How Our Online ELA Tutoring Works
Step 1: Free ELA diagnostic assessment
Before you join us, we arrange a 45-minute diagnostic session to identify your child's needs. It’s also a demo of the real session, so you can see if Brighterly is a match.
Step 2: Tutor matching
We match your child to the tutor that suits their requirements best. We also provide dyslexia-friendly tutoring and neurodivergent learner support.
Step 3: Personalized ELA learning plan
We then build a personalized learning plan addressing your child's needs and learning gaps. Each plan follows your school standards, so your child develops the skills required for their grade level.
Step 4: 1:1 Live ELA lessons
Your child attends regular 1:1 sessions with a live tutor. You can book 1–4 lessons per week, depending on your needs.
Step 5: AI-Powered Lesson Summaries & Progress Reports
An AI Lesson Summary outlines key concepts covered after every session, while regular progress reports keep parents informed.
