About us
Brilliant educators empowered by tech
Explore Learning is the UK’s largest independent tuition provider for 4-16-year-olds and a recognised leader in the UK education ecosystem. We support more than 27,000 children every week, delivering personalised maths and English lessons in 95 vibrant learning centres and through a unique online platform.
Personalised learning
Every child attending Explore Learning has their own personalised curriculum. The content follows the school curriculum, but the questions presented change in response to whether the child understands the question or not. Feedback is immediate, and questions are scaffolded where needed.
Every child is presented with what they need to know, when they need to know it.
