As a 3rd grade reading tutor, I love watching kids who once had no knowledge or confidence in reading suddenly become able to read. That moment of breakthrough - no matter how small - brings me joy and fulfillment and continues to inspire me every day.

"What I enjoy most about teaching is watching kids' excitement."

What I enjoy most about reading for 3rd graders is seeing their excitement as they connect with stories and grow in confidence for years ahead. It’s special to watch them develop strong skills in literacy and lay the foundation to write their essays, stories, and poems, using what they’ve read as inspiration to express their ideas creatively.

I am loving her progress already!

Have been looking for an English class for my daughter, and when I saw this, we attended the free class. I was impressed with what I saw, though I just did a 3-month subscription, but I am loving her progress already!

So happy with Brighterly's method of teaching!

We've only been using Brighterly for a short time, but already we're seeing a difference! The instructor is incredibly patient and experienced, and knows how to make learning math fun and accessible. The fact that reading is also included is a huge bonus! My child is more confident and engaged than ever before.
