In light of recent scientific studies, it is necessary to consider learning as being made up of two distinct parts:  specific academic study and the underlying ability to learn.  A specific academic challenge (such as reading) requires several underlying cognitive skills (such as blending, auditory processing, and word attack).  A tutor can enhance academic success in a particular school subject when the student possesses the underlying learning skills required for the task.  But if a student struggles due to a weakness in underlying cognitive skills, then a Cognitive Skills Trainer is best equipped to assist the student.

• additional academic instruction to help a student improve his or her grades in school
• increases subject knowledge and related general knowledge
• helps student catch up after prolonged absence
• permits student with attention deficit to complete unfinished assignments after school
• fills in the gaps when a student moves to a new school
• takes the homework load off of the parents, creating more free time and less stress for the family
• reinforces reading skills and spelling rules taught in school
• helps student move through the school year more smoothly

• intensive, specialized training program designed to make learning easier and more efficient
• improves the brain's ability to process information in any academic subject
• uses the most up-to-date, ground-breaking strategies from cognitive neuroscience
• strengthens skills to improve reading comprehension, word recognition, memorization, and processing speed
• improves selective attention, divided attention, and sustained attention
• gets to the root of the learning problem and literally rebuilds the basic ability to learn efficiently
• a new approach to reading and spelling that is retained at a subconscious level
• gives student the ability to reach his or her full learning potential
