“Now that’s an intelligent person.”

Have you ever said that about someone and, if so, what gave you that impression? There were clues, naturally. Maybe you listened to that person talk on lots of different topics with ease. Perhaps you’ve observed that she’s particularly good at some talent or skill.

IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient, and it’s measured by a number of tests. But more than a numerical score, what it looks like in real life is the ability to function and respond appropriately in any given moment. In other words, intelligence can typically be seen, translating into things like actions, choices, decisions and even achievements in everyday life.

What makes intelligence? It’s actually a composite of many different things. Of course, many gifted children have a high IQ.

One component is knowledge. When you set out to solve a problem or function in a social setting, you’re taking information you’ve learned in the past (whether it’s the boiling point of water, someone’s name, or which fork to use to eat your salad) and applying it to your current situation. So intelligence requires knowledge.

The other thing you need for intelligence is cognitive skills. What mental skills do you bring to a problem or situation? Do you have really good logic and reasoning? Can you focus on a task for a long time? Do you see the big picture really well, or are you more likely to see details at a fine resolution? Do you have a strong working memory? Can you remember and follow directions exceedingly well? It’s one thing to have knowledge, but sharp mental skills are critical if you want to remember, reorganize and apply that knowledge to specific tasks, problems or situations.

Having tuition in academic areas definitely will not be able to help in your child’s cognitive functions.

Want a smart combination? Pursue both.

What we do

We work in close partnerships with parents to give their children sharper cognitive skills, & coupled with problem solving questions, in turn increases IQ.

Our Cognitive Assessment goes beyond traditional IQ testing. It measures core cognitive skills critical for learning. Call us to find out more!

Here’s a Sample Cognitive Profile report.

My son's thinking skills has definitely improved after being here. Now, he is able to do his work independently. He used to be so dependent on me when it comes to doing work. His confidence has improved too.

Mrs Angie Tan, Parent

My girl's Math scores improved tremendously after she attended the lessons here. She enjoys the class and doesn't even find it as extra tuition.

Mrs C. K. Lim, Parent

My son finds the puzzles fun and engaging. He's always looking forward to his class.

Mrs Chng, K2, Parent

My girl's comprehension has improved greatly. I am extremely happy that she has picked up reading after attending lessons here. She used to be a reluctant reader in the past. It was a concern as I know reading is the key to good English.

Mr Alex Ng, Parent

From being a reluctant thinker, my son is now happy and willing to take up challenges and think for solutions. He has greater persistence and focus after coming here. These are important factors for academic achievements.

Mrs S. J. Goh, Parent

The lessons cater to my child's individual needs. Also, as they are conducted in small groups, my child has the much needed attention. My child is always looking forward to coming here. She enjoys the lessons.

Mrs June Leong, Parent
