Bright Heart is an award-winning SEN-focused tutoring agency based in London

Bright Heart provides in-person tuition in London and parts of surrounding counties and online tuition throughout the UK. We work closely with private families, local authorities and schools, as an accredited National Tutoring Programme (NTP) Tuition Partner.

We offer a more nurturing approach and focus on supporting children and young people with learning challenges or social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. We also help students lacking confidence or motivation or who have fallen behind at school and those needing interim education outside of school.

Tutors are carefully screened, personally interviewed by a director, and background checked (including Enhanced DBS with children’s barred list check). Tutors receive training and guidance on tutoring and safeguarding practices and adhere to our tutoring standards, Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, and Online Tutoring Policy. Tutors have the patience, understanding and experience to ensure that sensitive learning situations are handled with care. Tutors embody Bright Heart’s student-centred approach, taking the time to listen and connect to students, enhancing trust, self-esteem, and self-belief before building on academic abilities.

Our experienced team is passionate about helping children and young people achieve their potential. Our education experts take the time to fully understand students’ unique learning needs and ensure that we provide well-matched tutors. Students receive individual learning plans (ILPs) that cater not only to their academic requirements but also to their SEMH needs. ILPs serve as a roadmap, guiding tutors to deliver tailored tuition that keeps students’ learning on track.

We cover from Reception to A-level and offer adult support. We offer supplementary tuition and interim education, covering the entire curriculum. In addition, we provide help with lifelong skills, including study techniques and transition into adulthood.
