Gemm Program Results

What Makes Gemm So Different?

Gemm's program works on underlying cognitive skills that when strengthened enable dramatically improved levels of reading and academic performance.

The results from our cognitive software -- Fast ForWord and BrainWare -- are different to any achieved by tutors, who most often work around cognitive glitches and focus instead on re-teaching content, repeating the school day. Because tutoring does not change the underlying learning dynamic, gains almost by definition are modest or fleeting.

By contrast, gains from our programs can be profound and enduring. The gains become part of the learner leading to a permanent improvement in the rate of academic progress.
