Third Space Learning

TSL has built an online learning platform that recruits and trains a global community of online teachers from across emerging markets to make online one-to-one learning accessible to children around the world. Central to TSL's model is the creation of intelligent tutor training programmes to manage performance at scale. In parallel, the TSLplatform hosts learning programmes that integrate the best of digital resources and assessment with one-to-one tuition, designed to target specific student markets by subject, age or curricula. Tuition is a $200bn global industry that tends to serve the wealthy minority. TSL's goal is to serve the under-served majority, aligning a social mission with the greatest market opportunity.
