LearningRx (www.learningrx.com) enables students to learn more effectively by strengthening their cognitive skills. LearningRx does not provide tutoring programs, nor is it a series of workbooks or tapes. We provide students 12-24 weeks of intensive one-on-one training that was designed to target the causes of problems, rather than just the symptoms. LearningRx provides an alternative to tutoring by addressing the student’s fundamental learning weaknesses.

Some applicants come to us with an image in their mind of a library after school where friendly teachers are tutoring discouraged kids in math, patiently attempting two or three different strategies to explain fractions, while gently encouraging their deflated pupils to keep trying.
And this job is nothing like that at all.
Think now of a group of aerobics instructors at the gym, foreheads glistening with sweat, bouncing up and down to a fast dance beat. Smiles on their face, but with a slightly devilish grin because they know they are pushing their clients to the edge. These instructors are in pretty good shape themselves, and they arent at all worried about a little perspiration stain here or there, or that their hair is headed in ten different directions. When they are done teaching 3 or 4 classes in a row, they collapse in exhaustion for the rest of the evening, but after a good night’s sleep, are back in cheerful form the next day.
Our job environment is more like that gym, and less like the library. In our case, instead of exercising muscles and cardio, we are strengthening our students’ brains (cognitive learning channels, to be more precise). Our brain trainers are not working on textbook assignments from school – they are building students’ underlying attention, efficiency and resilience.
