In October 2026, Brighterly surpassed 1,000,000 lessons on our platform, including more than 600,000 math classes and 400,000 lessons in reading.

This milestone shows our commitment to making 1:1 learning accessible to kids across the US, helping them strengthen foundational skills and improve their grades.

One Million Lessons in Math and Reading

Our 1,000,000 milestone refers to the number of personalized one-on-one lessons conducted on our platform. Although we first introduced ELA and reading support only two years ago, today it accounts for almost as much of our lessons as our math classes.

How Brighterly Has Grown Since Launch

Brighterly was born as a math-only platform for kids in grades 1-9. Its aim was to substitute the one-size-fits-all US educational system with a personalized approach to each kid. Since then:

In 2023, we reached our first milestone — 1000+ users and 100+ tutors regularly interacting on our learning platform.
In 2024, Brighterly expanded, now becoming a tutoring space for both math and reading.
In 2025, Brighterly became a finalist in two categories at the EdTech Digest Awards — Math Solution and Tutoring Solution.
In 2026, we launched new AI-powered features, including Math and Reading practice centers and Homework helper. Kids using our platform also receive AI-generated lesson summaries after each class.

Eugene Kashuk, Brighterly Founder, on the Milestone

Eugene Kashuk, the founder and CEO of Brighterly, comments on the milestone.

“It feels like just yesterday we taught our first math lesson, and now we’ve delivered one million.”

When a family joins Brighterly, they’re hoping to find someone who will understand their child and know how to help. That’s a very personal thing to trust us with. I’m grateful to the families who gave us a chance and to our tutors for becoming people those families can count on.
