View programme Why Brightmark
Why families come back to us
A plan written for one pupil, a teacher who turns up every week, and reports you can actually understand.
Assessment before lessons
The first session is an assessment, so the plan starts from what your child can do rather than what a scheme assumes.
Qualified teachers
Every tutor is a qualified teacher, and all are DBS-checked before they meet a pupil.
One plan, shared
You see the learning plan before the first lesson and know what the next twelve weeks are for.
Reports you can read
Progress reports for parents each half term, in plain English, with what has changed and what comes next.
Local and accountable
We tutor families in our own neighbourhoods, and you can reach the person who writes the plan.
Home or online
Lessons happen at your kitchen table or over video, whichever suits the week better.
Our teachers
The teachers behind the plans
