Do you know who is tutoring your child?
You never know who your child will get at other tutoring services. Often, these services use college or even high school students, or teachers who have never taught a class.
At Be Brilliant! Tutoring, all of our tutors are highly successful Master Teachers, skilled, with years of classroom experience and advanced degrees.
All Our Tutors Are Master Teachers

How Others Do It VS How We Do It
Other Tutoring Centers | Be Brilliant! Tutoring | |
---|---|---|
Teaching Style | Tutors dictate how things work | Students discover how things work |
Learner experience | Learners are confined to a closed box, adhering to prescribed ways of thinking | Learners are free to “color outside the lines” |
Preconceptions | Students are empty vessels to be filled with facts and rigid procedures | Students are equipped with bountiful learning powers they have practiced since birth |
Assumptions | Children need to be taught how to learn | Children are born brilliant, with a powerful ability to learn |
Materials | Black & white worksheets that students fill out | Colorful, hands-on resources that foster understanding |
Testing & Mastery | Test ability to parrot exactly what was shown/explained | Assesses true understanding of the topic and capacity to apply that understanding to new material |
Progression & Pacing | Small, incremental steps to solve problems, which slows learning | Seeing patterns and connections, which accelerates learning |
Ah ha! moment | Learners are led by the nose to get the expected answer | Learners discover an understanding or relationship they did not previously see |
Process | Answers are prescribed through memorized, tedious procedures | Answers are derived through discovered patterns and connections |
Basis for learning | Stress on memorization | Stress on understanding |
Mistakes | Mistakes treated as unwelcome events that simply indicate lack of progress | Mistakes welcomed as guidance and feedback to the instructor and student |
Success | Tutors are strongly invested in a quick, “correct” outcome and a rush to success | Tutors focus on the process, with a calm, unhurried demeanor that fosters comfort and confidence in the learner |
Self-learning | Tutors leave students on their own, to read instructions and then spend hours on repetitious drill | Tutors are present and attentive, providing just what is needed, not too much, not too little |
Focus of instruction | Presenting facts | Presenting challenges |

Here’s what their parents are saying
Shannon O'Hara2024-06-15 I have sent 2 of my children here, a teen and a 2nd grader. Both saw great improvements right away. The tutoring was completely in line with the school curriculum and completely up to date with the latest science and techniques being used in their schools. The kids loved their tutors and looked forward to seeing them, which made it feel less like additional work. My 2nd grader’s teacher commented after a couple months that my daughter had completely turned around and was doing significantly better. I can’t recommend enough. jaimee m2024-06-14 I was impressed with the success we had after trying other places. This is a great approach to learning. Thank you! Eddie Santiago2024-06-14 Great experience great staff would truly recommend to everyone!!! Shawn Guy2024-06-13 Be Brilliant Tutoring is beyond brilliant! Top notch educators that really make an impact! Juan Gutierrez2024-06-13 I’m really impressed, this has been so helpful……thank you! Angelo Corona2024-06-13 The tutors are friendly and knowledgeable. The rates are extremely reasonable along with having the convenience of having them come to my home. I highly recommend them! Sophia Farber Bernhardt2024-06-12 We've had a great experience with BBT! Our first-grader has been working on math and reading with Paula. She helped him find books that he loves, which makes a huge difference. (And she even let him borrow one of the books, which he loved so much that he slept with it under his pillow!) In math, it's giving him the opportunity to explore concepts beyond what they were doing in his class, which keeps him interested and engaged. The whole thing is positive and fun --highly recommended! Gloribel Lopez2024-05-25 Finding Be Brilliant was a life saver for us! Our kindergartener gained knowledge and became secure of what he knew; he understood that he could do it; in a few tutoring classes we saw the change. We are grateful that we found them, specially Ms. Doris she is great, with a lot of experience and patience!. She went with the best approach to work with our son so he could improve his reading skills and confidence, he loves her and is happy to work with her. We recommend Be Brilliant 100%. They will make sure that your child gets the help needed. We are forever grateful!
