GradePower uses cognitive learning techniques to help children develop more effective ways of thinking, concentrating, listening and remembering. Our cognitive approach to learning, designed by educational experts, is based on proven scientific research into how children actually learn. Learning is not about memorizing facts. It’s about knowing, really understanding, how to integrate and retain new information. GradePower goes beyond tutoring, to help ignite your child’s interest in learning, not just for one school year, but for a lifetime. Way Beyond Tutoring®, Teaching Children How to Learn Learning is a learned skill! At GradePower we teach children how to mentally organize new information so that it makes sense. This is the critical first step toward good grades — and GradePower is the only supplemental educator focused on teaching children to develop these organizing skills. With this foundation, your child becomes an independent learner, better equipped to take in and retain new information on his or her own. Better Grades, Greater Confidence, GradePower® Working in small groups under the personal direction of a highly qualified instructor, GradePower students develop cognitive learning techniques and study skills that help them perform better in daily schoolwork and on tests. The result is a confident, capable student, better equipped to learn any subject matter, in any environment, now and in the future.
