My son is half way through the program. Before starting he didn’t like school, was struggling to read at grade level. He is now reading at grade level and loves going to school. The program is intense and requires dedication on the parents part just as much or more so than the students part. It teaches kids to be confident and to not give up. Happy so far with how the program is going. Definitely could be useful to everyone even those not struggling in school. I am going to have my daughter do the writing component of the program to help improve her handwriting skills.
The brain works program was worth every bit of time, money, and effort we put into it for our son. He went from a 7th grade aptitude to the middle of 10th in 8 months putting him right on track with his peers. I’ve noticed he’s happier, more confident, and more willing to do his work. Our instructor was phenomenal and worked easily with our schedule. No regrets here!
We just finished this program with our 10 year old son. Right from the beginning we noticed many positive changes. He is more engaged at home and school, is able to concentrate, and had huge improvements in reading and spelling. His confidence has increased and he is so much happier now that school isnt such a challenge. Carole was amazing to work with. She was so patient and encouraging.This program isnt a magical fix. It is hard. It is time consuming and expensive. But we do not regret it. The benefits we have seen far out weigh the cost and sacrifice. I recommend doing this program when you and your child are willing to give it 100 percent. It is life changing and will forever have a huge impact on my child.
We have tried everything to help our son but nothing seemed to work until we found brain works.Best money we have ever spent. The program is a lot of work and takes a lot of time but the results are priceless and so worth it.We are only half way through the program but have seen so many improvements in our son. His spelling has improved, his focus has improved, his coordination is incredible and he is more accountable and responsible for himself. I can’t wait for the new school year to start and see how much his grades improve and to see the final results at the end of the program.
My daughter just finished the Brain Works program yesterday. We are so pleased with the results she received from program and her instructor Carol. She has gone from not so good grades in school to a 4.0 grade average last term. Parent teacher conferences used to be mostly negative and discuss her disruptiveness and lack of focus in class, to the last parent teacher conference being very positive. One teacher even told me she is the type of student every teacher wants in their class. It was such wonderful news.Almost every day she used to have missing assignments and uncompleted work. Now she completes school work without me having to oversee if it constantly. She is continuing to keep A grades all on her own with me just checking in now and again.In 6 months of doing the Brain Works program her math knowledge went up over 3 grade levels. Her reading went up almost 2 grade levels. She now keeps her room clean without having to be asked. She is more aware of her surroundings and a lot more focused. One of my favorite changes is she does NOT have to be asked numerous times to do something. Mornings flow so much better now.She enjoys reading now. Has more self-confidence and a much happier demeanor these days. She has matured so much in the last few months. I think it’s a combination of a few things, but I give Brain Works majority of the credit. She’s always been a bright kid but now her full potential shows and she is the shining star I always knew she could be.I recommend Brain Works to anyone struggling with learning difficulties or focusing problems. The awesome results do come with a big time and financial commitment though. It’s challenging for both student and parent/helper at times. But if you can fight through the blood, sweat, tears and resistance along with way the results will be amazing.
Cant say I enjoyed the whole process of training with my daughter, but I sure am happy with the results! Grades have improved and learning is fun for a change! My daughter actually has ambitions to go to college now and to think about teaching other children who were in similar situation as she was. So happy with this program and the wonderful trainer we worked with. She was fabulous!!
Our 7 year-old son, Wheeler, was completely disengaged in school. He zoned out. He failed to follow simple instructions, and his self-confidence was badly shaken. I knew and he knew that he wasnt living up to his full potential. When I pulled him out of school to home school him, I was searching and exploring all kind of options when I met a mother who recommended Brain Works to us. We were doing the best we could, but we didn’t have all the tools that Brain Works could give him.Brain Works worked for us. I am thrilled because I saw my son starting to enjoy things that had previously frustrated him. He gained fine motor and gross motor skills. He learned to focus. He’s been able to go back into the classroom successfully with high confidence in his ability to do his best. Wheeler is now able to sit, read and hold onto information. Brain Works really worked for Wheeler. There are no medications involved, which is a huge plus. Brain Works has long lasting effects that stay with him. I would recommend it over everything else that’s out there.
