What started as a idea, soon became Brainbean.

“It started as an experiment to see how we can better help our students be successful.”

I have worked with students one on one for over 15 years.

I always knew that students give their best but often get discouraged when the results don't follow. So I worked with them.

I listened to them.

I tried different things.

I researched everything I could find.

“And what I found was so simple and obvious: love kids, reduce stress, help them in tangible ways.”

I built the whole thing around them.

I found other people who caught on to that vision and we built a team to better help our students. We then added options to help schools and teachers, always working to specialize what we do around what they need.

“As we began investing more into our students, we found that they were, for the most part, frustrated by "learning as usual."

Many of them were worn out by the end of the day, and the idea of sitting in another sterile, quiet environment being spoon fed information was dull, at best.

And so we began meeting in various coffee shops. Some students would drink or eat something, but these were not the primary differences relating to their tutoring sessions.

As test scores and grades began coming in, we were astonished. To our surprise, as the atmosphere became more relaxed, scores and grades sky rocketed.

“Over the years, this original hobby-turned-experiment has proven successful.”

As our students relax, their minds open, they ask more questions, reveal more struggles, and retain more accurately.

What a lovely gift this has been...to work one on one with students over the years. Thank you for the opportunity to share a cup of coffee with your students and play a small role in their successes. This has truly been an honor beyond expectations.
