Why Universities, Colleges and Schools Are Choosing TeacherMatic

Introduction: AI that actually saves teachers time

Teachers everywhere are asking the same question: how can we keep up with growing demands without burning out. Lesson planning, marking, assessments and endless admin often spill into evenings and weekends, leaving little time for rest or creativity.

AI is often positioned as the solution, but for many educators it feels like just another hurdle. Tools like ChatGPT or Copilot present a blank screen, requiring complex “prompt engineering” to get usable results. For busy teachers, that is not practical.

This is where TeacherMatic comes in. Built by educators for educators, TeacherMatic removes the barriers that make AI intimidating and replaces them with simple, secure, role-specific tools. It is already helping universities, colleges and schools save hours each week, improve teaching and learning and support staff wellbeing.

The recent webinar “Why Universities, Colleges and Schools are Choosing TeacherMatic” showcased exactly how. And the good news is, you can now watch the on-demand recording to see the demonstrations and hear directly from the founders.

From prototype to sector impact

TeacherMatic’s journey began just a few years ago.

It started with 18 AI generators designed for teachers.
Early prototypes were tested with 50 teachers, improved through feedback, then rolled out to 350 educators for further refinement.
Every new tool and feature since has been developed through co-design with educators, ensuring the platform meets real needs.

Fast forward to today.

TeacherMatic offers 150+ generators covering teaching, leadership, admin, quality and more.
It is used by 300+ organisations and 60,000+ educators worldwide.
Adoption spans schools, colleges and universities, including 50+ colleges in North Carolina.

This growth is driven by one principle. Listen to educators, build what they need and continuously improve.

Meet the team behind TeacherMatic

TeacherMatic is not the product of a tech start-up looking to break into education. It was created by a team of educators with decades of experience.

Peter Kilcoyne, Managing Director. A career spanning since 1986 in further and higher education, supporting digital innovation.
Esam Baboukhan, Marketing Director. Over 20 years in the classroom as lecturer, advanced practitioner and e-learning manager.

Both know the day-to-day reality of teaching. They have spent years supporting colleagues with learning technologies, and they saw first-hand the opportunity AI could offer. But they also recognised the risks: complexity, inconsistency and data security.

Their vision was simple. Create a platform that saves teachers time, supports wellbeing and ensures safe, compliant use of AI. TeacherMatic is the result.
