How Middle School Science at Brightfox works

At Brightfox, you buy a package of tutoring credits you can use on any service — test prep, subject tutoring, college counseling — and apply to any sibling. Four-year expiration, nothing goes to waste.

Choose the format that works best for your family. Come into our San Ramon center, go fully online, or mix both. We have a 7 pm night-before cancellation policy so unexpected schedule changes are never a problem.

Scheduling at Brightfox is simple and flexible. Choose the subject and all available time slots appear. Book the same slot each week or change it up. Sessions are one hour on weeknights and one and a half hours on weekends.

When booking a session, you can choose to share what you'd like your student to focus on — whether that's specific topics, a chapter you're stuck on, or uploaded files like worksheets or assignments.

Brightfox uses a 2:1 student-to-teacher ratio — the instructor alternates between two students, giving each genuine 1:1 instruction. In between, you practice independently, reinforcing what was just taught.

After every session our instructors send a summary note texted to you instantly. Log into the parent portal any time to see topic-by-topic progress — no need to ask your student what happened.

At Brightfox you always have a team of directors ready to support you by phone, text, email, or video call. Whether you'd like to check in on progress or make adjustments, we're here.
