports related concussion in March of 2019. He was in the 8th grade and had forgotten simple things in life. I didn’t know how he would finish out his 8th grade year…I came across LearningRX and after the first week or two he could tell that his memory getting better. My son has gained confidence, his memory, and the stamina to work for longer periods of time. JR finished his 8th grade year with straight A’s and was accepted in to the Information and Technology program at high school. A huge thank you to LearnRX and Mr Richard!!!

Genita (Colorado Springs, CO)

At LearningRx, the true difference was made by the teachers. Their dedication, patience, and skill in navigating exactly what [my daughter] needed created a learning environment where she could truly thrive. They didn’t just follow a program—they adapted, encouraged, and met her where she was, guiding her through challenges with understanding and consistency. Their ability to personalize her learning journey not only built her skills but also gave her confidence and resilience.

Mar (Franklin, TN)

The improvements in my child’s reading skills and confidence that she has gained, a result of the LearningRx training. My child has gained so much confidence in her reading skills. She is no longer scared to pronounce words or make a mistake. She jumps right into each assignment without hesitating.

Mrs. Davis (Texarkana, TX)

Grace noticed quicker decision making and improvement in accuracy during her skills trainings. She truly enjoyed the environment, trainers, and director, and looked forward to training every week. We loved seeing her gain confidence and begin to resume a love of learning by the end of the trainings. Thank you for offering such an innovative strategy to combat learning difficulties.

Kelly (Franklin, TN)

I really appreciated how LearningRx was one-on-one interactive, tailored to our needs, and progressed based on my child’s performance. I appreciated how LearningRx used both evidence-based approaches along with a custom approach tailored specifically to our needs. We have seen improvement in our son’s understanding of school materials, quality of memory and communication at home, and overall attitude toward working and trying to improve and achieve.

Sam (Knoxville, TN)

Life-changing for my son and my family. He can verbalize his thoughts and understand what we are saying. Logan understands concepts at school and works hard to complete tasks.

Lindsey (Appleton, WI)

Our son is 8 years old and has struggled since 3 years old to focus. Starting to learn to read and figuring out letters has been very difficult…Mel is motivating to him and continues to push him to his potential. In the first month the change we saw in our son’s focus was jaw dropping!..Within 3 months of beginning the program our son has started to read full homework page assignments and complete them on his own! Mel and this program has completely changed our lives to which we will be eternally grateful.

Nicholaus (Cary, NC)

I was one overwhelmed parent after being told my daughter was suspected as having dyslexia by her school, which followed up with “we won’t be able to get her where she needs to be in reading”, essentially. I had seen the LearningRx sign before, so that was my first call. I had a lot of questions! The front desk (Jordan) was so very helpful at giving me as much information as she could before meeting us. We have now finished our brain training plan and are so happy with the results!

CH (Chattanooga, TN)

Great relationship with her trainer – always positive and encouraging!

Amy (Raleigh, NC)

When my son first started his cognitive training at LearningRx in February 2024, his speech and conversation reciprocity was very limited. Memory recall was an extreme challenge for him and his ability to reason and think things through were difficult tasks. Olivia, his trainer, is simply amazing! She was able to build a wonderful rapport with my son which is not easy given his challenges due to Autism. He has had many different therapists over the past 10 years, and no one has been able to reach him and teach him like Olivia has done.

Denise (Shoreview, 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)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

Our son is almost done with the program and we are very impressed with his progress and accomplishments so far. He has made great strides with his memory, processing skills, and overall attitude about learning. We have noticed less anxiety and frustration when he’s doing homework at home. We’ve been very happy with the trainer he works with and the whole staff at the Eagan office is wonderful. Thank you!

Katie (Eagan, MN)

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

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

LearningRx has helped me grow in my career by sharpening different cognitive areas. I loved my trainer, Tracey, who made the program fun and enjoyable.

Allison (Colorado Springs, CO)

The vast improvements we saw in our student showed the effectiveness of the training with LearningRx. Jared’s time management, confidence, and how he prioritizes responsibilities are like night and day. His family, his teachers and he himself feel he made huge strides and showed great improvements.

Heather (Fort Collins, CO)

The improvement that was shown from the start has been absolutely unbelievable! His confidence and fluency in reading that he has shown since the beginning has been outstanding and we are so impressed with everything!

Lauren (Pensacola, FL)

The team here at LearningRx was really phenomenal! They worked with my son to help him with his logical reasoning and executive functioning skills, and I really see the difference it has made it our lives. The staff was really responsive and flexible, and my son loved his instructors. I really recommend this place for anyone struggling with management or organizational skills!

Eman (Irvine, CA)

Daniel had difficulty learning material and was not getting the support he needed in the school system. After he trained his attention, memory, comprehension and more got better. He still is not at grade level but his ability to learn is improved. The center, director and trainer were always supportive of our needs. They worked very hard to help Daniel and showed a lot of patience.

Dihn (Reston, VA)

This place is such a gem! North Louisiana is blessed to have such a top notch facility to help children and families overcome any and all learning challenges. My son is enjoying reading for the first time ever! And is not even half way through his program. Donesa is the most wonderful person to work with. And all the trainers are qualified and trained. Such a blessing.

Roo (Shreveport, LA)

My child was struggling so much with reading in school and at home. She had one-on-one help through the school for a full school year but was still significantly below grade level. Her frustration began to build with tests taking almost 3x longer for her to complete when compared to her peers. She started to dislike going to school because it was too difficult. She has grown tremendously with LearningRx. She is volunteering to read at school and has improved in her skills in many ways.

Jolene (Eagan, MN)

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)

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!
