How SAT/ACT® Prep at Brightfox works

In person or online, get exceptional results.

Free diagnostic exam

Find out where your student stands. We'll send you a username and password. They can take up to two exams, for free, anytime from home. Get the score instantly, along with a detailed set of analytics around where to improve.

Consultation to create a plan

We'll meet to review the results and craft a month by month plan, including a number of tutoring hours needed, the number of sessions per week, when to take practice tests and when to take the official exam.

Buy tutoring hours, use on anything

At Brightfox, you buy a package of tutoring hours, or credits, that you can use on any service we offer. Test prep (SAT, ACT, AP), schoolwork tutoring (Math, Science, English, History), and college counseling / essay writing. Have other kids in the family? Hours can be used on them, too. There's a four year expiration. Get help in anything you need help with. Nothing you buy will go to waste!

Online, In Person, or a Mix of Both

At Brightfox, you can choose the tutoring format that works best for your family. Local to San Ramon? Join us in person, online, or mix a both, e.g. online on Thursday and in-person on Tuesday. Live farther away or prefer the convenience of home? Our online sessions deliver the same personalized support wherever you are.

Start Scheduling

Scheduling at Brightfox is simple and flexible. Just choose the subject, and all available time slots appear. You can book the same slot each week for consistency or change it up week to week. Do more sessions before a big exam, or take a break during vacation. Sessions run six days a week, in-person and online.

How Sessions Work

Brightfox is a 2:1 student to teacher ratio with the instructor alternating. It's not a traditional group class. It's 1:1 instruction followed by independent practice to assess student understanding.

Homework and Practice Tests

Brightfox offers two main ways for students to get extra practice outside of tutoring sessions. Instructors can assign homework—extra practice problems your student can complete anytime at home, included free as part of the program. Students may also take practice tests whenever they want to track progress in class.

Get Insights with Notifications and Analytics

With Brightfox, you'll always have clear insights into your student's progress. After every session, our instructors send a summary note. By default, it's texted to you instantly, so you know exactly what was covered without needing to log in anywhere. You'll also have access to detailed analytics in your Brightfox portal, showing which topics your student is struggling with.

Always Here to Support You

At Brightfox, you always have a team of directors ready to support you—available by phone, text, email, or a scheduled video call. Whether you'd like to check in on your student's progress, talk through their AP exam plan, or make adjustments for the months ahead, we're here to help.
