At Successlab, success not only means an improved report card, it means a permanent improvement in your child’s ability to learn. For life.

While conventional tutoring services are increasingly in demand, they are consistently falling short of what parents want for their children. With a focus on "teaching to the test" and short-term success, students often become dependent on tutors for each new curriculum challenge.

Now the SuccessLab approach is providing children with more than a band-aid solution to learning difficulty and low test scores. Our program is effective because it addresses not just subject matter, but the roots of learning - a child's cognitive, sensory and perceptual abilities - literally "training the brain" and raising intellectual performance.

Refined over 50 years of professional practice and in use in over 500 schools, this scientific approach has been proven to significantly improve grades and test scores. And, while our methodology is scientific, our approach is very personal.

Since our programs are designed to help students reach success in less time, we offer a better value and a more enjoyable experience. We care about the children who come through our doors. That doesn't mean we want to keep them here forever.

Successlab helps your child realize improvements in:

• Grades • Attitude • Motivation • Concentration • Attention Span •

The Successlab Difference

In the No Child Left Behind era of increased accountability and focus on student performance, teachers and students are facing mounting pressures to perform. Yet teachers aren’t being equipped to address the wide diversity of skills and abilities that students bring to the classroom. In the race for higher test scores, some children either fall behind or find that they aren’t being challenged enough. Enter the tutoring companies. A $4 billion industry, tutoring today is big business. Unfortunately most conventional tutoring provides more of the same temporary solutions that address only the symptoms of the problem through more intensive teaching of one specific skill set. These services rely solely on content-focused teaching, rather than pinpointing the underlying or hidden learning obstacles that are causing your child to struggle.

Now, SuccessLab Learning Centers is the only retail tutoring chain licensed to provide educational programming incorporating the Structure of Intellect (SOI®) and Integrated Practice Protocol (IPP®) models of academic development. The SOI/IPP approach focuses on 43 separate cognitive, sensory and perceptual skills to determine how each student learns, where his or her skill levels are relative to where they should be and why. For students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, the result is a truly customized development program based on the five building blocks of successful learning.

SuccessLab Centers feature:

• Individualized instruction.
• Unique facilities for developing reading, math and study skills, as well as cognitive and perceptual skills.
• Continuous monitoring of each student's progress via our SuccessLink™ learning management system.
• Frequent reports on your child's progress to keep you informed and involved.

How can I tell if my child needs help in learning?

Learning gap symptoms are easy to spot. Trouble following directions and completing work at school, homework taking longer than it should, inability to focus on learning tasks, lowered grades and test scores, poor handwriting, lack of motivation, difficulties in math and reading comprehension—these are all warning signs that your child is falling behind. We can help.

Why we will make a real difference in your child’s school performance…

At SuccessLab, we have found that improving the ability to learn is equally as important as mastering subject matter. Unless a student has the requisite underlying skills that are the foundation for learning, attempts to remediate academic deficiencies are likely to fail. Regardless of how dedicated the teachers or how high the quality of the curriculum, strengthening these foundational skills is essential to reaching full learning potential.

Why SuccessLab is better than other tutoring programs…

In addition to expert instruction in reading, math, writing and study skills, SuccessLab offers a proven, systematic approach to assessing and developing the foundational skills on which successful learning depend. These learning skills are Cognitive (intellectual abilities developed with written exercises) and Perceptual (auditory, visual and sensory-motor integration developed with physical & behavioral exercises). Only SuccessLab Centers offer the specialized sensory-motor equipment and trained instructors for these programs.

Why our programs are quickly becoming ‘the standard’…

The scientific basis of SuccessLab’s unique Cognitive and Perceptual Mastery programs is the Guilford/Meeker Structure of Intellect™ (SOI®) Model. This research established that intellect is a structure of multiple intelligences, each of which can be independently assessed and developed. Adapted to the K-12th school environment and refined in over thirty years of professional practice, the SOI Model was combined with the Meeker Integrated Practice Protocol® (IPP™) method in a series of cognitive, perceptual and motor function exercises for strengthening intelligences and permanently raising intellect. These SOI/IPP skill assessment techniques and development exercises are currently used in over 400 schools, and have been shown to significantly raise grades and test scores by improving the student’s cognitive abilities. Once developed, these skills become the basis for lifelong abilities and confidence for mastering any learning task.

SuccessLab programs focus on school-aged children K-12th, and are effective across the learning spectrum—remedial, enrichment and gifted learners can all benefit

Types of Programs

What types of programs does SuccessLab offer?

Flexibility is the hallmark at SuccessLab Learning Centers. Unlike “one size fits all” tutoring centers that drive every student through the same canned curriculum, we extensively screen and assess each student to determine how mind, body, auditory and vision systems are working together. Based on the results, we create a customized program to address your child’s specific needs and learning style.

1. Perceptual Skills Assessment First, we will conduct an assessment of your child's visual and auditory systems and sensory-motor integration to determine if your child has the primary abilities necessary to learn to his or her full potential. . This is not a matter of whether they have good vision or hearing, it's a much more comprehensive analysis of their information processing skills. The appointment takes approximately one hour and we ask that the parent(s) be present during this time. At the end of the assessment, we'll walk you through the results and discuss your child's individual strengths and challenges. This report is yours to keep. For a limited time, click here to schedule your skills assessment at NO CHARGE (a $150 value).

2. Cognitive Assessment If you find the SuccessLab program a good match for your child, our next step is to assess your child's cognitive skills to identify higher-level areas that need attention such as comprehension, memory, problem solving and strategic thinking. This is a patented, written assessment that scientifically measures the 27 abilities essential for learning. The cognitive assessment results in a 20-page report that reveals where the child's skill levels are relative to where they should be and most importantly, why. This report is also yours to keep.

3. Academic Assessment Finally, we evaluate your child's specific reading, writing and math skills to see where they need focused help in important content areas. Click here to reach a SuccessLab Center near you to get more information about our Academic Assessment.

Based on these assessment results, we design a customized program that will strengthen underdeveloped areas and challenge those that are already strong, whether these are based in their perceptual, cognitive or academic abilities. This comprehensive approach is what allows students to raise their intellectual performance permanently.

Success Stories

By building learning abilities from the ground up, each student has a strong base from which to achieve their own definition of success, whether that means a better report card, less difficulty with homework, or getting into the college of their choice.
