Training vs Tutoring
|
Tutoring and brain training are actually very different solutions to very different problems.
Problem: Information was never delivered (or delivered well) Solution: Tutoring Here’s Why Tutoring Works: If your child is behind in school because of the flu, a substitute teacher or changing schools, hire a tutor. In other words, if you can identify outside circumstances that have interfered with the delivery of information to your child, hiring someone to redeliver that information makes a lot of sense. Problem: Your child is struggling in class after class, year after year, and it doesn’t matter how well (or how often) that information is redelivered Solution: Brain Training Here’s Why Brain Training Works: If a child isn’t grasping information the first time it’s presented, presenting that content over and over might eventually get a kid through an assignment or class, but it’s not addressing the root cause of the problem: weak cognitive skills. In other words, if a child isn’t grasping information because a cognitive skill—such as attention, auditory processing, logic, memory, or processing speed—is weak, why reteach the material over and over when you can get to the root of the problem and strengthen that weak skill? Our testing and training identifies and strengthens the parts of the brain your child needs to learn and read better. Results are lasting and unmatched. Cognitive skills testing and training offer your child an opportunity that tutoring and other academic programs simply can’t, the ability to learn easier and faster in every subject. |
