i was incredibly anxious when i began my search for a tutor for our 10 year old son. Our daughter had just graduated from the top university in the nation and while she battled occasional issues with subjects here and there, overall academics werent a challenge for her. after watching our son lose faith in himself as a student primarily in math i started the hunt for a tutor, not really expecting to find exactly what we needed. i researched for months spoke to five different companies before contacting Brighter Minds. i sent a particularly long winded, emotional email to their general inbox and was amazed by the timely and exceedingly kind and knowledgeable reply i received from Nicole the owner. she assured me that she would find a good fit.. and well that was an understatement. After my son's first session he proudly told us " mom shes perfect and she makes me understand math..." that was almost six months ago and Kay has not only restored his confidence, he happily shows his excellent work and notes from his teacher applauding the transformation. Its apparent Nicole sincerely wants her clients to grow and be their best by the tutors she employs. our tutor Kay is truly a godsend and will remain a part of our life and our son's as long as he wants. i cant recommend Brighter Minds highly enough. From our experience with our daughter we know whats required of kids to excel at the highest level.. while our daughter was in private school we've chosen to keep our son in public school and we now consider our tutor an essential portion of a winning formula. Great teachers transform lives .. exceptional tutors do too. read more

So far 5 stars and my daughter just had her second tutor session w Dom from BMT and she already is catching a lot of the mistakes she was making in Algebra 2. We remembered hearing about it at her former Canfield element school. As a freshman in high school taking honors classes, Alg 2 can be quite challenging and we are relieved to know that we may have finally found the right tutor for her. We have spent $ in the past to no avail and nothing seemed to be working as much as we explained our daughters plight. You know when your kid is overall doing well, but for some reason getting stuck on tests and quizzes? On top of having that teacher that doesn't teach thoroughly? Well, we think we found the answer in BMT and Dom seems the perfect fit for what our child needs. This is well worth the cost and they are willing to work with a busy schedule. I will be happy to update again at the end of this semester 40 week report card. My daughter is happy about the progress she's making already, confidence is up and ready to ace her tests. Nicole, the director has been nothing but kind, patient, and totally got it when I explained my daughters predicament. I highly recommend Brighter Minds. read more

Hands down the best tutoring experience our family ever had. I researched extensively to find a tutor for our son who is in 6 grade and started to have problems with math. Due to being ill he missed a lot of classes and started to fall behind. I called several tutoring places, but after talking to Nicole, the owner, I knew that I had found the perfect place. Nicole is very kind, professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She perfectly matched my son with a tutor who knows exactly how to make my son understand certain math concepts and practices with him until he understands them completely. Not only my son improved his grades after about 10 sessions but even more importantly his attitude towards math changed as well! My son got his groove back and he is back to feeling confident and he is actually enjoying math at school again. We have the most incredible experience with Brighter Minds Tutoring and I intend to stay with amazing Nicole and her knowledgeable tutors for years to come. Would Highly recommend them to my friends and family! read more

5 stars all the way!!! I wish there were more stars to give to Brighter Minds Tutoring and the owner Nicole. I started working with this company when I was a freshman in high school. I started with biology and algebra. Her tutors were patient, kind, and truly made me feel like I was part of a family. We continued to work with each other every year, and I would do enrichment courses through the summer. My SAT tutor Madison was absolutely amazing, and I traveled with my family last summer and I was able to do Skype sessions from Europe. Nicole and her staff helped me with my college applications and I got into Stanford for next fall!!! Her tutors are all PHENOMENAL. The kind that every student prays for, and every parent dreams of. Not only do they take the time to make sure you understand the material, but they are able to work with any student at any level. This place has really been a gem, and they really worked with my busy schedule. I referred them to many of my friends and they loved them as well. Thank you so much!!! read more

I have tried everything! My son is not an easy student and has been fighting to get tutoring for the past 2 years. I've tried every tutor on Wyzant, craigslist, and few other tutoring companies in Los Angeles. Let's just say Nicole the owner of the company hit it on the head. She hired Brad who was a "cool", but brilliant tutor. My son felt like he has an older brother so he could talk to him while getting tutored. His grades have gone up from C's to A's. He's currently in 7th grade entering 8th so I've hired another tutor for the summer and will continue doing this through his high school years. This company is not your typical "company." Nicole is so loving and always reachable. We text, email...she's so involved. Please don't waste your time looking elsewhere. It has saved my life. My son goes to a competative private school in Los Angeles, and Brad really knows how to deal with the curriculum. Thank you so much Nicole. I am beyond grateful for you and your tutors. read more

Amazing! I was actually tutored by Nicole (the director) herself throughout elementary and middle school, and it was an incredible help! I struggled a lot in math, but with just one session I was already getting all my homework correct and receiving As on my tests! Currently as a high school senior, I sometimes still use their tutors but because of all those years using Nicole to help build a strong academic foundation, I have been able to fly through high school with great grades and little struggles! I would recommend this company to anyone, because not only are the tutors exceptional, they're friendly and well-mannered! They come in prepared and ready to educate, but also make you feel comfortable! If you/your child doesn't understand something, they'll explain it so well that they'll be teaching all their friends the tricks! Couldn't recommend a better service, well worth every penny because it's a life long guarantee, not a temporary one! read more

We called Nicole looking for assistance with college essay. She assigned us with someone awesome (Jinann) that is guiding our daughter nicely through this process.Somewhere along the way, we also asked for AP Physics tutoring and this is making our daughter's life so much better! Senior year is already a busy one for our daughter, so being able to follow AP Physics as she is doing now it taking a lot of the stress out All the tutors communicate with Nicole right away, so she knows how the sessions were and can address any issues if needed. In our case, the first AP Physics tutor thought that my daughter would be better off with an AP Physics C tutor (a more advanced?), and Nicole called me right away asking if we wanted to try someone else. We love the fact that Nicole and her staff want to do the best for the student and they are on top of things. Very happy and will use their services as needed with my other daughter as well. read more

