Primary maths tutoring programmes
Online one to one tutoring to close gaps, accelerate progress and prepare for SATs
The programmes are excellent and allow the school to target specific children in different ways. The reports breakdown is also very useful to help support children back in the classroom.

Boost KS2 SATs scores
Programmes are available to support pupils as they progress through KS2 and into Year 6.
9 out of 10 teachers feel the tutoring has helped their Year 6 pupils achieve higher maths SATs scores than they otherwise would have.
Identify and address individual gaps
Diagnostic assessments at the start of the programme let tutors and teachers know where each pupil needs most support.
Tutors use formative assessments to adapt the pathway through each lesson, providing opportunities to recap prior learning if pupils need or skipping straight to independent practice if they’re ready.
Teachers can review and re-order lessons at any point
One to one support for more pupils
With Third Space Learning, multiple pupils receive personalised one to one maths support all at the same time.
Teachers no longer have to continously address individual gaps and have more time to do what they do best – teach!
Built by maths teachers
Our team of former primary teachers and maths specialists have built all primary maths tutoring programmes in line with the latest research and best practice.
Tutor training, lessons, assessments, resources and programme structure are regularly reviewed to ensure maximum impact for pupils.
Delivered by maths specialists
We recruit only the highest-quality STEM graduates and undergraduates.
All tutors receive extensive initial tutor training and professional development on delivering effective and engaging one to one maths lessons.
Money-back guarantee
We know your staff and pupils will love it.
If you don’t, we’ll give you 100% of your money back if you’re not happy within the first 6 weeks.
