Tutoring focuses on teaching content. Arrowsmith exercises target the underlying cognitive areas of the brain responsible for processing information. While each exercise focuses on a specific cognitive capacity, strengthening one area often supports growth in others. By strengthening neural pathways and rewiring the brain, learning becomes easier because information can be processed more efficiently and accurately.

This is not a behaviour management program, rewards system, or compliance-based approach. We don’t focus on “fixing” behaviour. Instead, we address the underlying cognitive skills that influence how a person processes information, manages emotions, and responds to challenges.
When these cognitive foundations strengthen, behaviour often improves naturally, because learning feels easier, stress is reduced, and confidence grows.

Students often feel independently successful for the first time ever!

This approach focuses on strengthening the underlying cognitive skills the brain uses to process information, manage attention, remember instructions, and make sense of learning. These cognitive capacities form the foundation for academic success, emotional regulation, and everyday functioning.
By developing these skills directly, learning becomes easier, confidence grows, and progress is more sustainable over time.

Attention and focus

Memory and processing

Organisation and reasoning

cognitive stamina and flexibility

When these skills improve, learning becomes more manageable, and confidence grows.
