BBC Maestro partners with Learning With Experts to launch four new online courses

Oxford EdTech company Learning With Experts has announced a new partnership with streaming platform BBC Maestro to offer four new online courses.

Led by experts including British physician Dr Rangan Chatterjee and epidemiologist Professor Tim Spector, the courses will focus on key areas of wellbeing. 

Chatterjee, who hosts popular podcast Feel Better, Live More, will lead a course titled ‘A Blueprint for Healthy Living’, while Spector will run ‘The Science of Eating Well’.

BBC Maestro is a subscription-based learning platform that offers pre-recorded lessons on a range of popular topics. 

Learning With Experts offers interactive online learning inspired by models from Weight Watchers and Alcoholics Anonymous. Its platform brings together groups for support and collaboration in a classroom-like environment online. 

The four new sessions will be made available through the Learning With Experts website, bringing the BBC Maestro offer onto a community-based platform. The sessions will also include a series of exercises designed to help students start healthy habits. 

“At Learning With Experts, we have always sought to make education through world-class expertise available to as many people as possible,” explains Elspeth Briscoe, CEO at Learning With Experts. “We are immensely proud of this partnership, and are grateful to the BBC Maestro team for working with us on delivering these courses. It is through collaborations that we are able to give learners around the world the best opportunity to not only deepen their knowledge, but also adopt healthier lifestyles.”

BBC Maestro’s Managing Director Lily Smith adds: “We’re delighted to partner with Learning With Experts to bring BBC Maestro’s leading instructors into a community learning model that supports people in turning our expert's guidance into lasting wellbeing habits, making a real difference in people's lives.”
