About Third Space Learning

Third Space Learning provides online one-to-one maths tutoring for schools. It now includes Skye, an AI maths tutor built by teachers that talks through problems with pupils. It also offers maths resources, a Maths Hub for primary teachers and teacher training.

Its stated aim is to close the maths attainment gap. It describes itself as a team of maths teachers and technologists working to give every child a real chance to succeed in maths.

It was founded in 2013 by Tom Hooper, who is chief executive. Its registered office is in Swindon, England, and it trades as Virtual Class Ltd. It also works in the US. It says it has delivered 2.3 million sessions to 196,000 pupils in 4,200 schools.

Its principles are affordability, accessibility and lessons designed by teachers and matched to the curriculum. Its team page names leaders in product, operations, commercial and learning roles, plus content staff.

It links to a careers site on Workable but we could not read it, so we found no details of graduate schemes, internships or tutor requirements. Check its careers page for current roles.
