In all 5 boroughs and LI, our best tutors from top schools are here to help your child achieve academic excellence in this very competitive world, despite learning problems, poor motivation, cognitive weaknesses, learning disability, or poor organization. Brain Academy helps students boost their grades in any subject and improve learning and cognitive skills so that they also excel in all other subjects in the future. Our tutoring program was developed by Dr. Rimma Danov, PhD, a neuropsychologist, specializing in examining cognitive strengths and weaknesses. In the past several years Dr. Danov has been conducting neuropsychological assessments of children and adults who have trouble learning, memorizing, concentrating, and reasoning, which greatly undermined their academic and professional performance. Some students with learning problems suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), ADHD, learning disability (LD), brain injury (TBI), pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), various developmental delays due to premature birth, depression, anxiety, or did not develop good test-taking skills and effective learning skills. Based on her extensive experience and knowledge of how the brain works, what causes specific learning problems, and how cognitive difficulties can be remediated, she has developed a tutoring program that focuses not only on regular help with academic subjects, but also emphasizes students' thinking, reasoning, and information processing and retention skills, as well as addresses test anxiety, low motivation, and low self-esteem.

Tutoring is provided in NYC, QUEENS, BROOKLYN, LONG ISLAND, AND STATEN ISLAND by highly experienced Learning Specialists, who have already demonstrated strong academic achievement, determination to learn, persistence to succeed, and very effective study skills- all of which has helped them achieve the level they are at now. Our Learning Specialists have graduated from Ivy League schools (Harvard, Yale, NYU, Stuyversant, etc) with high GPA and other standardized test scores. No matter who your tutor is at the Brain Academy, you can be sure that your tutor is a high achiever who is happy to share his/her knowledge and skills and who is proud to show a proven track record of excellent learning and high achievement. They are also personable, warm, organized, focused, and determined to improve student's academic performance and motivation to learn and succeed. School work can be tough- we can help to make it a better, more interesting and exciting experience.

Tutoring is 1:1 only, highly individualized, and is available during after school hours, summer, weekends and evenings. Cognitive testing, academic testing, and bilingual assessments are available for all ages in order to reveal students' learning styles, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and, thus, to enhance their learning plan to boost grades.
