Education Mentors

PERSONAL TRAINING FOR INTELLECTUAL MATURITY

American high school students can pass a multiple choice test and cram for the next test, but the majority cannot write a coherent essay, discuss current events, quote a poem, locate the Black Sea on a map, enjoy a novel, or recognize propaganda.  In short, many have a diploma, but lack an education.

BrainBuilders Mentors function like personal trainers, strengthening a student’s mental “muscles” with a new take on an old-school model: Individual educational mentoring. During a weekly one-hour session, a BrainBuilders Mentor guides a student through a workout of 12 different academic skills and abilities to increase strength and agility for the game of school . . . and the game life.
