How it Works
Once you select the BrainPro program for your child, you’ll be asked to choose a BrainPro Tutor who will help your child get the most from the program by:
- Assigining your child to the correct product
- Monitoring progress remotely and advancing him when he’s ready
- Working with you to answer questions and suggest ways to improve
Our Tutors
BrainPro Tutors have – on average – 20 years of educational experience. Your BrainPro Tutor will monitor your child’s progress and communicate with you remotely, via email and/or phone calls – providing you with detailed information on how to help your child with exercises she finds more challenging. You can select a BrainPro Tutor based on criteria that’s important to you: educational background, professional specialty, years of experience, or even time zone.
