Learn what makes us different from other tutoring companies
At L.R. Brain Solutions, we're here to help you get the full picture! Our whole approach is about using both the left (L) and right (R) hemispheres of your brain. Why? Because each side processes information in its own unique way, and when they work together, amazing things happen.
Our dedicated team of incredible tutors are highly-educated and super passionate about making learning productive, rewarding, and—most importantly—fun for everyone! We're all about unlocking your full potential.

Our System
Teaching methods that actually work
Let’s be honest: traditional tutoring is a total drag. Our tutors remember all too well how frustrating and boring it can be, not just for the learner, but for the tutors, too.
It’s completely inefficient! Tutors spend hours getting ready for sessions, only to find the person they're helping needs support with something completely different. This leaves our tutors feeling unprepared and overwhelmed, which then makes you feel unsupported and uninspired.
At L.R. Brain Solutions, we decided to shake things up.
Instead of demanding hours of prep work, we use trusted, state-of-the-art learning frameworks that take out the guesswork for our tutors and students. This framework makes it easy for our team to find the right material for each learner. This is a total game-changer for effective, sustainable learning—and our tutors can focus on what truly matters: making your experience fun and productive.
