Online maths tutoring trusted by schools
Personalised voice-based AI maths tutoring for primary and secondary schools
“After the first of our academies used Third Space Learning, word got out that the online maths tuition was having a positive impact and we then obviously wanted a piece of the action as well! The personalisation is second to none. Each school has done the data analysis and made the decision that this extra support is something they want to continue with.”

One-to-one maths tutoring that reaches more students
With busy classes, stretched workloads and limited budgets, it’s often impossible to give personalised support to every student who needs it.
Since 2013, over 4,200+ schools have chosen Third Space Learning’s cost-effective one-to-one maths tutoring – giving them more time to focus on whole-class teaching and learning.
We’ve used all the online tutoring insights we’ve gained in the last decade to create Skye, an AI maths tutor like no other.
How schools are using the AI maths tutoring
A high-quality, low-cost AI maths tutor for schools
Tutoring maths online should go beyond asking questions and marking answers, which is why we’ve built an AI maths tutor that talks to students as they listen and respond.
Maths support from Skye replicates the tutoring experience and extensive knowledge of a pedagogically-trained maths specialist – but even more accessible for school budgets.
Online maths tutoring from Skye is unlimited for one fixed low cost, so every student in your school who needs it can learn with their own personal maths tutor.
Meet Skye, the AI maths tutor“The way Third Space Learning’s online tutoring programmes are set up means the work is pitched at the right level for each child without the need for the teacher to be heavily involved. This massively cuts down on teacher workload! It’s just as effective as bringing in private maths tutors but it’s so much cheaper, so you can afford to have more children doing the online tuition.”

Frequently asked questions
How does the maths tutoring work in schools?
Maths tutoring is personalised one-to-one maths teaching designed to address individual gaps and build confidence. Unlike whole-class teaching, it adapts to each pupil’s specific needs – targeting the exact concepts they’re struggling with rather than covering the curriculum at a fixed pace. The maths tutoring programmes from Third Space Learning have been built using insights from 2.1 million one-to-one tutoring sessions delivered to over 4,100 schools since 2013. AI tutor Skye adapts lesson pace, hints and scaffolding in real time based on each pupil’s responses.
Can the online maths tutoring be used for homework?
Yes, the AI tutor is available to provide extra online lessons at home to practise effective study strategies and consolidate the maths subject knowledge and skills. Find out more about how to use Skye at home.
What is the difference between a maths tutor and an online maths tutor?
A traditional maths tutor teaches in person; an online maths tutor or AI maths tutor like Skye delivers the same high-quality maths tuition through an online platform.
How are online lessons scheduled?
Teachers simply log in, pick a slot and Skye handles the rest. Need to rearrange? You can schedule or reschedule online lessons at five-minute intervals before, during or after school.
Which maths subjects and lessons can students study?
We cover all National Curriculum topics for mathematics: number, algebra, geometry, statistics and more. Programmes map directly to classroom maths lessons and the most common schemes such as White Rose Maths, NCETM or MNP, so students see familiar lessons reinforced both at KS2 and GCSE level.
How do the online maths programmes build confidence and support progress?
Diagnostic assessment identifies gaps, while adaptive dialogue boosts confidence every session. Real-time reports show how much support each pupil has received and where their knowledge is growing fastest.
What is the evidence for one-to-one maths tutoring?
According to the EEF one to one tutoring adds approximately 5 months of progress to a child’s understanding of maths.In a survey of schools using Third Space Learning for Year 6 pupils in 2024/25, 78% of pupils receiving tutoring reached the expected standard in maths, compared with 74% nationally. An independent evaluation by Educate Ventures Research found that pupils improved from 34% correct on diagnostic check-in questions to 92% on check-out questions within sessions – consistent with meaningful within-session learning and consolidation. Schools across both primary and secondary have reported measurable impact on SATs and GCSE outcomes.
