Lesson Content
One to one lessons built by maths teachers
Every Third Space Learning tutoring lesson uses specially-created scaffolded teaching slides designed to encourage conceptual understanding.
Lessons follow an ‘I do, we do, you do’ approach to help pupils move from guided to independent practice.
Maths specialist tutors use intelligent questioning to adjust the pitch and pace of each lesson for each pupil.
“In all honesty, the sessions are excellent and the structure and pace means the children progress well. Most importantly, they love them! Having the additional 1-1 sessions each week has greatly helped. It gave children the opportunity to ask questions and develop their learning. And in times of budget cuts and uncertainty, it’s something which we had no problem funding again this year.”
Robin Morrell, Assistant Headteacher
The Cathedral School of St Saviour & St Mary Overy

More opportunities to address gaps
Teachers have so much content to cover to cover that topics can’t always be revisited, even if pupils lack understanding or confidence.
Third Space Learners receive more opportunities to recap prior learning, practise the topics they struggle with, secure and deepen their understanding – all in the same session.

Boost confidence and engagement
Third Space Learning gives pupils a safe space to explore new concepts and apply their knowledge away from their peers. Tutors praise pupils for their effort, not just for finding the correct answer.
Schools tell us this has a huge impact on pupil confidence, as pupils are more willing to give it a go – even if they don’t get it right the first time.
Build mathematical language
Pupils are connected to their tutor via a shared screen and a microphone headset that we’ll send out free of charge.
Tutors ask questions like “how did you work that out?” and “can you explain why that’s correct?” to encourage pupils to justify their reasoning and verbalise the steps they’re taking.
