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

Hear from our Students and Families

During and after training we have seen a lot of great improvements in my son. There was a big leap in maturity and ability to think reasonably and logically about situations and problems. His task endurance has gone up significantly. Reading ability has improved. Overall his grades at school are really good. His ability to participate in group work has greatly improved. Thanks to Nick and the wonderful folks at LearningRx!

Lacy (Charlottesville, VA)

Mike was very engaging and knowledgeable and has an amazing background that fits perfectly with this work. He is also very passionate and truly cares about helping the people that come in. It is apparent that he is in this to change lives and that’s refreshing to find.

Alli (Fort Collins, CO)

The one-on-one training is great, and I like how it builds upon itself. Always available whenever I reach out and very knowledgeable.

Nadiene (Alpharetta, GA)

Our 10-year-old daughter continued having learning problems. After 2 months of LearningRx, she has more confidence in her learning ability, and she is already getting better grades in English! We can’t wait to see all the great things she will accomplish with this program!

Bridget (Minneapolis, 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)

My daughter made an incredible amount of growth in her skills while at LearningRx, but even more than that, her confidence is soaring. When we used to go to the library, Piper would come home empty handed. Yesterday she brought home a book with over 300 pages–her confidence is that high. I’m grateful for the gentle encouragement and tough, supportive love from her trainer, Mary, through the last half year.

Jeni (Chattanooga East, TN)

Our child was recently able to join a normal level class for reading and writing. His reading, writing, and comprehension grew exponentially during his time in the program.

Leah (Appleton, WI)

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)

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)

Hazel started out unwilling to even try when it came to learning. Now, after completing her program at LearningRx she happily completes her homework and comes home from school excited to tell me all about what she learned! Not only have her academic skills improved but her self confidence and her willingness to TRY something new has improved as well.

Kayla (Fort Collins, CO)

I worked remotely with Kim! She is amazing! This program helped me regain working memory skills, processing speed, & more after a traumatic brain injury! I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Emily (Chattanooga East, TN)

We have seen big changes in our daughter this school year. She is getting her work done more independently, her grades are excellent, and she is more confident. Your program helps build stronger skills and we like that your approach is different and better than traditional tutoring.

Sergio (Reston, VA)

Individual attention, specific concepts discussed and addressed, identifiable progress. Willingness to take time to do hard tasks that don’t come easy, increased confidence in reading and writing.

Mark (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

We have seen incredible improvements in both our kids with focus and attentiveness

Shannon (Chanhassen, MN)

LearningRx has be amazing! We started this because I wanted my son to feel more confident about himself and his schoolwork especially math and not only is he doing better at math and all subjects he is more confident than he has ever been. To see him come home and say “Mom I love math now, it’s easier and I can do it. I am so proud of myself” It just blows me away. It actually brings tears to my eyes, because as a mom you want the best for your child and Lori and Mrs. Regina and the whole LearningRx has been a blessing to my son and our entire family!! EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THEM OUT!!

Ariel (Texarkana, TX)

My daughter is more confident and independent. She interrupts less and engages in conversation more seamlessly with people. She sits much more still in her chair, rather than fidgeting or always bringing her knees up to the table. She has improved time management skills and can follow through with several tasks at a time.

Megan (NWA South, AR)

At home, he would remember what needed to be done after only being asked once, a substantial change from before. Overall, he seems less stressed, overwhelmed, and much more academically confident.

Cara (Chandler, AZ)

Jessica (Woodbury, MN)

Highly recommend this program! Teachers are fantastic and you will see tremendous improvements!

Sapana (Sugar Land, TX)

Our daughter started the ReadRx program in November, mid-pandemic. At the halfway point she was reading at grade level, and reading magazines and chapter books – for fun! Her reading continued to improve…and by the time she finished, we saw huge improvements in her processing speed and ability to recall information. The program is hard work, but worth every bit of effort!

Heather (Charlottesville, VA)

We’ve been going to Learning RX for a few months now. My son loves it and look forward to going everywhere. Its worth it!

Caravaggio (Eagan, MN)

We are so thrilled to have found LearningRX. Halfway through our brain training program, the results have been noticed by my child’s teacher already. They helped me understand the areas that they were weaker and targeted them for improvement in a fun and challenging environment.

Kristin (Tysons, VA)

I’ve seen huge improvements because of the program and the investment of time I put in. The long-term benefits are well worth it! Mike did a fantastic job communicating and sharing in the progress made.

