Why GradePower?
To help our kids In Kentuckiana succeed
Like many parents, we hope our child will do well in school. When she's not, we had to look for help. In Louisville, we sent her to private schools and tried several tutoring centers, all with not much success. We couldn't find a tutoring service that doesn't do more of the same — re-teach information, help students memorize them and hopefully pass the tests.
Our child deserves more than that. We found the solution in GradePower Learning® centers. But there isn't a center in Louisville. Now what?
So we decided to start one in Louisville.
THE GRADEPOWER LEARNING® DIFFERENCE
We focus on understanding your child before providing the help and support needed to be successful. Your child can expect:
- Help in developing strong cognitive skills to integrate new and more complex information. Most students move on to the next grade before fully understanding their current grade level subject areas due to weak cognitive skills.
- A comfortable and fun environment for asking questions and learning, where failure is not feared but accepted. It means you tried. You're one step closer to success, to paraphrase Edison.
- A place where students can learn at their own speed.
- A selection of different subject areas — from math to English.
- Study and organizational skills that keep students efficient inside and outside of the classroom.
- Support and help from our highly-trained instructors and educators.

What is Cognitive Learning?
Cognitive is a fancy adjective in psychology for cognition — the process of gaining knowledge and understanding. Cognition refers to our thinking — our ability to process information, reason, remember, and relate through our senses and experience. Without developed cognitive skills, children fall behind when they can't integrate new information.
The ability to learn and make sense of new information is crucial to successful learning. That’s why developing cognitive learning skills is key to what we do.
IS TUTORING RIGHT FOR MY CHILD?
Tutoring is not always about your child receiving poor marks. If your child is feeling frustrated with learning, or if you are looking to advance his or her skills, tutoring could be the answer.
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS DOING WELL IN SCHOOL, CAN YOU HELP THEM?
GradePower Learning® provides enriched programming and preparation streams so your child can become an even better student. You know that your child’s potential is limitless, and we feel the same way.
WILL MY CHILD’S GRADES IMPROVE?
Your child’s success is not simply about receiving good grades. Of course, our method is proven to help children achieve a high-degree of academic success, but we also focus on things outside of the classroom. We encourage your child to be more comfortable, confident, and passionate in his or her learning.
HOW DO YOU TEACH MY CHILD TO LEARN?
GradePower Learning® is based on a cognitive approach, where your child learns in a way that is comfortable. New ideas are blended into your child’s existing knowledge.
AM I INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS AS MY CHILD LEARNS?
Absolutely! We'll have regular scheduled progress reviews to discuss what your child has been working on, progress, and the goals, moving forward. And other times as needed. We are also available to attend parent-teacher conferences. Parents, teachers are crucial in our children’s learning process.
WHAT IS A DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT?
It's a low pressure, discussion-and-laughter-filled session with a GradePower Learning® coach. It give us a holistic cognitive profile of your child. Most assessments focus only on your child’s academic situation, GradePower’s Dynamic Assessment™ also measures learning skills, aptitude as well as self-esteem. We use the results to develop a plan for success just for your child.
