The Skills Academy

Our technology is trusted by over 50,000 teachers worldwide and by 60% of UK secondary schools to precisely identify student misconceptions using a combination of social and machine learning. We provide dynamic data visualisation and analytics to teachers and parents alongside intervention and performance recommendations, including the use of quality remedial content and best in class tuition to tackle exactly those misconceptions. We have a vision to be the ‘Experian for Learning', it might not sound sexy, but they produce 3.5million consumer credit reports in a typical day; at the Skills Academy we have a million student interactions a month - not quite there yet but in conjunction with the UK's major awarding bodies we are providing our services to every GCSE student in the country in September'16, generating between 15-30 million interactions per week - much better! We're always interested in speaking with like-minded organisations, education institutions, investors, teachers, tutors, students and prospective employees, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
