Train Your Brain!
While other tutoring companies often only "teach to the test" by providing remedial help with one content area, Learning Matters addresses the underlying causes of a student's learning barriers through a customized program to improve both specific skills and long-term learning abilities.   Building new neural networks enables information to travel faster, more efficiently, and with greater precision.  Learning Matters’ methods build these neural pathways by challenging the mind and body to work together.
At least 20% of all children face daily learning struggles.  If your child’s cognition skills have not reached their potential, then learning becomes difficult – and everyday school subjects, like math and reading, become a challenge.  Underdeveloped intellectual abilities may appear as learning disabilities or delays.  Learning Matters identifies and provides proven methods for developing the underlying cognition skills that are critical for learning.  When learning is difficult, children can get discouraged and give up trying.  Learning Matters can help before children get too discouraged.
Learning Matters offers opportunities for you to engage your child’s brain this summer, with a variety of classes and programs to choose from:

• Finger Gymnastics (ages 3 - 5)
• Music and Movement Matters (ages 4 - 7)
• Writing Reading Readiness (entering K and 1st)
• 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (grades 7th through 12th)
