Is it possible to have fun and get smarter at the same time? In this video, Dr. Paul Howard, professor of Neuroscience and Education at the UK’s University of Bristol, covers a wide variety of topics including differing intelligences, disposing of neuromyths, and playing to learn more quickly. Dr. Howard notes that teachers are the only professionals responsible for changing the function, connectivity, and even the structure of the brain.
As such, they must be engaged and remember that learning cannot be categorized into specific learning styles — everyone learns differently, but we shoud all have fun doing it. This is a very interesting, compelling journey through the world of neuroscience and styles of learning, and should have viewers quite eager to learn as much as they can from Dr. Howard.
There are specific brain exercises and games you can do with your child to begin to compensate in these areas, and we’d love to help you discover them.

Key takeaways
- It's just as important to dispose of "neuromyths" as it is to learn about areas of improvement.
- Teachers are the only professionals responsible for changing the function, connectivity, and even the structure of the brain.
- Learning styles should not be categorized, because everyone learns differently.
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
