It’s Time to Celebrate Your Child’s Brilliance!

You were thrilled with how smart they were as a baby and toddler.

So what happened?

Nothing happened!

Your child is as brilliant as ever,

but sometimes …

But sometimes …

that brilliance doesn't show up as brightly in school.

Well it can.

And it will.

Be Brilliant! Tutoring will tailor a program for your child that will let their brilliance shine.

Tutoring that goes beyond better grades…

Unlike other tutoring services, all of our tutors are skilled, experienced Master Teachers.

Sure, we know how to help children achieve better grades and test scores.

We’ve done it!

That’s the easy part.

But we go beyond better grades and test scores.

Our Master Teachers…

… keep children curious and excited about learning.

… keep them aware of their stunning learning powers.

… keep them confident and wanting to do their best.

It's what we do.

It's the very heart of Be Brilliant! Tutoring.

WE BELIEVE

all children - those doing well in school along with those having difficulties - are brilliant.

In fact, we know it to be true!

We work with families to help sustain a nurturing, positive attitude, based on seeing their child as an individual with a multitude of gifts … some perhaps still unwrapped.

In addition to better grades and higher test scores, your child will benefit in three areas, critical for their future success:

Fulfillment:

Our way of working leads to satisfaction, even joy, in academic learning.

Brilliance:

Most importantly, they realize how smart they really are!

Confidence:

Our students become self-assured and self-directed.

Learning by Doing

When children learn by doing, rather than through (boring) repetition and memorization: 

They want to keep going.

They trust themselves. 

Most important, they realize how smart they really are.  

And, the benefits?

 Fulfillment.

Confidence. 

Brilliance.

Personalized

We meet our students where they are and that's where we stay, as their partner on their journey. 

Our instruction adjusts, moment-to-moment, to their actual learning.  While we do incorporate some proprietary digital learning tools, we rely on them sparingly and only to clarify how best to meet certain challenges.

Proven Results

Our approach to supporting learning has been proven with thousands of students.

Our master teachers serve all children:

  • from those who need to catch up, including those labeled with a learning disability,

  • to those already doing very well, who want to do even better

    … and everyone in between.

Professional

Be Brilliant! tutors have extensive, successful experience as classroom teachers.

They all also have advanced degrees in education and distinguished careers as educational leaders and professional development specialists.

Your child could not be in better hands.

Our students not only know what to do, they know why they do it.

  • Meet us to learn more about our approach

    Sign up for a free 30-minute consultation for parents and caregivers.

    We’d like to meet with you before signing up your child for tutoring services.

    Together we will decide if Be Brilliant! Tutoring is your best option.

    If not, we will refer you elsewhere.

    We can arrange a remote session on Zoom or a meeting in person at our Bronxville, NY center.

    We are conveniently located at 51 Pondfield Road in the heart of Bronxville, just across from the railroad station, with nearby street and municipal parking.

  • Initial Assessment & Personalized Instruction

    At first, we devote ourselves to knowing your child as the unique individual they are. Then, throughout every meeting after that, we will analyze what may be interfering with the full progress they could enjoy and we adjust our instruction accordingly.

    We don't use canned computerized instruction or more traditional, rigidly pre-scripted materials that attempt to control learning. Instead, we rely on our deep experience as successful educators to personally interact with your child during every moment, seeking the most learning in return for their time and attention.

    Simply put, our teaching is guided by their learning.

  • Ongoing Monitoring

    We will create an individualized BB!T Learning Plan, which provides us with accountability, and you with assurance that progress will be steady and robust. We will share a copy with you, along with regular check-ins to track improvement and highlight issues that arise.

    After eight one-to-one sessions, we will meet with you for a summary conference, at which time we will decide, with you, on two questions:

    Should we schedule additional sessions with your child?

    If yes, should we continue meeting one-to-one or switch to sessions that include one or, at most, two other students?

  • We are not your typical tutoring center.

    While your child’s scores will improve, we are not a test-prep mill, nor do we rely on banks of pre-programmed computers.

    Instead we offer personalized attention to only 1, 2 or, at most, 3 children at a time.

    We succeed, not by the quantity of students squeezed into a room, but rather by the quality of our individualized instruction.

    And that’s why all of our tutors have advanced degrees in education and expertise in an instructional approach that caters to your child’s unique needs, ensuring that they feel fulfilled, confident and brilliant.

  • It's About Time...

    …the world realizes your child’s brilliance, including:

    • your child’s teacher,

    • your family and friends,

    • and maybe even you (if what’s happening in school has shaken your certainty).

      … and most important, your child.

      Then watch how their eagerness, confidence, independence, determination,

      interest, achievement, and even their happiness soar.*

      *Our purpose is to make these changes happen in as short a time as possible.

      Sometimes in no time at all!
