When a student struggles year after year, they don’t just need a tutor, they need a brain trainer. At Cervelle, we find the cause of the struggle and then work to strengthen weak brain skills to turn “I can’t” into “I can”. 

Cervelle is one-on-one brain training, and in addition to helping with homework skills, also entices clients with challenging yet fun mental games that help enhance cognitive skills. For over a decade, I have been offering a unique cognitive skill training methodology that is designed to strengthen the core skills necessary to think and learn. I have used this concept of critical thinking skill training over the years, and it has given all ages of my clients the push they need to overcome barriers in a way that similar tutoring services can’t replicate. So, I have opted to turn it into an actual program!!!

Our critical thinking and cognitive skill training programs will consist of fun, challenging mental exercises done in the context of a one-on-one training relationship. These mental workout sessions are customized to address the unique needs and abilities of each client and are designed to strengthen the foundational cognitive skills that enable our brains to think, learn, read, remember, pay attention, and solve problems.

These skills — attention, memory, auditory processing, logic and reasoning, processing speed, and more — impact our mental performance in every area of life, including school and work. The result? 

Dramatic, measurable improvements in mental performance.

KEY INGREDIENTS OF EFFECTIVE BRAIN TRAINING: 

In order to reap the rewards of cognitive enhancement, there are several ingredients that are required. For optimal results, brain training:

• Must be regularly practiced
• Should be done in a one-on-one setting
• Needs to be intense
• Needs to be focused and targeted
• Need to be done in a particular sequence
• Requires immediate and accurate feedback
