Who We Are

About Us
Our Mission: To provide accessible, personalized online tutoring services that are tailored to the diverse learning needs of every student. We are committed to fostering a supportive and engaging online learning environment that not only cultivates academic excellence but also nurtures social-emotional well-being and enhances executive function skills. Through innovative teaching methodologies and empathetic guidance, we strive to empower students to reach their full potential, equipping them with the confidence, resilience, and skills necessary to succeed academically and thrive in all aspects of life.
NeuroBridge began as a simple tutoring company striving to meet the needs of diverse learners everywhere. After years of experience offering in-person tutoring sessions locally, the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the world of education drastically, and I found the need to adapt quickly to online tutoring in order to help students keep hold of their academic progress. However, as we slowly returned to in-person schooling, I noticed three discernible differences from the students that I worked with in the pre-pandemic era:
-
While typical academic challenges still presented themselves as they had previously, more students demonstrated a struggle in overall executive function skills (organization, time management, focus, task completion, etc.);
-
Students actually preferred the online tutoring format to the in-person format because of the accessible, flexible, and interactive nature; and
-
Social-emotional regulation and needs became an increasingly equally important part of the learning process.
​
These three observations, along with wisdom gained from previous teaching experience, knowledge about the science of learning, educational psychology, and technology, and research in the field of executive function and social emotional learning, evolved to become NeuroBridge.
