The education platform helping over 2 million students, teachers and parents monthly proves that supporting learners starts with supporting your team.
Save My Exams transforms how students approach exam preparation, providing expertly crafted revision resources that help GCSE, IB, AP and A-level students achieve grades they never thought possible. The platform delivers over 26,000 revision notes, 200,000+ practice questions with model answers and 7,000+ educational videos as well as past papers and mark schemes, all designed by professional teachers and examiners to make studying stress-free and effective.
Founded in 2017, Save My Exams was started by ex-tutor Jamie Undrell after witnessing countless students struggle with mounting exam pressures and a lack of accessible, high-quality revision resources online. His mission was straightforward: empower students to succeed by building course-specific learning experiences that give them everything needed to ace their exams. What began as one educator's response to student struggles has evolved into a platform trusted by millions of students, teachers and parents worldwide.
The company's approach centres on simplifying complex topics through syllabus-specific resources that help students avoid information overload whilst building confidence. Their revision notes break down subjects into digestible sections packed with examples, exam tips, diagrams and illustrations that address crucial knowledge gaps. This focused methodology has enabled Save My Exams to support over 2 million students every month across IGCSE, GCSE, A Level, IB and AP exams.
Behind this educational impact lies a workplace culture that recently earned Save My Exams recognition on the Breakthrough Culture Award list, marking them as one of the UK's most loved companies to work for. The company has built what they describe as a high-performing environment where ambitious goals are set and individuals feel empowered and supported to achieve them.
"We want our team to love coming to work every day and to want to produce their best work." This isn't merely aspirational language but reflects a deliberate strategy to create an environment where passionate, growth-oriented individuals can thrive whilst remaining deeply committed to student success.
Save My Exams seeks team members who embody their four core values: Being a Bar Raiser, Acting like an Owner, Being Student Obsessed, and Being a Good Egg. These principles guide everything from recruitment to daily operations, ensuring the team remains focused on what matters most: helping students succeed.
The company's talent philosophy centres on finding proactive, self-motivated individuals who love being part of a team and feel passionate about education. They prioritise word-of-mouth recruitment and personal recommendations, believing that exceptional people attract other exceptional people.
Supporting team development remains central to their strategy. Save My Exams provides each team member with a learning and development budget for personal growth, hosts lunch and learns, conducts product demos, and creates multiple touchpoints for skill building. They want team members to feel that their work matters and that they're empowered to excel at it.
The company balances high performance expectations with genuine support and fun. Virtual socials, bi-annual in-person get-togethers, virtual yoga classes, and team celebrations of achievements create an environment where people feel valued, respected and included. This combination helps maintain the startup energy whilst ensuring team members feel supported as they tackle ambitious goals.
Their commitment to culture extends beyond internal operations. Save My Exams actively enhances their employer brand to attract top candidates whilst refining hiring and onboarding processes for better experiences. They recognise that delivering exceptional educational resources requires a team that feels passionate about their work and proud of what they produce.
The results speak to their approach's effectiveness. Growing from a single tutor's vision to a platform serving millions demonstrates that prioritising both student outcomes and team satisfaction creates sustainable success. Their recognition as one of the UK's most loved workplaces validates the belief that education companies can maintain high performance standards whilst creating environments where people genuinely enjoy their work.
As exam pressures continue mounting for students worldwide, Save My Exams proves that the most effective educational support comes from organisations that invest equally in learner success and team wellbeing. Their culture demonstrates that when team members feel empowered, supported, and passionate about their mission, the impact extends far beyond office walls to reach millions of students seeking confidence and success in their academic journeys.
By building a culture where growth, student obsession, and genuine care intersect, Save My Exams shows that creating exceptional educational resources requires more than subject matter expertise. It demands a workplace where talented individuals can thrive, innovate, and remain deeply connected to the mission of transforming how students learn and succeed.
