My child and I had a wonderful experience with Brighterly. The instructors were engaging and the lesson plans were customizable to my child. I loved the extra homework they provided to reinforce the skills my child was learning. My child's tutor was Jepril Peña who was a joy to work with. It was very easy to reschedule tutoring sessions around family activities. If you are looking for an engaging, affordable tutoring option for a child who is able to do online learning I highly recommend Brighterly!

Ms. Michelle has been an absolute blessing for Jonah and our family. She doesn’t just teach math. She truly observes, interacts with, and understands Jonah as a learner. Jonah has ADHD and often struggles with focus and attention, but Ms. Michelle took the time to identify his strengths and interests. She thoughtfully customized her approach and developed creative techniques to capture his attention, seamlessly segueing those interests into math lessons. What once felt challenging now feels engaging and achievable for him.
