About Brilliant

Brilliant teaches math and coding through interactive, visual lessons that cover material from 5th grade through college, including algebra, calculus, Python and computer science. Its curriculum is accredited by ACS WASC.

An AI tutor called Koji works with you on a shared canvas, asking guiding questions and giving hints rather than handing over answers. It tracks what you have mastered, builds a learning plan around the gaps, and provides progress dashboards for learners and parents.
