Based in science and full of tips and tricks, the classes will educate your children about how to use their brains to be better students. In each lesson we will have a presentation of the topic material, followed by discussion and a short quiz for review. The first week, we will discover the fundamentals of executive functions, and explore why they are an essential part of learning. I'll introduce the brain and how these functions work in the brain.
