Reading for fourth graders inspires me like no other thing. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child 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 tutoring for 4th graders is seeing their excitement as they connect with stories and grow in confidence. It’s gratifying to watch them develop the skills to write their essays, stories, and poems, using what they’ve read as inspiration to express their ideas creatively.

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.
