LearningMole is a United Kingdom-based educational platform that produces curriculum-aligned video resources, worksheets, and interactive learning materials for primary-aged children. Founded in 2017 by Michelle Connolly, a former primary school teacher, the platform is headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and operates both a website and a YouTube channel with over 260,000 subscribers.
History
LearningMole was founded in 2017 by Michelle Connolly in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Connolly, who holds a Bachelor of Education (Honours) from Stranmillis University College, Queen's University Belfast, had spent over 16 years as a primary school teacher in the United Kingdom before founding the platform. Her teaching career also included two years at an international school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and experience teaching in Egypt.
The platform was created after Connolly identified a gap in accessible educational support for parents. Teaching methods in UK primary schools — particularly in mathematics and systematic synthetic phonics — had evolved significantly, and parents frequently lacked the resources to support their children effectively at home.
Services and Products
LearningMole provides educational content for children aged 4 to 11, aligned with the UK National Curriculum across Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2, and into Key Stage 3. The platform's offerings include:
- Over 3,300 curriculum-aligned educational resources
- Over 800 educational videos on YouTube
- Printable worksheets and classroom activities
- Interactive e-learning materials
- Premium video subscription service for schools, teachers, and families
- AI for Teachers professional development course
Subject coverage spans maths, English, science, history, geography, coding, financial literacy, and world languages and cultures.
Operating Model
LearningMole uses a freemium business model. The majority of content is free to access, including all YouTube channel videos and a substantial proportion of website resources. A premium subscription service provides extended access to the full resource library, with pricing structured for schools, individual teachers, and families.
Reach and Growth
The platform's YouTube channel has grown to over 260,000 subscribers with more than 19 million total views, with content accessed in nearly every country worldwide. This growth has been achieved without paid advertising or external investment, driven by organic recommendations from teachers and parents.
Partnerships
LearningMole has partnered with CodeMonkey, an educational coding platform, and Northern Ireland Screen, the national screen agency for Northern Ireland.
