Our story

Two childhood best friends, one flat in Hertfordshire, and a plan to make revision something students actually want to do.

Two young boys in white karate suits practising together in a sports hall. Ryan, on the left, wears a yellow belt; James, on the right, wears a red belt.
Where it all started: Ryan (yellow belt) and James (red belt).

Ottered was founded by childhood best friends, James and Ryan, in a flat in the heart of Hertfordshire.

Our goal is to revolutionise the e-learning space, turning boring revision and homework into fun, interactive and reward-driven practice.

  • Your speed, your level. Timed challenges and degrees of difficulty let students and teachers decide the pace.
  • Track progress. Students, teachers and parents can follow progress through reports that show areas of excellence and areas of weakness.
  • Build your own tools. Students can make their own revision tools to conquer their real-world examinations.
