TILF stands for The Independent Learning Foundation. Our mission is to democratise access to quality education for everyone, no matter their background. To make that happen, we believe in empowering every key player in the education system—teachers, students, schools.
We support teachers by taking the burden of marking off their shoulders, so they can do what they love most: teach. No more weekends lost to piles of essays—just more energy to give personalised attention where it’s needed.
We support students by helping them learn independently, at their own pace, with instant feedback that actually helps them improve. And because their teachers aren’t running on empty, they can also get better support from someone who has time to care.
TILF is built around a simple idea: if we want to unlock opportunity for every learner, we need to support the whole ecosystem. That’s exactly what we’re here to do.
We cover any essay-based subject—history, literature, politics, languages, religious studies, economics, and more. Basically, if it’s not maths or science, we’ve probably got it.
We support all major exam boards: AQA, CIE, Edexcel, Eduqas, and more. We’ve got you covered for major exams: GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, AS, IB, and AP (US).
