Our Mission

Revolutionize global education and help students reach their full potential by bringing together modern technology, a customer-first approach and delightful daily experiences.

Trust is Paramount

You're trusting us with your children's academic future. That's a responsibility we take seriously. If your child is struggling, we'll let you know.

We won't oversell you something you don't need. We keep our pricing simple and standard for everyone.

We're here to support – you can call, text, or email us seven days a week.

Buy tutoring credits, use on anything

At Brightfox, you buy a package of tutoring credits that you can use on anything we offer.

Flexible scheduling that fits your busy life

Build a regular weekly schedule or have a special session right before a big exam. Book easily on the go.

Highly customized instruction

Whether online or in-person, our 2:1 student to teacher ratio means meaningful teaching exactly where your student needs help — all at a reasonable price.

Work smarter & faster with our technology

Our platform grades questions instantly, which saves time. It also analyzes the results to understand strengths and weaknesses. We use this data to customize our instruction.

About our Founder

Alex McCauley started working in the afterschool education industry at the age of 16. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, he returned to the same education company, where his ideas about innovating in this space first flourished. He spent the subsequent decade at Google and Twitter, learning about modern software, management and company culture. He always had the desire to return to his education roots, and founded Brightfox in 2018.
