I highly recommend all parents of all ages look into starting with an assessment with the Brain Accelerator. The Brain Accelerator uses the Gibson Test of Cognitive Skills to review different areas of your child's brain, from working memory, long-term memory, auditory, visual processing, logic and reasoning, processing speed, auditory memory and different areas.The Brain Accelerator, led by the head Aalia Thobani, takes an hour to 1.5 hours to run through the detailed insights of the assessment of your child, showcasing areas based on their age: - where they're at - where they should be - areas for improvement - where they're doing very well I think, as parents, we have these instincts for our children, but this assessment gives a thorough review of it and showcases what we feel. I highly recommend it! I was very impressed with the team and the thoughtful and kind trainers and how they interacted with my seven-year-old son during the assessment. I'm very much looking forward to starting the Brain Accelerator program of 80+ hours for my son in the new term!Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience with Brain Accelerator and couldn’t be happier with the progress our son made. It was genuinely a transformative experience for him and for us as a family, and we could clearly see the positive impact on his development, confidence, and abilities. A very special thank you to Mr. T, who was his teacher. His dedication, patience, and support made a huge difference, and we are extremely grateful for everything he did for our son. We would also like to thank Ms. Alia, who leads Brain Accelerator, for creating such a positive, caring, and impactful environment for the children. Highly recommended!Posted on Google![]()

The brain accelerator is has been an absolute game changer!
