Get to Know Our Winner!
Kaliyah Hicks proves that persistence and interest are the two key factors for academic success. She openly admits that math has always been both challenging and intriguing for her.
“I enjoy solving problems and figuring out how numbers connect, but learning math has not always been easy.”
Despite these obstacles, Kaliyah remains determined to tackle math topics and never gives up when challenges arise. Her educators also acknowledge that the girl’s genuine interest helps her stay on track in her learning and keep up with her classmates.
“Mathematics is an area where she shows genuine interest.”
Kaliyah already has experience receiving additional learning support through the school’s IEP program. That’s why she knows that this mode of learning helps her succeed even with the most advanced assignments.
“With targeted tutoring and consistent guidance, Kaliyah has shown measurable improvement and increased confidence.”
That’s why Brighterly stepped in to support Kaliyah’s growth with personalized 1:1 tutoring. We believe tailored learning helps every student build confidence and reach their full potential.
