Introduction

Hi! I am the owner and tutor of Optimistic Tutoring Solutions. I have 18 years of tutoring experience in various subjects and grades.

Our clients have shown an increase in their MAP scores, grades, and standardized test scores. Clients have also increased their client's confidence level by letting them know that they can do anything. I have taken math and reading classes in my Master's program on how to teach these subjects to children. I have taken a professional development class on how to teach math through Stanford University. I have also been trained in Barton reading and spelling program for children that are dyslexic and Singapore math.

I am so glad we found Brianna! My daughter has made so much progress in her reading since working with her. She sometimes struggles to sustain attention, but Brianna is so patient and does an amazing job of meeting her where she's at and getting her to engage in the lesson. Not only has she gained confidence with her reading, she also enjoys it more now

I was in search for a reading tutor for my than 8 year old. She was behind a bit after that year of virtual learning. I am so glad that I found Optimistic Tutoring! Briana is wonderful to work with and very responsive and listening to your wants and needs when pairing you with a tutor. We were paired Michelle and she is an absolute rock star and I could not be any happier with my daughter’s reading progress. She has truly grown leaps and bounds under her guidance. Thank you Optimistic Tutoring!

Brianna is wonderful, she has really helped my son, he was really behind in reading and we hired her to work with him a couple hours a week towards the end of the school he jumped 3grade levels at the end of the year. I would recommend Brianna anytime someone needs a tutor and would definitely use her again in the future.

The best tutor my daughter has ever had. It’s a value you cannot put a price on. Mrs.Brianna is always on time and flexible with scheduling if needed. The quality of her work is superb. The material she provides inspire challenge to reach new levels. She takes time to explain, demonstrate, and uplift in different ways until the lesson is understood. She engages by playing S.T.E.A.M related games, provide materials based on my daughter’s liking, and stimulates her to ask questions. Besides her professionalism, my favorite characteristic with Mrs.Brianna is the consistent compliments she stirs up to motivate great work ethics. Hands down best tutor ever!

Ms. Brianna Ricotta has instructed my granddaughter for over a year. In that time she has given my granddaughter confidence to want to read and actually enjoy reading. Ms. Ricotta is very patient and uses reading strategies to help students tackle and decode words. I am extremely happy with Brianna who is guiding my granddaughter to become a successful student.
