Online maths lessons at home

"Third Space provides a regular and reliable session of 1-to-1 support. Their confidence is raised and as a result their outcomes are improved. It is astonishing to see how well children build relationships with their tutors and how the tutors adapt their teaching to the child’s interests."

"Children love the sessions - reluctant mathematicians have huge smiles on their faces."

"Children showed great progress and were confident when given problems to solve. It really worked!"

"Third Space gives individual children personalised attention to their needs to move their confidence and academic achievement in maths forward."

"It has really made a difference to our students. They have been motivated by a different way of learning than in the classroom. The assessment of their level of understanding which is then built upon with lots of positive reinforcement. 1:1 tailored programmes to the individual needs of the child is time very well spent."

"Third Space allowed our Year 6s to not only reach the expected standard but to gain a love and interest for Maths. The positive difference that Third Space made was obvious within the classroom and in our pupils' much improved assessment results."

"All 8 children who had the 1-to-1 sessions achieved age related expectations in SATs, with high arithmetic and reasoning scores. The children really valued the opportunity to work at their own pace and every week I would assign the lessons, focusing on what each child needed."

"Learning is tailored to meet the needs of the children. The support network which is offered is second to none. It is an incredible resource which has a very positive impact on the confidence, progress and attainment of our children."

"In all honesty, the sessions are excellent and the structure and pace means the children progress well. Most importantly, they love them! And in times of budget cuts and uncertainty, it's something which we had no problem funding again this year."

"Our results in KS2 are up by 30% this year and teachers have identified Third Space as one of the things that has made a real difference."

"Builds confidence, develops reasoning skills through talk, is a safe environment for children to become confident in making mistakes - leading to increased resilience. The children enjoy working with their tutors focusing on specific skills in a fun and different way."

"One Year 4 pupil used to cry when they came into school for maths, now they’re much happier at school after using Third Space; their confidence has increased. All the kids at school want to do Third Space, they don’t see it as a catch up programme."

"The children are really engaged in the sessions and are encouraged to verbalise their answers. I also like that children are not moved on before they are secure on that concept."

"The progress made by the children since receiving Third Space sessions has been superb with children accelerating their progress and now closing the attainment gap, closer to desired outcomes."

"The children enjoy their sessions and the impact on confidence- seen in class- is excellent."

"The pupils that are receiving the programme have shown an excellent improvement in their confidence as well as competency in key areas. The progress reports clearly show how a pupil's understanding is developing over time."

"I think it's really good for those kids that are "invisible", the ones that are quiet and less confident and who sometimes cope by just taking a sneaky look at what their neighbour's doing and just writing the same thing as them. Or, those who don't pick things up until it's a bit late or have gaps from earlier years. That's what's really worked for us with the diagnostic assessment programme - it picks up gaps that you don't necessarily see if they're doing a bit of copying in class. And then because it's one-to-one there's absolutely nowhere for them to hide, they have to do the work themselves, it's just them and the teacher. And it is fascinating for me because you can hear them talking it through and you think "yeah you didn't get that before but I know you do now". I think you've got really quite talented teachers at the other end."

"We have been using the service for the last 2 years and know that it has a positive impact on our pupils."

"I've been really impressed with how involved my reluctant learners have become. They're going to be gutted when we have to stop"

"The children really enjoy the sessions and the tutors seem very keen to help the children."

"We have enjoyed using Third Space Learning. We love the feedback reports and the confidence it has given our pupils to attempt maths using a different mindset."

"Great service and the children really seem to be getting a lot out of the sessions."

"I love the whole concept of Third Space Learning. For the past 2 weeks I've supervised all sessions and just marvelled at the excitement the children show to 'attend' each session. It amazes me that even though they share the same learning area and are talking through the lessons with their tutors, that they are able to focus and participate in their learning."

"The children love Third Space and it really supports what they do in class, filling in their gaps in learning and building their confidence. The fact that children have to speak with their tutor and explain their reasoning, develops confidence and their use of mathematical vocabulary."

"The 1-to-1 sessions are perfect at aligning the small steps, gaps or misconceptions that need to be addressed to enable more confident learners and see rapid progress."

"Our pupils fully engage with their sessions which they find both enjoyable and challenging."