I have a daughter who struggles academically due to ADD. I asked her school counselor whom she might recommend for tutoring. She gave me the name of Brighter Minds. It was towards the end of school and she had a "C-" in her English class. I thought there was no hope, and my daughter had been tutored before and it didn't really help, but I thought It wouldn't hurt either. I spoke to Nicole (owner), and she paired my daughter up with Nick. Within a month, she brought her grade up to almost an "A"! Never, ever have I seen anyone be able to reach my daughter and be able to not only motivate her with her studies , but improve her grade so rapidly! When you have a child with ADD, you become accustomed to lower, grades. Now I honestly feel that she actually has a chance. Thank you Nicole, thank you Nick! read more

Regina has been such a wonderful tutor. She has not only helped me ace college Spanish classes and edit important English papers, but she also helped my younger sister get 5's in AP Spanish and AP English Language. She does an excellent job with helping me understand more advanced and nuanced concepts. I don't know how she does it, but after she explains it everything just makes so much more sense and the work seems easy. She's an encyclopedia of knowledge, she's trilingual (English, Spanish, and Portuguese), and in high school she was an IB scholar. She could really tutor in any subject, but I couldn't be more satisfied with all the help she has provided me in Spanish and English. I'm so happy I found Brighter Minds Tutoring, but I'm even more glad I have Regina as my tutor. read more

My daughter was taking AP European History this year, commonly regarded as the toughest class at Beverly High. I won't lie -- it was a struggle (and I wouldn't necessarily recommend that class for other sophomores). Halfway through, she started working with Robert, a tutor from Brighter Minds. On a weekly basis, he probed, cajoled, encouraged, pressured, and somehow, when grades were entered into Jupiter Grades this week, she had a B. Any other class and I'd be "You got a B? What's up with that?" But AP Euro? I danced a little jig for my little girl's grade. I can't say enough about the assistance she got from Brighter Minds' Robert. I can say that I have no doubt she'd have received a C (or worse) without his help and I'm extremely grateful for his time, effort, and ability. read more

I've used so many tutoring companies in Los Angeles, but none of them matched me with consistently good tutors as Brighter Minds did. I used Brighter Minds' tutors for help with my SATs and AP classes, like AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP Economics, etc. Thanks to them, I graduated high school with Honors and got accepted into UCLA! Since I've been in college, I've used Brighter Minds to help me with my classes, and they have never failed in matching me with an excellent, knowledgable, personable tutor. Not only that, the owner of the company, Nicole, is the sweetest woman you will ever meet. She really tries her best to get you affordable tutors that will work well with you, and is easy to get in touch with. I highly highly recommend BMT! read more

This company offers the BEST service and the BEST tutors. I have been using Brighter Minds Tutoring for at least 6 years and we have had tutors of all kinds...English, Math, Science, History.

Super bright. On time. Last minute (I mean with an hour's notice at 8pm during finals week). I have only had the BEST experiences and the BEST results.

Thank you Brighter Minds!!!! This company has truly been a breath of fresh air. My son is a junior at Beverly Hills High school, and has been having such a tough time with chemistry and pre calculus and Nicole sent us the most wonderful tutor named Alex. He explains everything so thoroughly and my son is finally turning in homework and has confidence to walk in for his tests. Nicole is incredibly sweet, and the rates are so fair and affordable. Great service, great tutors, and even when I'm crunched on time I send Nicole a text and she has a tutor available for me. I recently just used Jinan for college applications for my older daughter and she was great as well. You are all life savers! read more

Brighter Minds Tutoring is amazing!! I have been using this company for tutoring since my freshman year high school and can always get a tutor for any subject I might be struggling with. I don't worry about classes that might seem difficult at first because with the help of the tutors I feel more confident about the classes i am taking. If find out about a test or quiz the day before it is scheduled, and I need a tutor at the last minute, I don't have to worry because Brighter Minds Tutoring is always able to help get me a tutor! Everyone should be using Brighter Minds Tutoring because it makes high school less stressful to know there is always a tutor available to help you. read more

BMT has excellent tutors. Alexi was very patient and took the extra time to make sure that my son understood the concepts. She made changes to her teaching style in this particular situation and gave him helpful insights that will improve his writing and reading skills at the beginner level. I believe, when a child is learning HOW to read that it is extremely important to find the right tutor that will help reach the learning goals in a consistent and explicit manner. I highly reccommend Brighter Mind's tutors if you are in the Beverly Hills/ west LA area. Avoid corporate companies that are over-priced & looking to find a quick match to your child based on location. read more

I am so, so thankful for Brighter Minds Tutoring! I called Nicole hours before I had a huge Economics take home exam due. I was struggling through the test and anxiously needed last minute help. I called Nicole as a last resort, and she instantly connected me with an econ tutor, Carly, who saved the day! Carly was extremely kind and made all the complex topics on my exam make sense. On my first exam I got a C, but with Carly's help, I got an A on the next one! I highly recommend Brighter Minds Tutoring. They are truly, genuinely committed to helping students and they do everything in their power to help you, even at the very last minute. Thanks so much Nicole and Carly! read more

I used brighter minds tutoring last year for a political science class and was very impressed by the help I received. I gave brighter minds another try and had an even better experience than the last! I go to USC and am currently enrolled in a vey hard Pre-Law writing class. Thankfully, Nicole was able to set me up with an amazing tutor who edited and helped me receive an A on my paper. The tutor helped with thought development, grammar errors, and even followed up after the assignment was due. My little sister in high school also uses brighter minds tutoring for ACT help and is extremely happy with her results. You can't go wrong!!! read more
