Specialties

At Brainy Learning Center (BLC), we believe in a personalized and customized educational experience. The key to success is building self-​esteem and inspiring students to become life-​long learners through academic achievement while enjoying learning. Located in Rancho Bernardo, Brainy Learning Center offers learning and tutoring services in math, language arts, SAT Prep, Study Skills, and other areas to students of all ages. We do not use a proprietary «method» or «system» as a way to convey information, skills, and strategies through mass produced workbooks or worksheets. BLC hones in on the needs of your child’s strengths and weaknesses and focuses on strategies that will help them be successful, build more confidence, and love to learn. BLC follows the common core standards along with state and national standards, and we provide an individual and team learning experience that is unmatched to any other learning or tutoring service. Our goal is simple: to help your child acquire the tools and life-​long learning skills in math, reading, writing, or other disciplines in order achieve success and build confidence. This will not only benefit him/​her in school, but also in everyday life. Open by appointment only.

History

Established in 2011.

At some point, all students could use a little help, whether it’s reading comprehension, algebra or geography. Often, some extra time outside the classroom focused on that one challenging subject is just the trick to boost their grades and improve their understanding. We really believe each kid can succeed, and because each kid’s needs are different, we personalize the tutoring approach to match that. After teaching in the school system, Shuster realized that what students were lacking was one-​on-​one interaction. We opened Brainy to provide custom attention, not cookie-​cutter programming, to students of all grade levels and in all subjects — in other words, to give them the support they were missing.

Brainy is a place where children can go to get the help they need from teachers. One-​on-​one help or small group help are among the options available. Brainy looks at each child’s strengths and hones in on the skills and uses them as a foundation for building the blocks of success.
