UK company selling online one-to-one maths tutoring to schools, with tutors based in India and Sri Lanka.
Third Space Learning is a UK education company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Swindon. It provides online one-to-one maths tutoring to schools, aiming to close the maths attainment gap, and sells through whole-school licenses and per-pupil programmes rather than directly to families.
The company recruits and trains maths specialists at tutor centres in India and Sri Lanka to deliver one-to-one online sessions to UK pupils, addressing a shortage of maths specialists in the UK. It has also launched "Skye," a teacher-built AI maths tutor drawing on its accumulated tutoring data.
Third Space Learning reports more than 196,000 pupils taught, over 4,200 schools supported and over 2.29 million tutoring hours delivered, with independent evaluations of its affordable maths tuition. As a school-facing managed service, it suits primary and secondary schools wanting structured, curriculum-aligned maths intervention.
