Our take
Since being founded, Seneca has been driven by the goal of making free online learning more effective and enjoyable. Rather than asking for subscriptions from students, it supports schools which use both its free and premium offerings for their pupils.
To modernise the education industry, Seneca provides videos, summaries, notes, and lots of practice questions on its online interactive revision guides. Unlike traditional tutoring services, it is fully adaptive to students' learning experience, and tailored to suit their unique educational needs. This approach has been developed in collaboration with Oxford neuroscientists, and offers a statistically significant improvement in learners' test scores.
The rise of homeschooling due to the COVID-19 pandemic has massively increased the size and the demand of the market, with Seneca having up to 50,000 students signing up daily during lockdown. Seneca is currently used by over 6 million people across the UK, as well as millions across the world - including Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, and the USA.
