Online tutoring and interactive lessons
VirtualSkool brings together personalised online tutoring and engaging digital learning resources designed to help students understand difficult concepts, practise what they learn, and become more confident learners.
Our interactive lessons use animations, simulations, activities and visual explanations to turn learning from something students simply read into something they can actively experience.
Try the lesson on the right: move the sliders, then press Check.

At VirtualSkool, students don't just receive information. They explore ideas, interact with concepts, practise their understanding and learn at their own pace.
Our resources are designed to make difficult ideas easier to understand, while making learning more engaging along the way.
Don't take our word for it. Try a sample lesson and experience the animation, simulations, questions and instant feedback for yourself.
Learning becomes easier when students can actually see how something works, interact with it and test their understanding.
VirtualSkool combines online tutoring with a growing library of interactive digital learning resources designed for students across different stages of their education.
Whether a student needs additional support, wants to practise independently, or simply wants a more engaging way to learn, VirtualSkool provides resources designed around how students learn, not just what they need to memorise.
Personalised support for students.
A growing library of interactive digital lessons and resources.
A textbook can explain how something works. But sometimes, seeing it happen makes all the difference.
VirtualSkool's interactive lessons are designed to help students explore concepts through:
Students can explore, predict, try, observe, practise and explain, turning learning into an experience rather than a passive activity.
Some concepts are difficult to understand simply by reading about them. An animation can show what is happening. A simulation can allow a student to experiment. An interactive activity can give them the opportunity to apply what they have just learned.
