My teacher said it was because of the symmetry but I don't really understand ): somebody can help me?

$B_t > B_s$ if and only if $B_t - B_s >0 $. Hence, $\mathbb{P}(B_t - B_s >0) = \mathbb{P}(B_t > B_s)$. Now, $B_t - B_s$ has distribution $\mathcal{N}(0,t-s)$, (by definition of Brownian motion) which is symmetric around the origin.
