About Me.
BIO
Dina Halaseh holds a master's degree in Educational Psychology and is a member of the British Psychological Society. She joined the LearningRx family in 2013 to become a brain trainer. She works with children and adults to develop their cognitive abilities. With experience in hands-on brain training, she co-founded Mind Matters to help ensure learners achieve their desired levels of success. Prior to being a brain trainer, Halaseh was a teacher who worked with children and teenagers of different abilities. Upon realizing the struggles some of these learners face regularly, she decided to focus on brain development and training to ensure that all learners reach their true potential. |
