We were so blessed to have been referred to Bright Bird tutoring by a family friend. Just when we thought there was no hope, we finally found Heather. She was the order and structure that our son needed while also offering an accepting energy and skilled approaches that helped to get us back on track with our son's needs. read more

Heather is amazing with both my kids. She has helped us for about 3 years now. First with my son when he was struggling with math...she also helped him with history when he needed. She's very patient and calm which is what my very energetic kids need. When my daughter's math got to the point where I wasn't able to help her effectively, I was so glad we had Heather. We were even able to do a zoom meeting last minute because my daughter was struggling with a couple assignments and they got through it in 30 minutes. Both my kids love Heather and she has helped them excel so much...Highly recommend! read more

Great tutor who has been helping my son for several years. She is flexible and reliable. We appreciate her methods of teaching and my son always looks forward to working with her. read more

Heather is absolutely wonderful. She has been tutoring my daughter and son for many years. She helps them in a way that I couldn't with math, and my kids learn very well with her. She cares about the kids and their grades, checks in on them and gives her advice. She is flexible with scheduling, and she has a very reputable reputation as a tutor in our town. read more

Heather has been tutoring my daughter for several years now. She is without a doubt a very experienced and knowledgeable tutor. Heather is also one of the nicest and most compassionate people that I've ever met. Her heart is in the best place, which is why she's truly an ideal tutor for my daughter. My daughter has a rather intense diagnosis and can be a challenge to work with. Heather has shown an incredible amount of patience, empathy and kindness. To say I highly recommend her would an understatement. I cannot thank Heather enough for being such an amazing inspiration for my daughter. read more

My daughter needed math support in middle school last year and Heather Cline stepped up to be her tutor and a terrific mentor and support for my daughter. She is very kind and patient and explains the work clearly for students. She has been a key addition to my daughters grades improving and her learning skyrocketing. Bright Bird tutors meet your needs, schedule and support the student whole heartedly. Use Heather Cline as your resource to finding the right tutor for you or a family Or friend's needs. I cannot emphasize enough, the positive response and dedication she has given to her students. We are very happy to still have her with our daughter as she enters high school, and we plan to maintain this tutoring schedule as long as necessary, through her educational years. read more

We were looking for a tutor to work with our daughter to improve her math and reading comprehension, as well as prepare her for the SSAT test. We are so thankful to have found Heather. We interviewed a few different tutors and test prep agencies, and when we met Heather, we felt that she would be the perfect fit. This was over two years ago. Heather is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She genuinely cares, and we love that she's willing to explore and experiment with different teaching methods and approaches to concepts, and truly believes that each student is unique in their learning style. Heather is also willing to research topics/subjects and "learn" alongside our daughter, and in doing so, they become partners in the process and our daughter has become far more enthusiastic about learning. Heather has led by example on the virtues and successes of perseverance and resiliency, especially during the pandemic, when our daughter, like most students, switched to remote learning and were coping with the challenges this learning modality presents. We're not quite sure how we would have survived virtual school if Heather hadn't been there, day in and day out, to encourage our daughter (and frankly, us as a family) to continue embracing learning and ultimately flourish. Our daughter is now more confident, and her self-esteem has improved under Heather's guidance. We consider Heather an extended part of our family, and as our daughter starts a new school year, Heather will continue to be her tutor, but more importantly, a mentor and friend. As parents, we couldn't hope for more. Needless to say, we highly recommend Heather's services. read more

We just used this service for a couple of months while my daughter was studying for a very important math final. Heather was amazing and very patient and kind and really helped her understand basic formula's which were so hard for her before! I highly recommend this service! read more

I've never been the greatest in mathematics. I have always struggled during exam/quizzes. The high school exit exam was probably one of my biggest struggles I swear to you I must have taken it nine times and failed miserably. This was such a disappointment considering this dictated my future and was my only resort to graduate high school. I gave up eventually but my mother determined to get me on with my life hired Alane Cline as my tutor. I was skeptical at first because I've had many tutors in the past that just didn't work out. Alane's such a charismatic individual, understanding, and patient. We met once a week for tutoring lessons she was always prepared and always I mean always had homework for you (which is a good thing considering we have to maintain learning the material) I had taken the test again and failed by 2 points I told Alane and we worked even harder she was so determined and pushed me and reminded me to keep on studying and never give up. I took it the next time took my time with it and this time I felt good turning my exam in. I was scared to get the results since I always failed I waited two months I was avoiding the results but one day I got the courage to just go and find out.... and guess what?! The counselor said "We've had your diploma sitting here for 2 months!" I was so astonished and just so content! I called Alane right away! and I swear she sounded even more excited than me! It was such an amazing feeling! I can't tell you how much Alane has helped me she's much more than a tutor but she's a mentor she wants you to have a bright future and never give up on your dreams she makes you feel like nothing is impossible you just have to work hard for it. She also tutored my younger sisters that just transitioned to high school and they are doing such an outstanding job academically wise thanks to Alane. BEST TUTOR HANDS DOWN! seriously! read more

Bright Bird Tutoring is a wonderful company to work for. They are truly lovely people that dedicate their time and money connecting students and tutors all over the Bay Area. I know I can count on them to find me a steady flow of students each school year. Before working for Bright Bird I would spend a lot of money trying to find students to tutor with little return. Since Bright Bird is well known with developing advertising/marketing strategies put into place, I had to do very little work in order to find students. Last year I was able to have six students during the school year and I kept four of them throughout the summer. I would recommend Bright Bird to anybody who wants to easily connect with students or tutors. read more

Excellent tutoring service. Highly recommended company. We have used this tutoring service for close to two years. We can not say enough great things about Heather and our overall experience. Our daughter needed Algebra tutoring a few days per week and needed a plan for closing holes in her math skills and strengthening weak areas. With Heather's skilled guidance, we were able to make great improvements in our daughter's skill set, performance and general confidence in math. Heather is such a knowledgeable, patient and caring tutor and worked so well with our family. She is not only our go-to math tutor but a friend that we can discuss the educational needs of our child with and know that she has a genuine desire to help her succeed. read more

We'd like to recommend Alane Cline. My daughter had her as a tutor and she was a very good teacher . She was friendly and very happy. She is very professional and respectful. Overall she does her tutoring job very well. She is always on time. She really puts time and effort with her students. She is very good with kids. I did not regret having her as my daughters tutor because she gets the job done well. Overall, she had a good connection with her students and puts her all into helping them. Best tutor around! read more

My son has been tutoring with Bright Bird for 3 years now and has greatly improved in every category of school! When we started working together with Heather in 2015 my son had a C average and now is an A and occasional B student. Heather is very flexible when asked to work on troubled areas in different subjects throughout the year. I am very impressed on her well rounded knowledge and the rest of the staff when we hit a slight road block. Also there is always someone qualified to take her place in her absence (vacation). I have worked with other tutors in the past and I have to say the communication with Heather is by far better than others. If there's something we hadn't touched basis on I will receive a text or call just to make sure nothing was missed showing she cares for her clients. I can go on and on about how good of a company Bright Bird is but to me you have to experience it to see how well things work with them. read more
