Comparing MyEdSpace and Physics & Maths Tutor

Both ‘Physics & Maths Tutor’ and MyEdSpace both help students prepare for their exams, but in very different ways.

Physics & Maths Tutor (PMT) is a free revision website, where students work through subjects topic-by-topic, through past papers, revision notes and exam questions - all at their own pace. Alongside the free resources, it runs two paid services: a marketplace to book hourly sessions with 1-to-1 tutors, and intensive revision courses over the school holidays.

MyEdSpace, on the other hand, employs the UK's top English, Maths and Science teachers - people with years of experience and a proven track record of helping students achieve their full potential. Students learn in live, online, interactive, group lessons, following a structured weekly timetable, with courses guiding kids from Year 5 all the way through to their A-levels.

To help you compare the two and decide which would work best for you or your family, here's a side-by-side look at what each offers.

Comparing Physics & Maths Tutor and MyEdSpace online courses

While those are the headlines, here's a detailed look at what Physics & Maths Tutor and MyEdSpace offer.

What is Physics and Maths Tutor?

Physics & Maths Tutor (PMT) is an online revision website that helps students revise at their own pace.

The free resources on offer cover Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, Economics, Geography, Psychology, and Computer Science, all matched to specific exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel and OCR. There's also a section for university admissions tests, including the UCAT, PAT and STEP - funded in part by advertising.

Alongside the free library, PMT runs two paid services. The first is a tutoring marketplace, where students book 1-to-1 lessons with tutors interviewed and selected by PMT, from £20 an hour.

The second is a programme of live online revision courses over the school holidays, during summer, Christmas, Easter and May half-term, delivered through Google Classroom and Google Meet. These courses are exam-board specific and cover GCSE and A-level subjects.

Because the free resources sit on their own, there's no teacher attached to them. Students revise independently, and if they want live teaching they pay for it separately, either by the hour with a tutor or as a one-off holiday course - which can suit confident, self-motivated learners.

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.

We offer courses covering the full UK curriculum from Year 5, all the way through to Year 13, including the full UK curriculums at Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, GCSEs and A-levels. Plus, we offer expert-led preparatory courses dedicated to the 11+ exam, GCSE Exam Masterclasses, A-level Exam Masterclasses, and the UCAT. Live teaching is also available during school holidays through our Summer Schools and Easter Revision Courses.

MyEdSpace lessons are all live and online. Students don't use cameras or microphones, creating the best possible learning environment, one that's focused, supportive and distraction-free. Studies have shown that collaborative learning also encourages more questions and engagement from students, boosting confidence, engagement and energy levels across the board.

The results our students achieve speak for themselves. In 2025 for example, three times more MyEdSpace students achieved GCSE grade 9 than the national average, and almost three-quarters of our A-level students achieved B or above (73%), nationally it was slightly over half (55%).

All MyEdSpace content is created by expert teachers and former examiners, not algorithms. And all live lessons are recorded and made available to re-watch at any time, so students never miss out and can go back to any topic whenever they want.

Finally, our comprehensive library of exam-board specific resources, study notes, step-by-step explanation videos and practice questions across GCSEs and A-levels is completely free.

Which is better: Physics & Maths Tutor or MyEdSpace?

Which is better for each individual child depends on their own needs and learning style.

What we can say is that the two are designed to do quite different things. PMT is built around free, self-directed revision, with live teaching available as a paid extra that students buy separately, either by the hour or as an intensive burst over the holidays. It suits confident revisers who know what they need to work on and are comfortable managing their own schedule.

Meanwhile, MyEdSpace offers structured, curriculum-led teaching from real expert UK teachers from Year 5 right through to GCSE and A-levels, with the live lessons, guidance and accountability that come with a genuine classroom environment, all for a predictable monthly cost.

The two can even work well together: many students use free revision resources alongside taught lessons. The difference is that with MyEdSpace there's a real teacher explaining each topic every week, answering questions live and keeping the whole year on track, rather than a resource bank the student has to work through alone.

Every student is different, and what works best for one may not be the best for another. Parents and carers are best placed to decide which approach suits their family's needs.

If your child is working towards UK exams and you want expert, live teaching that keeps them on track all year, MyEdSpace is built exactly for that.
