Company Description
We’re a team of mathematicians, teachers, and technologists who believe there is a better way to teach Maths than textbooks.
Together, we’re building Brix, an online learning platform that aims to provide a world-class Maths education for students across the UK.
Taking inspiration from the Code and Khan Academies, but pointed firmly at the UK A level syllabus, our goal is to make studying Maths a bit more like it should be: intuitive, interactive and (perhaps, just a little bit) fun.
Our ambition is to become a profitable company, but our vision is bigger than that. We have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to millions of students’ education, and help foster an life-long understanding and love of Maths.
We have recently raised a decent seed round and are now developing the first version of our product which will be released to selected partner schools in September. We are looking for a UX/UI whizz to help bring the Brix methodology to life.
