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. 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. Me and Ms. Noelen work together as a team. she really understands my son’s language needs now. Her lesson plans are very good and engaging. During 45 min session, she does two brain break activities which my son really like and able to focus better.

My experience with Brighterly has been great! I love the flexibility with the schedule, make up classes, substitute teachers, etc. My son’s math tutor Mark Shane is excellent, he’s patient, friendly, and such an expert on math. He makes math easy and fun, and my son has learned a lot already. Sharon Joy is my son’s ELA teacher and she is great as well, so patient and nurturing, and knows how to keep my child engaged. Thank you Brighterly, Mark and Sharon for being so amazing!
