03 Students

Academic Excellence Programs

Many students struggle to learn even with adequate instruction. The root cause is often a cognitive processing problem that, left unnoticed, can lead to poor academic performance, frustration and low self-esteem.

Our programme identifies each individual's specific cognitive-skill weaknesses and delivers specific, targeted training, making it the ideal tool for a struggling student to improve academic performance. We always provide a supportive, positive learning environment in which every student is engaged and challenged in their pursuit of excellence.

This programme suits students performing around average who need one extra push to reach the higher end of the scale, as well as advanced students already doing well who want to achieve even more.

Through our academic excellence programmes, we build higher-order abstract, critical and creative thinking skills in a fun-filled way.

Homework & Academic Struggles

Are homework struggles causing chaos in your house? Too much homework, or taking too long to finish it, is often a sign of an underlying learning-skills weakness.

Are homework struggles causing chaos in your house? Do you dread each evening, knowing what's ahead?

Students who struggle academically at school, or take too long over homework, usually do so for a reason. Too much homework, or taking too long to complete it, is often a sign of an underlying learning-skills weakness. Specific underlying learning skills are essential for easy, successful learning, and if those weaknesses stay hidden, students have to work much harder to learn, often without success.

Professional cognitive skills testing from BrainRx is the best way to pinpoint the exact cause of any learning problem, homework struggles included. BrainRx testing can also uncover unrealised potential in advanced students looking for a competitive edge.

Reading Struggles / Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that can affect fluency in reading, writing and spelling, often alongside memory and processing-speed challenges.

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that can affect fluency in reading, writing and spelling.

Children with dyslexia can also face difficulties in other areas of learning, including memory and processing speed, as well as learning how to learn (metacognition). For this reason, they may still experience learning difficulties throughout life even as their reading skills improve.

Auditory processing, the brain's skill for identifying and segmenting sounds, is critical for reading success and for overcoming dyslexia-related problems. Studies show that 85% of struggling readers have weak auditory processing skills.

Through our BrainRx training programme, around 2,112 clients with dyslexia improved their auditory processing skills by an average of 27 percentile points. Average gain in age-equivalent cognitive skill performance: 3.6 years. Average IQ gain: 13 standard points.

ADHD / ADD

One of the most common childhood disorders, often continuing through adolescence and adulthood, marked by difficulty focusing, controlling behaviour and hyperactivity.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders, and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms often include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behaviour and impulsivity, and hyperactivity, and these can interfere with a child's ability to function at school and at home.

Do you or your child:

✓Struggle to listen to and/or follow instructions?
✓Become easily distracted from the task assigned?
✓Have difficulty multitasking?
✓Act impulsively or interrupt others?
✓Often need things repeated?
✓Become impatient easily?
✓Struggle to sit still, or stay seated?
✓Have difficulty paying attention?

If the answer to any of these is yes, you or your child may be experiencing symptoms of an attention disorder such as ADHD or ADD.

Please note: while there is no universal ADHD cure, our programme provides a natural, drug-free approach for kids and adults built on practice and science-based techniques. ADHD medication for adults or children is not prescribed as part of our solution.

Dyscalculia

A broad term for learning difficulties in maths, affecting about 5% of people, from confusing symbols to reversing numbers.

Dyscalculia comes from Greek and Latin and simply means counting badly. Today the word is a broad term for learning difficulties in maths. About 5% of people struggle with this learning disability.

Do you or your child experience any of the following?

✓Difficulty working with numbers
✓Confusion over math symbols
✓Difficulty with basic math (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing)
✓Reversing or transposing numbers (89 becomes 98)
✓Difficulty with mental math
✓Trouble telling time and direction
✓Poor long-term memory

Cognitive skills training is the only approach that treats the root of the problem, by strengthening the weak mental skills directly.

The Basics

What are cognitive skills?

Cognigrow is Oman's first licensed center to conduct BrainRx programs, powered by LearningRx, the world's largest brain-training network, with over 100,000 clients across 195+ centers. We assess and strengthen your core cognitive skills through fully individualized, one-to-one programs.

These skills are attention, memory, processing speed, logic and reasoning, and auditory and visual processing. Whether you're a student, professional, athlete, or simply struggling with focus, reading or comprehension, our training helps you learn faster, read better, remember more and think on your feet. Let's unlock your potential: learning feels easier, thinking gets faster, and performance rises.

The core skills your brain uses to pay attention, read, learn, think, understand, remember and reason are your cognitive skills. They matter for tasks from the simplest to the most complex, at every stage of life. Perception, attention, memory, motor skills, language, visual and sensory processing, and executive function are the cognitive skills every person needs and uses. Each one plays a vital part in processing new information, so when even one is weak, it hampers brain function, leading to most learning struggles and attention-deficit issues.

How Learning Works

The Learning Model

Cognitive skill efficiencyAcademic & work performance

Learning relies on a set of core cognitive abilities: attention, memory, processing speed, logic and reasoning, and visual and auditory processing. When these skills are weak, children often become frustrated and find school difficult because they struggle to take in and make sense of new information. The same weaknesses can limit adults in the workplace, leaving capable employees stuck in roles that don't reflect their true potential.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Cognigrow?

✓Individualised, tailor-made programmes designed for your child's needs.
✓Long-lasting effects even after training ends, as evidenced by many in their daily lives.
✓We only train, we don't tutor.
✓It's targeted: focused mainly on the skills that need strengthening.

Do you work with adults, professionals and companies?

Yes, absolutely. Cognigrow is for every age from 4 to 99, not students alone. Alongside children and university students, we train working professionals and executives, and design programmes for employees in corporate settings, group workshops as well as one-to-one sessions.

A faster, smarter brain supports career development, earning potential and performance at work. We also use scientifically validated psychometric assessments for recruitment, team development and leadership.

Is brain training just for students?

Not at all. It's for age groups from 4 to 99. Because cognitive weaknesses aren't necessarily strengthened by time, children who struggle with reading, learning, reasoning, remembering or paying attention often grow into adults with the same struggles. Many of our clients are, in fact, adults of all ages and stages of life, from the college-bound, to career-builders, to seniors.

How different are you from "Tutoring"?

Tutoring re-teaches material a student should already have learned, or missed, say, if your child was home with the flu or had a string of substitute teachers. If identifiable circumstances interfered with how the information reached your child, and your child's cognitive skills are strong, hiring someone to re-deliver that information makes sense.

But before investing in tutoring, ask a different question first: how strong is my child's ability to learn? Our testing and training strengthens the key underlying mental skills essential for easy, fast learning, instead of trying to compensate for skill weaknesses. If a skill weakness is the root cause of your child's learning struggle, tutoring alone cannot correct it.

What causes reading struggles?

One of the main reasons for reading struggles is weak auditory processing, the cognitive skill that lets us identify, segment and blend sounds. Other weak skills can interfere too: poor attention means a reader is easily distracted, poor memory interferes with recall, and poor visual processing keeps a reader from building the mental pictures that help them comprehend and engage with what they've just read. We work on each of these weaknesses separately, and by the end of the programme you'll see a marked change in performance.

Will learning struggles be outgrown?

In most cases, no. Learning, reading or attention difficulties rarely go away with time. If you sense your child is struggling, take action.

People who struggle to learn or read do so for a reason. New brain science shows individual cognitive-skill weaknesses are the most likely cause (80%) of learning disabilities.

We could always accommodate the problem by lowering expectations or focusing only on strengths, but that limits your child's future potential. Only professional testing and training can identify and overcome the exact cause of a learning struggle, and build a strategy for immediate and lifelong change.
