There is also people to go through the doubts with them. I am grateful for Monica as she had always kept me up to date with everything and is very professional. The staff at brilliant tutors academy are absolutely lovely, motivated and always encourage the children. I would 100% recommend this tuition place as I have seen a great amount of improvement and progress every week.

I have worked with Monika Mittal and Brilliant Tutors now for 2 years. Brilliant Tutors does exactly what it "says on the tin." They are a group of highly talented and motivated tutors working to ensure that as many of the pupils as possible achieve their academic goals; however, each pupil is treated as an individual and a whole human being, worthy of care and consideration. Parents are very much involved, their concerns addressed and all the tutors are mindful of each individual student's specific needs and personality. The classes are well-structured, the lesson materials meet all curriculum demands, and, in my experience, both the teachers and the students enjoy their time spent enlarging their academic skills. I am grateful to have discovered them and feel honoured to be a part of the team.

Brilliant tutors have so far truly lived up to its name. My daughter is currently enrolled and preparing for 11+. She started in year 5 and I was a bit concerned as a lot of the children start much earlier, given the level of competition. Monica has been extremely approachable from the onset. She has been so supportive, she willingly gave my daughter all the extra time she needed so that she can come up to speed. She is very positive, encouraging and motivating to the children while also maintaining the level of discipline required. We had tried two other very renowned classes in the Earley area but my daughter did not enjoy as their style of teaching was not engaging enough and they failed to understand each child and their potential. Whereas Monica knows every child and their strengths and weaknesses. She doesn’t run the class like a business but has a real love for teaching and that shows in every interaction we’ve had with her. My daughter liked this class from the very first one and has not looked back, she’s doing quite well now in her tests so far. Most importantly, she’s happy which is essential for healthy learning. Thank you very much Monica. Adding to this review a year later: My daughter achieved her goals and successfully secured places in 2 grammar schools including Kendrick. Thank you again Monica, we couldn’t have done this without you. You have been a wonderful support through this entire journey and I highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a positive teaching experience for their child.

Brilliant Tutors is a very trustworthy place to prepare for 11+. They have a clear grasp of the progress and intensity, and you can safely follow their progress by sending the child here to prepare for 11+. And they are very clear about what kind of knowledge children should prepare to cope with according to your target school. Children won't waste time taking detours. Teachers are responsible and professional. If your child is preparing for 11+, coming here will give parents and children confidence!

Mrs. Mittal and the Brilliant Tutor team have been excellent in supporting my child through all the grammar school exams. We are truly grateful for the one-to-one attention and guidance provided to the pupils. As working parents, we had very little time to support our child during the 11+ journey, but Mrs. Mittal guided us through every step — from selection to the application process. I really appreciated her personal support and the fact that I didn’t have to join any external groups to understand the process or probabilities of getting through. Highly recommend Brilliant Tutors for their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for each child’s success.

Big thanks to the Brilliant Tutorials team — especially Ms. Mittal — for helping my daughter prepare for the Eleven Plus exams. At the start of Year 5, we were definitely not ready for the fiercely competitive Grammar School preparation process as we had recently moved to UK. Ms. Mittal played a crucial role in helping my daughter strengthen her basic mathematical concepts, laying a strong foundation and building upon it through regular practice, personal attention, and well-structured course materials. Towards the end of the year, she provided additional support and daily practice materials that helped students identify and work on their weak areas. The separate English sessions and the practice materials for Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning were also extremely valuable throughout the preparation journey. We are truly grateful for the guidance, dedication, and effort that BT Academy offered in this entire process and whole heartedly recommend them to all aspiring students.
