Our tutor is fantastic, she has a way to correct my daughter that does not make her feel ashamed. My daughter is highly engaged throughout the entire time. And I really think it is making a difference... See more

I love that the lesson was fun for my son. Even when he got an answer wrong, the instructor helped him review and come up with the correct answer on his own so he understood the problem.

Very professional

My daughter is very happy. She has the confidence to ask her tutor if she doesn’t understand something and her tutor is very patience, kind and professional.

strange behavior

The past tutor is incredible and but I have to put into attention of one tutor, Teacher Mark Juviel. My son takes classes with him but there was an instance I saw him acting like documenting the class. he hovers in his device and acts like he is chatting with him but seems like he is doing something different. my son likes him but it is my responsibility to protect my child and I want to report this strange behavior. this is not the experience we signed up for. My son is kind and so I always tell him to be careful who to trust and stand up for himself if he is clearly uncomfortable. i am planning to enroll my nephew but this experience just doesn’t do it for us.

We are treating this matter with the full attention and responsibility it requires.

We would also greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you personally, both about this specific situation and your overall experience with us. We kindly ask you to contact us through the communication channel associated with the account you use to log in to our platform

At the same time we genuinely happy to hear that your son enjoys his class with this tutor and completely realize that as parent, you need to feel confident about the environment in which your child is learning.

Great for Summer Break

I love using them while my kids are on summer break. This is the best way to divert your kids from using any gadgets/video games into a learning education. I used them primarily for this summer and would like to use their service again in the future.

Dear Siddharth,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we deeply apologize for the frustration caused by the missed sessions and rescheduling issues with your previous tutor. This does not align with the standard of service we hold ourselves to.

Our supervisor has reached out directly to address these concerns, and we are glad we were able to coordinate a new schedule and pair you with a fantastic new tutor.

We will also be following up with you personally after your next lesson to ensure everything runs smoothly and to your complete satisfaction.

We truly appreciate your patience as we make things right.

Kind Regards,
Brighterly Team

Benevolent

This institution is very ambiguous with there tools of knowledge. They genuinely care for the students success. I’m honored to have my student to be apart of this institution to grown into his comprehensive abilities. The staff had a profound effect on my student that will continue to leave a lasting impression on him for life.

It's hard to recommend a company like this

It's hard to recommend a company like this when it seems like little to no effort was done to understand the scenario. I was interviewing for a tutoring job, and the questions they asked were very common. I thought I did well, and then got an immediate rejection within minutes. Yikes. This always gets me a bit agitated as it seems the person doing the actual screening doesn't quite understand the point I was getting across. The question was how to engage an unmotivated student (a typical tutoring scenario). I've tutored for ten years with American students, so I am familiar with this scenario. I then explained how to engage students like this by asking them how they feel, if everything is ok? In other words acting concerned but not nosy. American students like teachers who are concerned about them but not nosy. However, by asking these questions you show empathy and concern for their well being which will usually grab the student's attention. I then also explained how it helps in this scenario by building rapport with the students. How do you build rapport with students? By talking about your own experience and relating it to the lesson. I am not sure what part of this was not clear to the screener, or if they have actually taught lessons with students (my instinct says no), but then I got this long response: "found it challenging to clearly identify a structured approach to explaining material, as well as the level of engagement and soft skills required to maintain interactive and student-centered lessons." It's almost like they didn't watch my actual answer to the question being posed since I DID use soft skills to talk to the student, I did use the approach of building rapport by talking about my experiences, and relating it to them, etc. (Sigh) very frustrating. I already have accounts with other tutoring companies, but I would be hesitant to recommend this one based on the response I received. Any potential tutors, I would say to avoid this one at all costs.

I like the tutor and the program

It fits what my daughter’s needs and her schedule.

It fits what my daughter needs. She’s really interested in lesson and having improvements. The activities are fun and helpful. Teacher is really friendly and dedicated, focusing on my daughter’s weakness and able to help my daughter to improve. It is so convenient for busy mom as me. I will refer Brighterly to my friends. I’m happy to find Brighterly. Thank you.
