GradePower Learning Center Opens in Birmingham, Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- The new GradePower Learning Center will be opening May 4 in Birmingham on Hwy. 280 in the Village at Lee Branch. This is one of the first GradePower locations to open in the United States.

GradePower is the only learning center of its kind in North America that helps students of all grade levels “learn how to learn.” It focuses on “the whole child” by developing not only students’ academic knowledge, but more importantly their cognitive abilities and active thinking skills. Along with basic school skills such as reading and math, GradePower helps students enhance their active thinking abilities, which improves their confidence and self-esteem.

“Confidence is a big part of helping children get better grades,” says Tony Mauro, Owner and Executive Director of GradePower Birmingham. “When children start to feel better about their learning abilities, they can accomplish anything. We’re really happy to be bringing these learning opportunities to the Birmingham community.”

Each GradePower program begins with a dynamic, in-depth assessment of a child’s learning strengths and weaknesses. This process provides invaluable insight to the parent and student. GradePower then customizes a program where specifically meet each child’s individual needs. GradePower Birmingham will be open to coincide with summer learning skills development and enrichment, along with ACT and SAT test prep.

“It’s a perfect time to introduce GradePower to the community,” says Mauro. “Research into summer learning shows that students can lose up to 30 percent of their academic skills over the summer break. Combined with the heightened focus on standardized testing, keeping cognitive skills sharp over the summer is important. Just two hours a week are all most kids need to stay ahead and get ready for fall college entrance exams.”

Birmingham families are invited to visit the new GradePower on Saturday, May 4, from 10am-1pm during its Grand Opening celebration. Exclusive assessment and enrollment packages will be available to families who attend. Plus, multiple families will have a chance to win a free dynamic learning assessment. Local caricature artist Ed Abernathy from We Draw You will also be there with free caricature portraits for the kids.
