Issue 5 2022 9 Mar22060 Live, Love, Learn with Explore Learning. Having led innovation in the British tuition market for over two decades, Explore Learning has provided and delivered high-quality maths and English tuition to over 300,000 four- to 14-year-olds. Established as the UK’s Most Trusted Supplementary Education Provider, Explore Learning has over 100 vibrant learning centres, a bespoke online tuition platform and an award-winning curriculum supported by its exceptional workforce of more than 4000 employees. For over twenty years, Explore Learning has been recognised as a trusted partner for parents, schools, businesses, and charities in their goals to meet children’s individual learning needs and as a company that provides exceptional employment opportunities. Explore’s founding member and first employee, Carey Ann Dodah, expands on the company’s offering, stating, “We believe in dreaming big and are committed to creating a life-long love of learning in every child that we tutor and person we employ.” Explore Learning works with families across the entirety of the UK. They fill a need for so many parents who want more for their child. In Explore Learning, parents have found a place where their children can thrive and tutors ignite a passion for learning. They trust Explore Learning - its safe, welcoming environment and its team of 4000 professionals - to make their ambitions for their children a reality. Part of what makes the organisation so exceptional is how it differentiates itself from competitors, such as how it employs, trains, and develops its own tutors in-house. By doing so, Explore Learning can handpick passionate and relatable people who love learning and are undistracted by the baggage of traditional education. Carey expands on additional components that the company uses to deliver a unique service in a competitive market, stating, “We use a unique adaptive curriculum tool, Compass, created by our own team of 50 educators to match the UK curricula. That means children learn what they need to know when they need to know it. Every child’s mind is unique, allowing them to develop their skills at a level and pace that is right for them. Moreover, we offer the ultimate flexibility for families. They can visit one of our education centres or access our tuition online. All children can practise their skills 24/7 on their own individual programme from wherever they are.” With all its centres registered with Ofsted, children are safe at Explore Learning – a top priority for families and the organisation. Moreover, its online services are delivered through a secure platform. Its dedicated safeguarding team provides regular checks and training, further showcasing how much Explore Learning cares for its client’s safety, online and in person. However, with these factors in place, it wouldn’t be as successful today without the dedication and passion of its team of over 4000 exceptional individuals. “The company’s culture is one of a family. Many individuals have made lifelong careers here, starting as tutors and progressing through the business to be today’s senior leaders. We value experience and knowledge of working with children in our centres and online. We also believe in unlocking the potential of every employee just as we do with the children we teach,” states Carey. However, like many businesses across the nation, Explore Learning was considerably affected by the shockwave that was the Covid-19 pandemic, with a significant loss of learning members. The effects of the pandemic forced the organisation to close centres and faced a reduction in annual revenue of £14 million. Carey expands on these effects, stating, “Until this point, our entire business was based on in-person interactions in our learning centres. Therefore, it has been a huge achievement that we have successfully continued trading, stabilising a membership at over 22,500 members and reshaping the business for the future. We were determined that the lockdowns and restricted access to in-person learning should not prevent us from delivering excellent tuition. This determination led us to develop an award-winning curriculum solution, Compass, with technology experts Talk Think Do and our own team of 50 educators.” In the coming year, Explore Learning is launching a new GCSE Maths offering to support learners up to 16 years of age alongside developing its learning tool Compass to be as inclusive as possible. Carey also comments that “Explore Learning will continue to expand their centre and online offerings to even more families across the UK alongside growing corporate partnerships – now offered to some of the UK’s top employers as a benefit for working families.” Exceptionally regarded as the Most Trusted Supplementary Education Provider of 2022, Explore Learning showcases its unique approach to learning and its results as a business and for families is snowballing into rapid and increasing success by the day.
