Comparing Medly AI and MyEdSpace

Medly AI and MyEdSpace both offer online tuition in English, Maths and Science - but the way they teach is completely different. 

At a glance, Medly relies on AI to teach, set questions and then grade student responses, while MyEdSpace, employs the UK’s top human teachers - people with years of experience and a proven track record of improving student outcomes.

To help you compare the two options and assess which would be better for you or your family, here’s a side-by-side comparison of what you get. 

Medly vs MyEdSpace

Let’s now take a more detailed look at both…

What is Medly?

Medly AI is an AI-tutoring program. One way to think of Medly is as an artificial version of a private tutor, working one-to-one with students across a range of subjects and qualification levels.

The Medly program covers GCSE, A-levels, IGCSE, IB, AP, and SAT exams across AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and CIE exam boards. Using a Bayesian adaptive learning system, Medly AI adapts in real-time with the explanations and questions it poses, based on the student’s responses, before moving on to the next topic based on its interpretation of how much the student has grasped. Then, ‘Medly Mocks’ tests students with life-like exams, to track their progress against grade boundaries.

Medly also includes a built-in handwriting canvas that comes with automatic marking, alongside an ‘Upload & Mark’ tool, into which students can add their own practice papers to be marked by AI.

What is MyEdSpace?

MyEdSpace offers two live lessons per subject, per week, delivered by the UK’s top English, Maths and Science teachers - with daytime and evening timetables catering for home-educated and school-educated children alike.

The MyEdSpace course catalogue covers the full-UK curriculum from Year 5, all the way through to Year 13, including the 11+, SATs, GCSEs and A-levels. In addition there are expert-led preparatory courses dedicated to preparing students for the 11+ exam, GCSE Exam Masterclasses, A-level Exam Masterclasses and UCAT exam, Meanwhile, additional Summer Schools and Easter Revision Courses are run during school holidays.

MyEdSpace lessons take place online, accessed from a bespoke student dashboard.

Students don't use cameras or microphones. By delivering lessons in this way, students enjoy the best possible learning environment without distractions:, so everyone stays focused.

MyEdSpace teachers are experts in providing safe, engaging learning environments, where there is zero-judgment and questions are encouraged. Plus, learning alongside their peers encourages more questions and collaboration, boosting confidence, engagement and energy levels.

Finally, all MyEdSpace live lessons are recorded and made available to be re-watched at any time, for revision purposes, so students never miss out on any content and can go back and revise topics wherever and whenever they want.

Which is better; Medly or MyEdSpace?

It’s not for us to say. 

What we can say is, for too long, families have had to choose between what works and what they can afford. But no more.

Every student is different, and what works best for one may not be the best for another. And, we believe parents and carers are best-placed to decide which approach would best suit their families needs.
