About Brain Power
We Teach Students How to Think, Not What to Think.
Brain Power pioneered a new category of education: Intellectual Enrichment.
For over 30 years, we've gone beyond tutoring to develop higher-order thinking — helping students analyze, question, and create at a level few their age can.
Our PhD and expert-led discussion-based group class programs in math, language arts and public speaking unlock skills that last a lifetime. Creating the distinct ability to reason, communicate, and lead with confidence. Because true academic excellence isn't about repetition. It's about understanding.
Critical Thinking
Analyze, evaluate, and think independently
Creativity
Imagine, innovate, and think differently
Problem Solving
Tackle complex challenges
with confidence
Communication
Express ideas with precision and impact
Our Programs
What We Do
From 1st grade through to high school, our programs help bright students move beyond the basics — developing the logic, creativity, and confidence that drive success in school and beyond.
Math & Problem Solving
Math as a Way of Thinking.
From Math Masters (Grades 1–12) to Advanced Olympiad Prep (Grades 8–10), our programs teach math as a language of logic and creativity. Students engage with puzzles, spatial reasoning, and real-world challenges — preparing for STEM pathways at Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, and Waterloo.
"We simply found Brain Power was by far the best math program."
— Philip Farb, Parent
Language Arts
Creativity as a Competitive Advantage.
Through literature, vocabulary development, grammar, and analytical and creative writing, students develop a voice that's as clear as it is compelling. From early reading foundations (Grades 1–6) to essay mastery (Grades 8–10), our students become strong writers, persuasive thinkers, and confident communicators — ready for any academic or professional setting.
"We are overjoyed that Zachary has won Gold in the Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition — one of the world’s most prestigious platforms for young writers."
— Vicky Lou, Parent
Public Speaking
Transformational Confidence.
Starting in middle school, students learn how to command a room, craft arguments, negotiate and lead with clarity. Through debate, rhetoric, and communication psychology, they gain the poise and influence of tomorrow's leaders.
“With Brain Power’s guidance, Cora won Speakers Idol with confidence"
— Cora Usurulu, Brain Power Alumus

THE BRAIN POWER DIFFERENCE
Not Tutoring. Not Test Prep. After-School Enrichment — and Something Far Greater.
Other programs teach students what to remember. We teach them how to think. We call it intellectual enrichment.
Brain Power is an after-school enrichment program designed for bright, curious students already at or above grade level. While other programs focus on repetition, worksheets, and remediation, we take a completely different approach. Our PhD and expert-led classes are discussion-based, interdisciplinary, and designed to challenge students — not just help them catch up.
We go beyond homework to develop higher-order skills like critical thinking, creative reasoning, and confident communication — the abilities that truly set students apart in school, university, and life.
How We're Different
Intellectual Enrichment, not tutoring
Multi-disciplinary integration (Math, Language Arts, Public Speaking)
PhD and expert-led, discussion-based group classes
Joyfully challenging — designed to engage and motivate bright minds
Anti-screen, pro-human philosophy rooted in mentorship and connection
