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.

Your child attends regular 1:1 sessions with a live tutor. You can book 1–4 lessons per week, depending on your needs.

Between sessions, we assign short tasks your child can do independently. They can also practice with our curated PDF worksheets, which are completely free.

Step 6: Weekly progress tracking for parents

Our ELA tutoring includes regular progress reports for parents. We cover what your child has learned and what they’ll work on next.

We started brighterly ELA three month 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 try for 1 year. We finally have a tutor and she is amazing. Her name is Noelen. Her lesson plans are very good and engaging.
