Which is more effective, group learning or 1-to-1, private tuition?

Collaborative group learning provides numerous benefits which are lost in 1-to-1 tutoring and private tuition.

First, learning alongside their peers encourages more questions and collaboration, boosting confidence, engagement and energy levels, which can be lost in a more intimidating 1-to-1 setting where anxious students can feel put on the spot.

Our teachers are experts in providing safe, engaging learning environments, where there is zero-judgment and questions are encouraged. That’s a big part of why we hired them.

All student cameras are switched off, so no student appears on screen and their real-life identity is hidden behind the anonymity of a username and avatar.

We’ve chosen our specific way of delivering lessons to ensure that there’s no pressure to speak on camera or in front of the class – students can participate through the chat and ask questions anonymously.

We have found that this makes all students substantially more likely to contribute by asking and answering questions, while also providing a 'strength in numbers' feeling of reassurance and all the other benefits associated with collaborative learning.

We have found that each student on average sends 25 messages into the chat per lesson, creating an incredibly interactive atmosphere.

It’s quite difficult to find the right tutors for your kids. Parents often have to decide between cheaper, but less experienced tutors or highly qualified ones that ask for thousands per subject. Vetting their qualifications and suitability is also difficult, with no regulatory body in the UK.

We do things differently. We use technology and scale to cut overheads without cutting quality. By bringing people together, we ensure every child can access elite UK teaching talent at a fraction of the cost of hiring a private tutor.

We handpick high-quality, experienced teachers who have a track-record of helping children reach their full potential. Meaning you can rest assured that instead of a Grad Student looking to earn a few extra £s, your child is learning from highly-qualified teachers, who’ve spent years honing their talent for educating.

With MyEdSpace, there’s no compromise on quality - you’re just not paying for empty travel time or inefficiencies. It’s a 10x better education, at 10% of the cost.

Don't just take our word for it. We have thousands of 5* star reviews from parents and students on Trustpilot.


What’s included in a MyEdSpace course?

Our courses include two online interactive live lessons, per subject, per week, delivered by an experienced subject-specialist teacher.

Alongside the live lessons, each course also includes tailored workbooks, targeted practice questions and step-by-step video explanations for every topic, to reinforce learning.

Recordings of the live lessons, plus all the additional materials are available 24/7, allowing them to be rewatched and revisited at any time. Regular progress reports track improvement every step of the way.


How do you ensure the difficulty level is right for every student?

To make sure every student is working at a level that’s right for them, every student’s progress is monitored and parents receive a progress report.

If we feel that a student is struggling, or not being pushed hard enough, we can adjust the year group, or course level up or down accordingly.

If you want to discuss changing levels at any time, our Customer Success team are here to help.
