Our people
Incredible people are at the heart of everything we do. We have over 4,000 amazing individuals in the business and are united by a common goal; to make a difference to every child that we can.
Technical innovators
Combining great people with cutting-edge technology allows us to deliver tutoring with impact. Our award-winning curriculum tool, Compass, was created in-house using a team of 50 educators. We have full ownership and development rights to the tool giving us the flexibility to adapt the platform to meet the needs of our students, the demands of the National Curriculum and ensure it keeps apace with the latest technology.
Proven results
Children make significant progress in their maths and English - on average 19 months academic gain in one year. Our unique adaptive curriculum means each child has their individual learning needs met whilst allowing our tutors to shine. No marking or planning, instead time to build genuine connections, inspire confidence, resilience and nurture a life-long love of learning.
Community impact
Making a difference to our local communities forms an integral part of our vision at Explore Learning. We want to support as many children with their education as possible.

Our story
In 2001, a team of four opened the first Explore Learning centre, with the vision to be the best complement to a child’s school education. This was a vibrant learning environment where, for a couple of hours a week, children worked on their individual needs, honing skills that they most needed for school, with the support of great tutors.
“Explore Learning was born out of a desire to help all parents and children gain access to the benefits of a great education. Parents have a deep-seated need to contribute to their children’s education and to give them the best chance in life.” Bill Mills, Explore Learning Founder & CEO.
