How We Work

The 3 Mechanisms of Successful Learning

First, we start with what matters – Motivation!

Motivation ignites the thinking and learning pathways in the brain.

Without that drive:

Desire drops to little or nothing.
Boredom reigns.
Spotty error-prone thoughts, confusion and stress abound.

So, we bring the zest! We help students re-awaken their natural curiosity and desire to learn.

To that, we add Know-how.

Know-how controls and optimizes our Executive Functions (EF), which are the brain-based processes we all come with.

Without control:

Attention drifts.
Understanding is lost.
Memory is short-term.
Frustration rises.

So, we teach effective thinking and learning strategies during each session.

And finally, we bolster Skills.

Skills are our current level of ability. They’re fundamental, mental operations like comprehension and problem-solving.

Without skills:

Efforts are wasted.
Overwhelm is common.
Progress is stymied.

So, we pay special attention to developing and enhancing skill ability.

In short, learning gains and personal growth are not about studying more or trying harder. Changes come from more Motivation, Know-how, and Skills.

And it’s our goal to empower you with these tools so that you don’t need us anymore. It all boils down to being a master at the game of learning and achievement.
