When do courses run?

Our core subject courses run from September to June - with breaks for Christmas and Easter - following the academic year.

Our online courses can be joined at any time. All live lessons are recorded, and available for students throughout the course (up to 31 July), regardless of when they start.

During the year we also run a variety of courses to prepare for exams, or to give students a head start over the holidays. These include;

September - UCAT preparation

April - Easter revision

July to September - 11+ preparation

August - Summer School


Are there any special requirements for enrolling?

No. There are no special prerequisites for enrolling in MyEdSpace courses.

All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device to access our learning platform and a willingness to get involved.


Can I speak directly to the teachers?

Unfortunately, the teachers don't have the capacity to speak directly to every student.

So that our teachers can focus on what they do best; teaching and filming content, we have a dedicated support team of mentors, moderators and a Customer Success team all available to offer help and support.

Course FAQs

How do the live lessons work?

Lessons take place online, accessed from a bespoke student dashboard.

By delivering lessons in this way, we can provide the best student experience without distractions: students don't use cameras or microphones, so everyone stays focused.

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.

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’.

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

We’ve 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. On average, each student sends 25 messages into the chat per lesson, creating a positive and interactive atmosphere.

Lessons can also be re-watched via the same link at any time, for revision purposes so nothing is missed and nobody is left behind.


What curriculum will you cover during the 2026/27 academic year?

Every course covers the full UK curriculum for that subject.


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.

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 do MyEdSpace courses contain?

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.


What exam boards do the courses cover?

We’re not officially affiliated with any exam board and it varies by subject. Some are tailored to specific exam boards, some are designed to cover all. You can find more information on each subject page.

For every course, our teachers have created an extensive curriculum for each year group they teach so we can ensure your child learns all the relevant content.

This may mean that the week that we cover each topic doesn’t exactly match your child’s school, but our experience has shown this to be beneficial for students. This is because they either discover a topic with MyEdSpace before their school and finds themselves ahead of their classmate. Or, alternatively, they learn the subject at school first and MyEdSpace acts as revision to solidify the understanding. Either way, it’s win-win.

For a more detailed breakdown of the exam boards our courses are designed to cover;

  • Maths: Works with ALL exam boards

  • Sciences: AQA focus (+ OCR for A-Level) with 80%+ overlap for other boards

  • English: Skills-based approach works across all boards, AQA-optimised

Unfortunately, we don’t cover the WJEC exam board.

By using technology and scale, our online learning platform allows us to cut overheads and make elite teaching talent available for a fraction of the price of hiring a private tutor, who can charge £60-100/hour.

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.


What if I can't attend a lesson?

All live lessons are recorded and made available on-demand - 24/7 - so no student misses out if they can’t attend a lesson live, and nobody is left behind.

Lesson recordings remain available throughout the academic year, so as well as ensuring additional flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, the recordings provide valuable additional revision material ahead of exams.


How many students are in a lesson?

Just like a university lecture, our live lessons teach hundreds of students together.

We don't set a limit to the number of students. While this might seem unusual, having a larger group actually fosters a sense of community and brings all the benefits of collaborative learning. The students motivate one another, making the learning experience more fun.

The result is students who were quiet in school become active, engaged learners who look forward to lessons.

This scale means we can hire the very best teachers in the country and still keep costs low for families. Students still get the required support, with the teachers and moderators answering questions in real time to keep everyone engaged.
