Revenue model

1. Schools Programme Tuition (NTP): Revenue comes from providing tutoring services to schools through the National Tutoring Programme. Schools receive a 75% discount on tuition costs for Pupil Premium students, with the remaining cost covered by the school. Talent-Ed offers both online and in-school tuition programmes. Pricing is per group (typically 3-4 students) per programme cycle.
2. Maths Masterclass Tutorials: The MMT programme is free for all students in the introductory term. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds continue to receive free places on the full programme. Other students may be offered subsidised places. This is a cost-recovery model rather than profit-generating.
3. Partner Funding and Grants: As a registered charity (no. 1149130), Talent-Ed receives support from partners including MESME and The Good Thinking Society to fund the Maths Masterclass Tutorials programme.

Core offering

Talent-Ed Education delivers high-quality small-group tuition from qualified, experienced teachers to disadvantaged UK students through two programmes: the Schools Programme (in-school and online KS2-4 tuition in Maths, English, and Science for Pupil Premium-eligible students) and the Maths Masterclass Tutorials (free/subsidised online maths enrichment for Years 7-8). Delivery is via qualified teachers in groups of up to 4 students over 15-week cycles, supported by a Virtual Learning Environment for materials and tutor-student communication.

Product overview

Talent-Ed Education is a UK-based charity offering two primary educational programmes: the Maths Masterclass Tutorials (a free/subsidised online maths tuition programme delivered via Zoom in partnership with Dr. Simon Singh) and the Schools Programme (tailored in-school or online tuition for disadvantaged students covering Maths, English, and Science for KS2-4). As an approved National Tutoring Programme (NTP) Tuition Partner, the organisation provides subsidised tutoring under the government NTP scheme. Supporting programmes include the Monthly Maths Challenge Programme (delivered by partner The Good Thinking Society) and an Online Learning Platform (VLE) for student and tutor access to materials and communication.
