Because Every Child is Brilliant!
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 … that brilliance doesn’t show up as brightly in school.
Well it can. And it will. Be Brilliant! Tutoring’s Master Teachers will tailor a learning program to make their brilliance shine!
Does your child know how smart they really are? Do you?
Your child will advance rapidly and confidently. Our Master Teachers make sure students know they figured it out!
All Our Tutors Are Master Teachers
Listen to Dr. Vanessa Trezza talk about our approach to teaching.
Our founders and tutors, with advanced degrees, from Masters to Doctorates in education, have expertise in an instructional approach, called the Subordination of Teaching to Learning, that keeps students in touch with their natural brilliance and love of learning.
Our engaging materials lead to rapid progress in mathematics, reading and writing, and are carefully crafted to invite exploration and keep children in touch with their brilliance.
All of our tutors have taught and played leadership roles at the highly successful Bronx Charter Schools for Better Learning. Be Brilliant! Tutoring uses the same core pedagogy as BBL.

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 |
