Educators and tech innovators met this November for the TeacherMatic Autumn Community Webinar, spotlighting AI-driven solutions designed to ease teaching pressures and enrich learning.
Here’s a quick overview…
The webinar panel was led by Peter Kilcoyne, Managing Director at TeacherMatic. Peter was joined by members of the TeacherMatic team, including Generative AI Architect Richard Goddard, Technical Lead Oliver Stearn, and Marketing Director Esam Baboukhan. Each brought unique perspectives on how TeacherMatic’s tools are crafted to ease educators’ workloads.
Even more compelling stories were shared by guest speakers James Keith of Activate Learning and Monika Worthington of Bradford College — discussing how TeacherMatic is improving teacher induction and lesson planning.
Key highlights and updates from the webinar…
1. Expanding use and community-inspired updates
TeacherMatic’s growth is a testament to its value, with over 350 organisational accounts and 44,000+ active users across schools, colleges, and universities.
Now customers can access more than 100 AI-powered generators, each designed with direct input from educators to ensure they address real needs in the classroom.
“We’re here to reduce the overwhelming workloads teachers face, to give them more time for what truly matters.” – Peter Kilcoyne
2. T-level program support tools
The introduction of the T-Level Activities Generator was met with excitement. This generator offers teachers quick, curriculum-aligned activities for T-Level students, tackling both the academic demands and practical applications of the T-Level curriculum.
This generator allows teachers to design meaningful lessons — without hours of prep.
“We know T Levels are demanding, and this generator helps teachers bridge the gap between academic theory and practical learning.” – Richard Goddard
3. Reducing workloads and supporting educators’ needs
A recent report by Jisc revealed that TeacherMatic users are saving an average of two hours per week — time that can be re-invested into student interactions and lesson refinement.
Features like the Feedback Generator and Rubric Generator offer personalised feedback options that make grading efficient and clear.
“TeacherMatic gives teachers a collaborator, not a replacement, but a tool to make the workload manageable.” – Richard Goddard

4. Success stories from UK institutions
James from Activate Learning spoke about how TeacherMatic is playing an essential role in supporting new staff members, helping them to adapt to lesson planning and classroom techniques quickly:
“The induction programme, combined with TeacherMatic, is helping new teachers find their feet and gain confidence in planning lessons.”
Similarly, Monika of Bradford College shared that TeacherMatic has become an “integral part” of their toolkit, supporting teachers as they explore new methods and connect more directly with students:
“It’s exciting to see staff becoming confident in trying new teaching methods because TeacherMatic makes it so accessible and intuitive.”
5. New features coming soon: Google Classroom integration and data insights
TeacherMatic announced an upcoming Google Classroom integration, which will allow teachers to directly upload resources with ease. Additionally, a new Organisation Admin Dashboard will provide institution leaders with insights into generator usage, enabling them to identify and support specific professional development needs.
“We’re building tools that empower educational leaders to see what’s working for their teachers and where they can offer more support.” – Oliver Stearn
TeacherMatic remains committed to creating practical, effective tools for educators, continually developing new features based on community feedback and needs.
“All of the ideas for development support the new generators come from suggestions and ideas that we get from the organisations and individuals using TeacherMatic.” – Peter Kilcoyne
TeacherMatic’s development is an ongoing process, shaped by the insights of educators and institutions dedicated to supporting student success.