Matt (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

You connected with Carsyn on different level, she learned so much with you and we will be recommending our friends to come here to you!

Clayton (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

A trajectory changing life decision for our son! This is not your typically learning center that “accepts” your learning disability and tries to “help” you. They change how your brain functions!

Marilyn H. (Chandler, AZ)

We have been LearningRx clients for over a year and I have been blown away at the progress our student has achieved in this short time! Donesa and her team are absolute academic angels!

Mario (Shreveport, LA)

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)

Everyone has worked so super great with our son and made sure he had everything he needed to work with. Our son has fine motor skills problems and before going to LearningRx you could not read his writing. After his trainer Ms. Diana worked with him on his writing skills and hand muscles; we could not believe how well his writing improved.

Rita (Dublin, OH)

It was not a one size fits all program. The tested progress along the way, made necessary adjustment to ensure progress was happening. The director was always available if we needed anything, answered all our questions and make sure we were comfortable before we started, during the training and following graduation.

Stephanie (Minneapolis, MN)

The tutors at LearningRx in Indianapolis are truly exceptional – I highly recommend them for anyone looking to improve their cognitive skills!

Dhoeu (Indianapolis, IN)

We had a great experience with LearningRx and have had a lot of growth academically. The staff is wonderful, and we would do it all over again.

Lindsey (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

Skylar shows more confidence in her reading skills. Her results show drastic increases in most all areas she was retested in. She definitely would not have made these improvements without the fantastic staff at LearningRx.

Christina (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

My son’s program changed his life and we would highly recommend.

Nada (Irvine, CA)

We couldn’t thank the team at LearningRx enough! My oldest has ADHD and he was facing some pretty serious learning struggles. LearningRx has helped my son overcome some of these struggles. Dargan went into an in-depth dive into my son’s brain and how his brain works. I was in tears (good tears) when I saw his results. We finally had answers, and a new doorway opened up for us. Brain training at LearningRx was an excellent choice!

Ashley (Charlottesville, VA)

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

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

We had an excellent experience at LearningRx with our daughter. Really helped her master concepts and curriculum that had been a struggle before. Brad is a top-notch instructor. The program is well designed and so effective. We have the seen benefits of the program carry forward for years. We are very grateful to have gotten this recommendation.

DS (Savage, MN)

I just finished training my brain with LearningRx and took my post assessment this week. Y’all, my scores went UP in every cognitive function category! I can concentrate all day on many different tasks and not get distracted or fatigued. I have always had to juggle many many things as an independent contractor and now I feel on top of all of them! I highly recommend looking into the benefits of cognitive training, especially if you’re starting to feel like your memory and focus is slipping. I can not recommend this program enough! Thanks to Dargan, my trainer, Jessica, and the incredible staff! I’m so grateful for what you do❤️❤️❤️

Elizabeth (Charlottesville, VA)

LearningRx has helped push my 2 very genius girls to the next level by helping us understand how to continue to develop our already advanced children. We know that as parents we have to keep these gifted and talented kids involved otherwise they will become bored. The camps over the summer and breaks when they are offered have been especially fruitful and we are completely satisfied working with Kathi and Doug in Highlands Ranch!

Brian (Highlands Ranch, CO)

Our son is 12 years old and has dyslexia. He has a awful time concentrating and reading. This program is just what he needed. Seeing him work through that and seeing this awesome brain training helping him through his learning difficulties is a answered prayer. He loves going and is finally excited about learning!

Erica (Chattanooga East, TN)

We are so thrilled with our sons results. He had a blast and now his focus and attention is so much better. Thank you

Meredith (Irvine, CA)

He has struggled with reading and writing since preschool and only continued to fall further behind even with an IEP/school support plan. Coming to LearningRx has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. He absolutely loves coming, the staff is extremely friendly and, also encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his reading skills and working memory.

Susan (Shoreview, MN)

Improvements in ability and willingness to work by himself. More fluid reading. More confidence in schoolwork.

Melissa (Glendale, AZ)

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)

My brain is doing so much better (after 3 major strokes) doing this program online 3 sessions/week. It’s challenging, but my trainer is terrific.

Jannee (Highlands Ranch, CO)

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)

We have noticed that homework is being done faster and even being started on his own. He has less negative talk and less time lost through behavioral issues at school as a result of not understanding the material. He has confidence for the first time in his life and truly believes he can do things that are hard and trusts himself.

Amanda (Dayton, MN)

The staff took time to ensure Terri reached her potential and adjusted as needed.

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

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!
