At L.R. Brain Solutions, we accelerate academic proficiency through a neuro-informed, game-based approach that activates both the logical left (L) and creative right (R) hemispheres of the brain, fostering problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills (Al-Khayat, et. al. 2023).

 

Our proprietary Brainiac Method moves beyond traditional tutoring into the realm of elite Academic Coaching to unlock a student's full potential. By merging the discipline of high-performance athletics with the rigor of STEM, we help students navigate high-stakes transitions and advanced curricula with strategic efficiency.

 

Our dedicated team of expert Team Captains are highly-educated mentors passionate about making the learning journey productive, rewarding, and engaging. Every student begins with a personalized Strategic Roadmap derived from our Academic and Learning Style Baseline Assessments.

 

We then coach our students to study smarter to improve assessment scores and accelerate STEM confidence in less than 10 weeks. Ultimately, our mission is to empower every learner to graduate from being a student to becoming the true steward of their own learning journey.

Our Story:
From Concussion to Curriculum

I'm Imani Ware, Founder & CEO of L.R. Brain Solutions.

​

My journey began in high school, where a series of soccer-related concussions forced me to re-learn how to learn from scratch. It was during these high-stakes years that I developed the foundation of The Brainiac Method—a revolutionary approach I later perfected to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Astrophysics from SF State University.

​

By merging the focus of high-performance athletics with the rigor of STEM, we’ve created a unique experience designed to transform how students approach academic pressure. We specialize in preparing students to excel in high-stakes transitions; AP, IB, and Honors level courses; and university-level STEM programs.

​

We don’t just teach the material. We empower you to become the steward of your own learning journey.
