Brighterly’s Journey: From A Small Idea To 100,000+ Happy Parents

Step 1

2022 The spark

Brighterly’s founder and CEO, Eugene Kashuk, saw a recurring issue in US education — the one-size-fits-all system. That’s how Brighterly was born, with the idea to give each learner exactly what they need. Back in 2022, we offered only math lessons for grades 1-9, but already had long-standing ambitions.

Step 2

2023 “Growing reach”

In 2023, we launched Brighterly’s own learning platform — a single space where tutors and learners could connect more easily, with extra tools and features to support the learning process. It was also the year we reached our first major growth milestone, expanding our user base to 1000 users and growing our tutor community to 100+ tutors.

Step 3

2024 Reading revolution

As our community grew, we kept hearing about another major challenge families face in the U.S. education system: gaps in reading and ELA skills. Many parents asked whether Brighterly could bring the same approach we used in math to these areas as well. In 2024, we expanded our offerings to include tailored lessons in ELA.

Step 4

2025 Recognized for impact

In 2025, Brighterly was named a finalist in the EdTech Digest Awards in two categories — Math Solution and Tutoring Solution. It was an important moment of industry recognition and a sign that the impact we were building was being noticed beyond our own community.

Step 5

Today “AI-powered learning”

We closely follow ed-tech trends and keep integrating AI-powered tools for an even higher level of personalization. Lately, we’ve launched AI Lesson Summaries — a feature that highlights key lesson insights and creates opportunities for better knowledge retention. And we won’t stop there, as even more updates are yet to come.

Our Mission And Vision

Building the basics

First, we solidify the basics, and only then move on to the complex topics. This ensures that kids can understand the connections across topics, not explore them in isolation.

Improving confidence

We explain concepts and provide the context for their use. We also introduce real-world scenarios of use, making our learners more confident in solving non-trivial tasks.

Falling in love with learning

We make learning positive through interactivity and careful topic selection. First, kids become curious and eager to start their next lesson. Then they become lifelong learners with love towards the process.

What We Offer

Unlock your child’s full potential in math and reading

Brighterly Learning Approach

Personalized 1:1 learning

At our lessons, there’s only a kid and a tutor. This close communication builds trust and ensures that educators know and can address all of the students’ strengths and weaknesses.

Strong foundation first

First, we ensure that a child has a strong grasp of all the basics in math or reading. We fill in all the gaps and only then do we introduce complex topics.

Confidence through practice

Our teaching provides real-world context for every piece of knowledge. So, kids know precisely when and where they can apply the theory.

Engaging and interactive lessons

Brighterly lessons are never boring! To keep young learners focused, we use gamification and interactivity in each lesson. Plus, we align all elements with a kid’s interests.
