High school students, Hanuram Manikandan and Ishaan Pradhan found it hard to get the right resources to help with preparations for their exams. After recognizing how expensive private prep often is, they decided to build something different: a student-led tutoring program through peer collaboration. More than teaching, they want to build a personal connection with their students.
They started by developing their own 4-week SAT-aligned curriculum, creating tutor training systems, and designing data trackers to monitor student growth. What began as an idea quickly became a movement to create real, community-based change in education.
To empower students through free, high-quality academic tutoring that builds confidence, strengthens skills, and promotes equitable learning opportunities for all.
A world where every student, regardless of financial background, has access to personalized academic support and the tools to succeed. BrightFuture aims to grow beyond SAT tutoring into a comprehensive, student-led preparation platform that empowers learners to excel in AP exams and other academic pursuits.
