Smart technology that empowers learners to get more out of their online tuition sessions has been introduced to the Bramble live online teaching platform.

Maths teaching has taken up more than a third of all the hours spent on the Bramble online teaching platform during the lockdown, new figures reveal.

An online teaching platform that gives socially distanced schools the means to deliver high quality, interactive lessons to entire classes of students has been launched and made freely available by UK technology company Bramble.

Liu Yachao, a maths teacher in China who went on to become the CEO of TAL Education Group, has this year become the company’s second billionaire. The Beijing-based company, which provides core academic tuition for Chinese students, has had an incredibly successful year, with its stock more than doubling.

As part of a $50 million funding round, the Facebook founder has invested in education platform, Varsity Tutors. The news comes following Varsity Tutor’s acquisition of UK-based tutoring company First Tutors.
