Every practice session and mock exam earns XP, moving your child up through five ranks, with Bright alongside them the whole way.
Tutors Who Actually Get It
BrightUp isn't run by a faceless agency. It's built and taught by tutors who sat the same exam your child is preparing for, not that long ago. Ron built the entire platform himself, and both he and Henry passed the 11+ and now study at Lawrence Sheriff School, a grammar school.
Ron passed the 11+ and now studies at Lawrence Sheriff School, a grammar school. He built BrightUp from the ground up, wanting to give other families the kind of tutoring he wished he'd had.
Henry passed the 11+ and now studies at Lawrence Sheriff School, a grammar school. He knows exactly what the exam actually feels like from the other side of the desk, and tutors accordingly.
