Our Team

Welcome! I’m Lindsey Powell, Center Director of LearningRx in Maple Grove. It is such an honor and so rewarding to be able to help so many student’s close academic skill gaps by strengthening their cognitive skills. I began my professional life as a teacher, first as a classroom teacher then managing a tutoring center. Over time I found myself looking for answers on how to better support struggling learners. Upon joining LearningRx in 2013, I found the answer. Since then I have worked with thousands of students in Maple Grove, Plymouth, Wayzata, Anoka, Rogers, Elk River and the whole northwest metro area. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child develop the necessary skills to succeed and choose to read for pleasure. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m Nate Maus, the Director of Training for LearningRx of Maple Grove along with our locations in Eden Prairie and Shoreview. I studied Psychology at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and am a Board Certified Cognitive Specialist. I was initially drawn to LearningRx in 2008 as a way to apply the academic knowledge I received from my studies in cognitive psychology to help individuals directly. In the past, I took great joy in working with clients personally as a cognitive trainer and now focus my time as the Director of Training on finding and training amazing and highly skilled individuals to work as cognitive trainers. I love seeing the amazing growth our trainers deliver daily. I have a passion for helping people and oversee all our programs to ensure every student receives the best cognitive training possible.

I’ve been working at LearningRx since Spring 2013. Prior to that, I had an internship at the Center for Spirituality and Healing where I explored the effects of mindfulness on the brain. I enjoy working with students of all ages and adults, helping them to improve their skills and achieve their goals. Whether we are working on reading, attention, or self-accountability with school, I love to challenge clients to move beyond their current skill levels to reach new heights.
