“I really recommend Bright Heart for its fresh approach which puts the individual, and their personal needs, at the core of its teaching.”

“I highly recommend Bright Heart. After just 4 sessions the impact was plain to see. Teachers started to send positive feedback, but most important, he had grown in confidence and was proud of himself.”

“My son’s tutor was knowledgeable, highly personable, reliable and had a great manner with teenagers. Perfect!”

“I would highly recommend Bright Heart for their bespoke tuition to suit every student's different learning style.”

“I thought the tutor was really good because one of her main problems was her lack of confidence in herself. He showed her that she knew much more than she thought and I really liked his manner.”

“The reports from John are very informative.”

“I am very happy being a tutor through Bright Heart. What I’ve found most refreshing is receiving a detailed breakdown of the student’s challenges and needs prior to the start of tuition.”

Our Tutoring Philosophy

Our unique tutoring methodology, the Bright Heart Approach, puts into practice what Ryan has observed across a wide range of students. This more nurturing approach is based on our experience that effective tutoring connects on a deeper level to achieve longer term stability and success, compared to focusing purely on intellectual abilities.

We believe in ensuring tutors are suitably prepared for meeting students’ unique learning needs. Our training relationship with nasen (National Association of Special Educational Needs) helps to achieve this.

We believe that establishing good rapport with students is essential for successful tuition. We therefore provide a first lesson free to clients to ensure our carefully matched tutors are indeed a great fit.
