How Our Online Reading Tutoring Works

Step 1: Free diagnostic reading test

Brighterly reading tutoring begins with a free diagnostic that helps our tutoring team understand your child’s current reading level.

Step 2: Get matched with reading and writing tutors

After the diagnostic reading test, we match your child with a private tutor and build a personalized learning path for 1:1 lessons.

Step 3: Curating a structured literacy approach

Our online tutoring for kids is based on a research-based curriculum tailored to each child’s personalized learning needs and specific knowledge gaps.

Step 4: 1-on-1 personalized lessons

The reading lessons take place online, in a virtual classroom, where tutors apply the appropriate reading comprehension strategies and give real-time feedback.

Step 5: Homework help & free worksheets

Free, curated worksheets are available for vocabulary building and writing support at home.

Step 6: Weekly progress updates for parents

With each completed week, parents receive a progress tracking report with a detailed overview of the progress and personalized recommendations for improvement.

We started Brighterly ELA three months ago. My son is autistic and very behind in reading. He was not making progress, even with in-person instruction. I took a trial with Brighterly and decided to give it a try for 1 year. Brighterly changed my son’s instructor 3 times to find the perfect fit for his needs.
