"I thought the Brainology program was fun and interesting, and had subjects kids could relate to. I've found ways to remember what I've learned in school and what to do in order to help my brain function and learn WAY better! think Brainology will help me a lot in school"

"I think that the lessons in brainology are compelling and help any person at any stage of life, but especially teens as they do not know what is “normal” and what is not. The program helps them with emotions, learning, stress, and motivation. It changes ones concept of what talent is. Turns out - it's hard work!"
