Episode 270: What happens when high-impact maths tutoring meets agentic AI?
In this episode of Thinking Deeply About Primary Education, Kieran is joined by Candida Crawford (Third Space Learning) to explore Skye, a “Third Space” AI maths tutor built to deliver one-to-one style spoken tutoring at scale.
Candida explains:
The problem Skye is designed to tackle.
Why Third Space moved from human-delivered tutoring to AI now and what schools actually get.

And much more...
