What is Teachit English?

Teachit English is a tried and trusted education resource used by thousands of teachers. Specialising in English, Drama and Media Studies from 11-18, the Teachit English libraries offer thousands of pages of materials, all created by classroom teachers and constantly growing.

Teachit English is by teachers for teachers

We believe that the best resources are created at the chalkface. We also believe in paying you for the fruits of your labours. That's why we share our revenues with all the fantastic teachers who fill up the libraries by sending us their excellent materials.

The life of a Teachit English resource

1. A resource is contributed to the site by a fab teacher.
2. Once selected for publication, the resource is edited by the team.
3. It's then given a mini makeover.
4. The resource is published in a range of photocopiable, adaptable and digital formats.

Our subscriptions

Teachit.plus and Teachit.works subscriptions offer adaptable MS Office versions of materials, PowerPoints, whiteboard resources, interactive games and activities, as well as My Teachit, for selecting, storing and sharing your favourite resources. 

"Teachit membership really is invaluable for every English teacher. We don't have time to re-invent the wheel and having all these resources to tweak and adjust for our classes is fantastic."

Where Teachit English started

Founded by English teacher Siobhain Archer in 1999 as a spare-time addition to her teaching workload, the online library of learning resources rapidly gathered its own momentum as colleagues discovered the value of sharing their teaching materials.

Teachit English and AQA

In April 2011 Teachit English became part of the AQA family with the aim of supporting teachers and learners to realise their potential. Teachit English remains editorially independent and is committed to publishing high quality resources, regardless of awarding body.

"Teachit is not just a time-saver – it's sometimes a life-saver! For busy teachers looking for a resource to supplement a scheme of work or extend more able pupils, Teachit provides a searchable and sometimes inspiring database of lesson ideas, worksheets, interactives and support. And when you've actually got a few minutes to browse the site properly, you can find a real gem to use directly or adapt for your own pupils. I wouldn't want to be without it. "
