About us
MyEdSpace was created to provide world-class tuition at a fraction of the cost – we want the best education to be accessible to all. We have recently completed our pre-seed round, in which we were backed by some of the leading angels in the UK. Our founders have backgrounds in venture capital & investment banking and are also multiple-time founders and operators.
MyEdSpace aims to revolutionise the way education is delivered. We provide tech-enabled, live teaching from world-class, fully-qualified teachers, at extremely affordable rates for students across the UK. We leverage live streams to provide 1-to-many live lessons and then onboard our students onto our learning-portal. Here students can access homeworks, workbooks, revision materials, and are also assigned a personal mentor for constant support and progress monitoring.
We offer our courses directly to students, as well as partnering with schools. We currently offer Maths courses but are adding other subjects fast.
We are growing quickly and have ambitious scaling plans - this is an opportunity to get exposure to a start-up at the earliest stage and truly be part of the growth journey.