Brain Works really opened our eyes to the potential our daughter had. It was a struggle everyday to help her with school and reading. She is a bright girl but lacked the focus to get everyday tasks done. She always struggled to read and even fell behind her younger sister. We were at a loss. At first we just thought that it was just something we had to deal with until her teachers mentioned that she could be ADHD. They mentioned medication but we werent sold. She wasnt overly hyper and she wasnt disruptive in class. She just had a hard time focusing and staying on task. Thats when we decided to find other help. We heard a radio add for Brain Works and thought we would give them a listen and see what they could offer. Andrew described everything that we were in need of help with our daughter. After talking about the program we knew that this is what she and us needed! The program was very good for her. It helped her become a better student and reader. Our instructor Carol was a dream to work with. Carol was patient and worked well with our daughter teaching her the various exercises each week. As a result our daughter is confident again in what she does. The program is easy and intense at times. It is a huge commitment but we couldnt be happier with the end result! Our daughter has blossomed!
I went through this program when I was a kid. It was a really hard process and I didnt always want to do it but it changed my life and Im glad I did the program. I excelled academically, I went from averaging Ds and Fs to As. Now that Im in college no one would ever know that I had learning difficulties because I do really well in the school and work environments. Im more confident in my ability to learn and carry out tasks. And I retain information that before I couldnt seem to learn. Things that were really hard for me to do are very easy and simple now. Id recommend this program to anyone.
My daughter suffered from a traumatic brain injury at the age of six. It took two years to just get her speech back. She fell well behind in school. She also aquired ADD. I found Brain Works when she was twelve. Megan worked with me through the program. She was amazing!! My daughter gained so much attention and actually began to love to read. It still blows my mind that what we did changed her life forever. I will be eternally grateful for this program and what it has done for my daughter. She is now fifteen and is getting Bs for the first time since her accident. Thank you Brain Works!!!
I put my daughter through this program in hopes it would help her with her day to day struggles through school and home life. My daughter has ADHD and has high anxiety. Her struggles through school were getting so bad....her grades were horrible...doing homework was impossible and she had never recived a passing grade on any tests. I ran across an ad for Brain Works and gave them a call. Within several minutes of talking to Andrew I knew this program was for my daughter! Nervous and leary I jumped in with both feet and signed my daughter up. It was a Big commitment...hard work...tears...laughs...quality time with my daughter...at first the changes in my daughter were subltle but for a mom that has watched her daughter struggle I welcomed any change that was for the best. After completing the program the changes have been small but mighty and I have enjoyed seeing my daughters confidence blossom and her grades so far this year as of mid term are honor roll worthy!!! She doesnt argue with me over her homework or household chores....she just does them with no questions asked. Her backpack and room are not so messy and disorganized!!! My list could go on and on with the changes I have seen in my daughter. I am so thankful that I found Brainworks and that I took a leap of faith and went for it! Completing a 7 month program is nothing that can compare to a life changing opportunity that Brainworks has offered us! I am so excited for my daughters new adventure in llife and I know she is going to do great things! Thank you Andrew and Carol for your commitment to these kids and the program. You are teaching these kids to open their wings and fly!
Bainworks changed our lives for the better. In 2nd grade I knew my daughter could not read independantly. She needed us there every step of the way to help with words she had already been helped with many, many times. My other children had flown through reading and in 2nd grade they were on a 5th grade level.I was so happy to find brainworks. Within six weeks she was reading to me one night from the book I had been reading to her. She struggled a little bit and I felt frustrated until I reallized how six weeks prior I would have never had her attempt to read any of this book.Now my daughter is reading independantly as well as with us and also we continue to read to her. However, she now stays up later at night to finish her book independantly and can discuss the book with us. Before, she hated to read. I want to raise a reader because through reading, anything is possible. Thank you brainworks.
This place has done wonders for my daughter. So glad I took the leap and found a place that REALLY could help her.
