Parent & Student Success Stories

We started brighterly ELA three month ago. My son is autistic and very behind in reading. He was not making progress even with in person instruction.I took a trial with Brighterly and decided to give it try for 1 year. Brighterly changed my son’s instructor 3 times to find the perfect fit for his needs. We finally have a tutor and she is amazing. Her name is Noelen. It’s been three month with her and he is progressing well. His instruction is individualized and slow paced.

My daughter was having a great time during her trial demo lesson ! It was crazy , she begged me to allow her to do another session right after her 45 minute one ! She was so happy to get thing right ! She was praised and high fived virtually and even got a certificate! But what i liked the most is , I didn’t know that my child actually comprehend what she was reading . It’s one thing to read ! But the instructor was asking her questions about the story she ready and she did amazing !

We have two amazing tutors. Mr Nathaniel and Miss Victoria. They are patient, kind, and caring. They explain and ask questions to check for understanding. They allow some time for “ice breakers” (fun activity), and getting her comfortable. We have already seen progress, especially her independent work! We are so happy to see her confidence coming through again. 🙌🏻 well done, to our wonderful tutors!!
