Assessment and support for learning difficulties, ADHD, dyslexia, and giftedness, along with career guidance for children, adolescents, and families.
Difficulties with learning or school performance can have many causes: specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, emotional factors such as exam anxiety, difficulties with attention and concentration, or simply a lack of effective study strategies and tools.
At Centre )Eines(, we offer academic guidance and specialized learning support in Barcelona for children, adolescents, and their families, with an approach that brings together emotional and cognitive needs.

Academic guidance is an educational psychology service that helps children and adolescents improve their school performance by identifying the underlying causes of their difficulties (whether emotional, cognitive, or related to learning) and providing practical strategies and tools to study more effectively.
It is advisable to seek support if your child’s school performance does not reflect their abilities, they experience anxiety before exams, struggle to concentrate or sustain attention, feel unable to get started on or complete tasks, or show a persistent loss of motivation and interest in learning.
Tutoring focuses on academic content: reviewing material and helping with homework.
