About us

Our mission

We’re here for teachers. To support, inspire and help you and your students to thrive. 
 

How we help teachers

We know how challenging teaching can be – we’ve been there. Teachit was founded over two decades ago by a hard-working teacher who wanted to save colleagues time, and supporting teachers remains at the heart of everything we do. 

We've always published resources written and generously shared with us by experienced educators, subject experts and thought-leaders, and our publishing team are all former teachers too. 

In a job with many demands, we’re here to save you time with high-quality classroom resources and engaging teaching ideas so you can create amazing lessons for your learners. We know our worksheets and lesson activities will work in your classroom because they are teacher-made and checked by experienced subject specialists.  

Whether you are a newly-qualified teacher, a department head or a school leader, we help teachers to share their expertise, stay up-to-date with the latest educational research and become better educators.

Our story

Teachit started life in 1999, when English teacher Siobhain Archer started making and sharing online resources from her tiny spare room in Bath with her co-founder husband, Garry. In 2014, as part of AQA, we expanded rapidly to support more teachers and in 2020 we joined Sandbox Learning, reaching out internationally to a global audience of millions of teachers, learners and parents. 

Since those humble beginnings over 20 years ago, we’ve shared nearly 30 million downloadable resources with hard-working educators in more than 50 countries, but our purpose remains the same – to save teachers time, to support and engage learners and to change lives for the better.
