“As a teacher, I can see exactly why MyEdSpace works”

Lorraine and her daughters’ MyEdSpace story

“As both a parent and a science teacher, I’ve seen education from almost every angle,” begins Lorraine, whose two daughters both study with MyEdSpace.

“I’ve taught in classrooms, supported students through challenging topics, paid for private tuition for my older children, and spent years helping young people develop confidence in their learning. So when my two daughters joined the MyEdSpace Summer School, I approached it with a professional eye. What I found surprised me. It's a really good format.” 

“As a teacher, I can see exactly why it works."

Engaging, affordable online learning

“After seeing how engaged they were, I enrolled them in the Year 5 Maths, English and Science lessons throughout the academic year.”

“I came to the platform with extensive experience of tutoring. For my older sons, who are now 18 and 20, I was paying £35 an hour for traditional one-to-one tuition during their A-levels. Looking back, something like MyEdSpace would have been far more cost-effective. But for me, the appeal isn't simply about affordability. It's about the teaching model itself.”

Group learning beats one-to-one tuition

“Many families assume one-to-one tuition is always the best option. As someone who has both taught and organised private tutoring, I see things differently.”

“When it's one-to-one, it's very intensive. The student is constantly being asked questions and sometimes they can feel under pressure."

“By contrast, MyEdSpace allows students to learn alongside others while still receiving support. In a classroom, students learn from hearing other people's answers, questions and misconceptions.  I believe that exposure to different ways of thinking often strengthens understanding. There is real value in that and you don't always get that in one-to-one tuition."

Building strong habits before Key Stage 2 SATs

“For me, one of the greatest benefits has been the consistency the lessons create.”

"Both of my daughters now have a routine of attending lessons each week and taking ownership of their learning. They know when their lessons are. They log in themselves and take responsibility for it."

As Year 5 and Year 6 students start preparing for their Key Stage 2 SATs, that consistency matters.”

“I particularly appreciate the inclusion of SATs-focused content and SATs practice because that's something parents really want, particularly in Years 5 and 6. Rather than last-minute preparation, MyEdSpace helps build confidence steadily over time.”

Finding revision easier

“Before joining MyEdSpace, I found revision quite difficult,” admits one of Lorraine’s daughters - before adding, “Since starting lessons, I feel much more confident when approaching difficult topics.”

“One of my favourite things is being able to communicate directly with teachers through the chat function. It's easier to talk to the teacher and tell them when you need help."

Lorraine’s other daughter agrees, having had a similar experience in Maths.

“Maths used to be one of the subjects I found most challenging, especially algebra, but now I understand it much better. Being able to see topics explained in different ways has helped things click for me and my grades have improved. As my end-of-year assessments approach, I feel ready. I feel confident."

The flexibility of online courses

For Lorraine, as a busy mum, the benefits of MyEdSpace don’t stop there.

“The lessons are recorded, which is a huge advantage. If my daughters miss something, they can simply catch up later without losing out. I believe this is one of the reasons online learning has become such a powerful tool for families. I think it's quite revolutionary, actually."

“While many online learning models emerged during Covid, I believe MyEdSpace has refined the concept into something far more effective. The difference is that MyEdSpace has been built specifically for online learning from the start."

Why I recommend MyEdSpace

“Having watched my daughters grow in confidence and develop stronger study habits, I would happily continue using MyEdSpace as they move through school.”

“I‘ve already recommended the platform to other parents, and one family recently joined after hearing about our experience. For me, the recommendation comes from both my perspective as a parent and as a teacher. And perhaps that is the strongest endorsement I can give."

Get ahead this summer with the MyEdSpace Summer School

Lorraine's recommendation comes from someone who has seen education from every angle. If you’d like to see why Lorraine and thousands of others trust MyEdSpace with their children’s education, you can follow her lead and sign up today for our Summer School.

Whether your child is starting Year 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, GCSEs or their A-levels this September, now is the time to get ahead.

Studies show that kids can lose the equivalent of 2 months progress over summer because there's nothing keeping their momentum ticking.

Summer School fixes that without taking over the summer holidays. 3 weeks with expert teachers now can be worth months of extra progress next year - and they can be joined from anywhere. Beach days stay the same, but September is a whole lot easier. Find out more and get ahead this summer.
