Our story

Friends Alex Hatvany and Jake O'Keeffe were frustrated by the inaccessibility of private tuition for most families, and the inconsistency of the teaching quality.
Atom Learning was born! We launched our first product, Atom Home: a low-cost online home learning platform to help children prepare for school entrance exams.

We launched two more products: Atom School, a classroom learning platform for schools, and Atom Assessments, an entry-testing platform for schools.
We started offering free Live Lessons to help children around the world carry on their education from home during the pandemic.
We won the Best AI-based Solution for Education in the AI Breakthrough Awards and were ranked one of the UK’s top 50 startups by Startups100.

We raised $25m in investment from SoftBank – the largest ever Series A funding round by a UK-based EdTech startup. We were also shortlisted for the British Business Excellence Awards and the Bett Awards.
We accelerated our UK growth, doubled our team, and added Key Stage 2 science to our curriculum.

We launched our Pupil Premium programme, providing free access to Atom Home to eligible families. We also started successfully scaling our subscriber base in the grammar school market!
Atom Assessments separated from Atom Learning to become Quest Assessments, and Quest Progress was launched, providing smart, time-saving progress tracking for schools.

We launched unlimited paper tests on Atom Home – a revolutionary solution to help families do as many practice papers as they like, for just one cost.
We're now scoping out further opportunities to grow Atom's products for more audiences. The future is bright at Atom Learning!
