Bright Kids Tutoring and Admissions Test Prep was established in 2009 and, over the last 16 years, has worked with more than 14,000 families and over 10,000 children. The company describes its mission as preparing children for any school admissions or assessment test, regardless of age or ability, through a seamless, scientifically driven approach that generates reliable results. Since 2009, 90% of their students have received offers from top schools, and 90% of the families they work with have gained admission to their top three private school choices through their admission consulting services. Year after year, over 80% of their children have scored high enough to reach the second round of HCES, with 5–10 children admitted each year to HCES, which has a total class of 50 students. Over 80% of their students have scored a 7 or above stanine across all subjects on the ISEE or SSAT, and those who worked with them saw at least a 2-stanine increase in score over a few months. Their educators, writers, and consultants have published over 100 titles and sold over 10 million books, and the company integrates advanced technology into its services while carefully selecting tutors and educators.

The leadership team is headed by Founder and CEO Bige Doruk of Bright Kids NYC. Ms. Doruk holds an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Her background includes senior roles at McKinsey & Company and Helios Consulting, where she focused on new business strategies for Fortune 500 companies, as well as serving as CEO of Gaia Power Technologies and running her own consulting business.

Bright Kids Tutoring and Admissions Test Prep reports that clients qualify for top programs year after year, and that 90% of students have been admitted to their top three choice schools since the company’s inception. They have sponsored hundreds of children through scholarship programs and community outreach programs such as the Harlem Children's Zone. One parent testimonial notes that their family has used Bright Kids for years, describes the tutoring services and books as “top notch,” and states that all three of their children have attended Bright Kids for many years and have all gotten into “top notch schools.”
