What is an ESL Lesson like?
Specialized Lessons by our Tutors
Bright Horizon Learning, LLC believes that learning should be individualized and therefore there is no one-size-fits-all.
Our tutors get to know your child and their specialized learning style, strengths and the areas in which they could use that critically important confidence boost.
Tutors Who Mentor and Show Support
When your child signs online for their Math lesson, our tutors at Bright Horizon Learning, LLC, will greet them on a personal level, sketch the goals of the lesson and then do what they do best: teach. Based on your child’s last session and their overall understanding/performance, a new lesson is specifically-designed to take their skills further and help them catch up, get ahead and become more confident in Math.
A Perfect Blend
Our Math tutors then spend the rest of the session engaging in example questions/problems with your child, allowing your child to then work independently to show that they have retained the important material and then talk through those matters in which your child might need more instruction and support, with the ultimate end-goal of subject-matter mastery and becoming an independent learner.
