Who We Support
Parents
Parents often approach Cognitive when their child struggles in school despite trying hard. Some children show inconsistent results, require excessive effort to keep up, or underperform in exams even with tuition. We support children with diagnosed learning difficulties as well as children without formal diagnoses who struggle with mainstream learning demands.
Educators
We work with educators who see students struggling despite remediation and content repetition. Our role is to support learning readiness, learning strategies, and application skills that help children cope better in classroom settings.
Professionals
We collaborate with psychologists, speech therapists, and allied health professionals to support learning transfer, academic readiness, and classroom coping for children with learning difficulties.
Why Tuition Doesn’t Work For Some Children
Tuition focuses on reinforcing school content and practising questions at pace.
While this works for some children, others continue to struggle because the difficulty lies not in effort, but in how they process, retain, and apply learning.
For these children, more tuition can increase pressure without improving understanding — especially when challenges involve attention, memory, application, or coping with exam demands.
Cognitive learning intervention
Learning intervention focuses on strengthening how children learn, rather than increasing drilling or homework.
At Cognitive, learning intervention is designed to address the underlying reasons children struggle, rather than increasing
academic pressure.

Learning support at Cognitive is organised as a learning intervention pathway, not a fixed programme sequence. Children may enter support at different stages depending on their needs, and progress as learning demands change.

Developing reading and writing capabilities
3
Early Intervention (Preschool)
Supporting learning readiness from the earliest stages
4
Primary School Academic Intervention
Strengthening core learning skills during primary years
5
Upper Primary / PSLE Readiness
Preparing for examination demands and transitions
6
Secondary School Academic Intervention
Supporting continued learning through secondary education
Why Parents Choose Cognitive
Parents often turn to Cognitive when traditional tuition has not helped their child make meaningful progress. We offer a psychology-informed approach, providing clarity and effective strategies beyond quick fixes.
Unaddressed Learning Challenges
Tuition often doesn’t address underlying learning challenges, leading to continued struggles despite effort.
Inconsistent Application
Children may understand concepts but struggle to apply them consistently in various academic settings
Frustration & Anxiety
High effort without visible results can lead to significant frustration or anxiety for both children and parents.
Expert Guidance
Families seek our guidance before committing to more classes that may not target the root cause of difficulties.
Holistic Wellbeing
We prioritise the child’s overall wellbeing alongside academic progress, fostering a supportive learning environment.

Success Stories from Parents and Educators
Progress looks different for every child, but parents and educators consistently notice meaningful changes in how children cope with learning challenges.
Improved Confidence
Children develop a stronger belief in their abilities, becoming more willing to tackle new and challenging tasks without excessive fear of failure.
Greater Independence
Students learn to manage their own learning processes, apply strategies, and problemsolve independently, reducing reliance on constant adult supervision.
Better Academic Coping
Children gain effective tools and resilience to navigate academic demands, leading to reduced frustration, anxiety, and improved performance over time.
Professional Trust & Collaboration
Cognitive works with recognised educational and professional institutions through training, professional development, and collaborative initiatives related to learning support and intervention.
These affiliations reflect our commitment to evidence-informed practice and professional standards in supporting children with learning difficulties.
Cognitive Development Learning Centre is a Singapore-based learning intervention centre established in 2009. The centre specialises in supporting children with mild to moderate learning difficulties, including Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Global Developmental Delay, as well as children who struggle to cope in mainstream learning environments.
Cognitive provides customised, psychology-informed learning intervention focused on literacy, attention, learning readiness, and functional academic skills. The centre works with mainstream and special school students, and collaborates with families, educators, and professional institutions to deliver structured, evidence-informed learning support.
