Our Story

Making High Quality Private Tutoring Accessable to All

Background

Since 2010, we’ve been working to reduce the educational inequality that holds too many children back. Our journey began through Teach First, where we taught and led in inner-city schools, seeing both the immense potential of students and the systemic barriers they face.

What we discovered was clear:

Great teaching changes lives—but access to personalised support remains deeply unequal.

We saw how private tutoring was accelerating progress for wealthier students while those from lower-income families were left behind—not because of a lack of potential, but a lack of opportunity.


That’s why we created our Step Ahead Science – to take what we learned and use it to level the playing field.

Mission & Vision

We envision a future where every child—regardless of background—has access to the tools, support, and guidance they need to thrive in school and beyond.

We want to create a world where:

  • Tutoring isn’t a luxury, but a right.

  • Opportunity isn’t determined by income.

  • Every student gets the chance to achieve their full potential.

 

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To make high-quality private tutoring affordable and accessible for children from middle- and lower-income families.

We do this by:

  • Delivering exceptional tutoring at a price that’s truly accessible

  • Partnering with schools and local authorities to expand impact

  • Supporting parents with clear, trusted educational solutions

  • Creating scalable models that can drive lasting change across communities

We’re building something different—something fairer. And we’re doing it so that no child gets left behind because of where they live or what their family earns.
