Adult Tutoring in San Antonio Northwest

If you want to become a better learner and thinker, you might consider adult tutoring. Another great option is brain training. In fact, if you’re looking to work on your learning and thinking skills, brain training is the perfect fit for your goals.

At LearningRx, our adult brain training programs are often compared to adult tutoring. While many people think that tutoring and brain training are the same thing, they are actually different services with different goals and methods.

While tutoring is a great way to spend time with specific subjects, it doesn’t actually target the underlying learning and thinking skills. With brain training, you can give these skills a workout, allowing you to learn more easily, think more quickly, and improve cognitive performance.

Adult Tutoring or Brain Training?

Want to boost your attention span? Become a more logical thinker? Improve your memory? Whatever your goals, it’s helpful to know the difference between tutoring and brain training.

Adult tutoring is a great way to learn new material and subject matter. Tutoring focuses on delivering information. It’s a great way to refresh information you learned about subjects in school, or to acquire knowledge in a completely new field.

Brain training offers a way to strengthen thinking skills. Rather than delivering information, brain training focuses on strengthening cognitive skills. With brain training, you can target skills like concentration, memory, and processing speed to become a stronger, more confident thinker.

To put it another way, adult tutoring can teach you new information – but you’ll need to rely on your existing learning and thinking skills to retain this information.

Brain training can boost these skills, which makes it easier to learn new information – whether you’re learning by yourself or with a tutor. At the same time, brain training can strengthen the thinking skills you use every day.

Thousands of adult clients have strengthened these skills with LearningRx. Between 2010 and 2018, more than 2,000 adults graduated from LearningRx programs. The average graduate improved by +14 IQ points during this period, and made significant gains in skills like working memory, long-term memory, and attention.
