Third Space was founded by Adam Trainor and Tom Opp, who came together around a vision of mentoring young people through academics. Adam and Tom bring to bear a combined 15 years experience in private education to lead a talented staff of academic mentors with strong backgrounds as both teachers and tutors. Our name, ThirdSpace, speaks directly to our mission: in conjunction with parents and school teachers, as academic mentors we offer another critical level of support in our students’ lives. In other words, we provide a “third space” for students to work, grow, and thrive.
