How Do We Learn? What Drives Academic Performance? Could Your Child Get Better Grades Without Struggling So Much?

You have probably invested a lot of time and resources to ensure your child will have the best possible education and opportunities in life.   Even when you feel that you have access to everything-- the greatest schools, private tutors, the most dynamic, dedicated teachers, a solid family life, and all kinds of extracurricular enrichment-- learning may still be a struggle.  Why? 

The most common root cause of learning struggles is underlying cognitive skill weakness. A ten-year study by the National Institute of Health concluded that 88% of learning difficulties resulted from weak cognitive skills. 

What are cognitive skills? They are the foundational mental skills that determine how a person thinks and learns, might be the missing piece. When memory, attention, logic & reasoning, auditory & visual processing, and processing speed are at their best, a child is able to engage with and learn new information naturally and easily. When one of these skills is lacking, a person's ability to work through complex problems, analyze information and make connections is hindered. 

During our interactive presentation we’ll discuss:

1.       How are cognitive skills trained?

2.       What kinds of results can you expect?

3.       Does this translate to more effective learning and better grades?

4.       Is there any scientific evidence supporting the methodology and results?
