ABOUT BRIGHT LIGHT
OUR VALUES
L
Learning
Learning is why we exist! We aim to spread the love of learning to all our students. The greatest tool to ensure academic success is the love of learning. Our advisors don’t just help students raise their grades, they go above and beyond to plant seeds that will blossom into a desire to learn that students will benefit from for years to come!
I
Individuality
Out of 8 billion people, there’s only one YOU! We seek to unlock every student’s unique gifting and use it to unlock their learning potential. We don’t all learn the same, so why teach all the same? Our advisors prioritize personal development to ensure that students grow into the unique learners that they are!
G
Goals
In order to win big, you need to aim high! We challenge our students to set goals they would be proud to accomplish. We encourage parents to help their children cast vision for an exciting and incredible future. Our advisors will work with you to set meaningful goals with tangible pathways to reach them!
H
Hard Work
Nothing comes easy, except nothing! We believe in the basic principle that working hard (and smart) pays off. Our advisors focus on building healthy work habits with students so that they can take ownership of their work habits!
T
Time
We’re not just talking about hours and minutes! We believe that the time a student spends learning should be worthwhile and preparatory. Our advisors will work with parents and students to ensure that any time spent learning is fruitful and to everyone’s liking.
A MESSAGE
FROM THE FOUNDER
I know the stress of school all too well. I am a first-generation college graduate who had to learn firsthand the “ins” and “outs” of the education system and how to be successful therein. Throughout the years, I became a better learner and a harder worker, which propelled me to become valedictorian of my High School and to be accepted by 11 of the top undergraduate programs in the nation. I eventually went on to graduate from Yale University and to achieve some of my wildest dreams that I set as young as 12 years old! This is why I started Bright Light Educational Services. I wanted to share my struggles and triumphs with young students who seek to excel in their studies. Take it from me when I say that all we need in our path to success is for someone to help our inner lights shine bright!

TESTIMONIALS
Consulting Elias during the college application process was beyond helpful. Being academically prepared is a given, but showing different parts of your persona that drive you forward and make you who you are is something with which Elias greatly assisted me. He helped me touch-up my essays in a way that would allow admissions officers to see me as both a serious academic candidate and as a person with motivating passions. In addition, his tips and words of advice as they pertained to sincerity and candidness during my interview period helped make my interviews the success they turned out to be. I would highly recommend Elias’ services to any prospective student applying to college!

I highly recommend Elias with Bright Light Tutors. He is patient with our 13 year old daughter while helping her understand Algebra 1 much better. He has been a light for our family. Our daughter is doing well in Algebra and Elias has helped her build her confidence and skill base. Elias is wonderful to work with. Always prompt, professional and knows what he is doing! We live in Florida and all the tutoring sessions have been over Google meet and have worked really well. I can't say enough great things about Elias and Bright Light Tutors. If you are looking for a tutor this is your place. </div>
