About EduSphere AI

Our Mission is to Make Great Learning Universal

We believe every person โ€” regardless of age, background, or location โ€” deserves access to truly personalised, effective education. AI makes this possible for the first time in history.

AI Drone Lessons Future Education

From Frustration to Innovation

EduSphere AI was founded in 2021 by Dr. Maya Adeyemi and Tom Harrington โ€” a cognitive scientist and a machine learning engineer who shared a single frustration: that despite decades of education research showing one-to-one tutoring is 3ร— more effective than classroom teaching, almost nobody could access it.

Working from a small office in London, they built the first version of the EduSphere engine โ€” an adaptive AI that could replicate the benefits of personal tutoring at scale. Within six months, their pilot school saw test scores rise by 30%.

Today, EduSphere AI is trusted by over 500 institutions across 28 countries, and our team has grown to 120 passionate educators, researchers, and engineers. But our mission hasn't changed: make great learning accessible to everyone.

What We Stand For

๐ŸŒ

Accessibility First

Great education should not be a privilege. We design for every learner, everywhere โ€” regardless of device, language, or connectivity.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Evidence-Driven

Every feature we build is grounded in cognitive science and learning research. We measure outcomes obsessively and follow the data.

๐Ÿ”’

Privacy & Safety

Learner data is sacred. We are GDPR compliant, never sell data, and build the highest security standards into everything we do.

๐Ÿค

Partnerships Over Products

We see our relationship with schools and institutions as partnerships, not transactions. Your success is our success.

โšก

Relentless Innovation

The AI space moves fast. We invest heavily in R&D and maintain a culture where curiosity and experimentation are celebrated.

๐Ÿ’›

Human at the Core

AI augments teachers โ€” it never replaces them. We build technology that empowers educators and keeps human connection central.
