Look for four things: real accreditation (Cambridge, Pearson or a national inspectorate); live teacher-led classes (not just videos); small class sizes; and transparent, published fees. Brainybay meets all four — book a free trial class before you decide.

Ask about accreditation, class size, teacher qualifications, whether classes are live or recorded, exam registration support, pastoral care, tech requirements, refund policy, and how progress is reported to parents.

For families who value flexibility, small classes, safety and internationally recognised qualifications, yes — but success depends on a quiet study space, steady internet, and consistent parental support, especially for younger children.

Students log into live, teacher-led classes each day on their laptop, complete assignments through the learning platform, and get regular feedback and reports. Parents receive progress updates every term and can meet teachers online.
