Teachmate

Teachmate is an AI platform that gives UK teachers curriculum-aligned tools for planning lessons, making resources, writing reports and supporting pupils with SEND. It was previously known by the TeachMateAI name and still uses a Teachmate AI wordmark. What separates it from US-built teacher tools is its focus on English schools: national curriculum alignment, EHCP outcomes, report writing in a British register, and pricing and data agreements built for UK schools and trusts.

What is Teachmate used for?

Teachers use Teachmate to draft the planning and paperwork that fills evenings and weekends, from weekly lessons to end-of-year reports.

• Planning lessons and medium-term topic plans aligned to the curriculum
• Generating slideshows, worksheets and quizzes, then exporting them to Google Slides, Word or quizzing platforms
• Writing pupil reports with the Report Writer and matching your own style with Clone my Tone
• Drafting EHCP outcomes and differentiating texts for SEND pupils
• Asking Open Chat questions with web search or uploaded documents
• Managing licences, usage and logo branding across a school or trust

Who Teachmate is best for

Teachmate is aimed at primary and secondary teachers in England and the wider UK, SENCOs, and leaders in schools and multi-academy trusts who want a vetted, GDPR-aligned AI platform for staff. It also suits teachers who dread report season. Teachers outside the UK, especially those working to US state standards, will find US-focused platforms a closer fit.

Teachmate pricing

As of October 2026, Teachmate has a Free plan at £0 with access to its free tools, including the Medium Term Topic Planner, and no payment card needed. Pro costs £7.99 paid monthly, or £59.88 upfront for the first year on annual billing (the page shows a FIRSTYEAR code), renewing at £72.00 per year. Pro unlocks the full tool library, unlimited slideshows, worksheets and Open Chat, exports, the Report Writer and Clone my Tone. Whole School plans are billed annually by invoice or card, starting at £414.75 per year excluding VAT for five licences and scaling to 50 licences or a custom quote, with an admin dashboard, SSO, DPIA support and an INSET session.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free plan is limited to a set of free tools, so most workflows need Pro
• Curriculum alignment and terminology are UK-specific
• Generated reports and EHCP text must be checked carefully, since they become official records
• Annual Pro pricing rises after the first year

Teachmate vs alternatives

ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini can draft lesson plans and reports from a good prompt, and Copilot may already be licensed through a school's Microsoft 365 agreement, but none comes preloaded with UK curriculum tools or EHCP templates. MagicSlides is the narrower choice if you mainly need slides. Teachmate wins for UK schools that want a single platform built around their curriculum, reporting cycle and data protection requirements.

Tips for getting started with Teachmate

Try the free Medium Term Topic Planner first to see how well it maps to your scheme of work. If you upgrade, set up Clone my Tone with a few reports you have written before so drafts sound like you. Use the SEND tools as a starting point and edit against the pupil's actual plan. School leaders should request the DPA and DPIA support before rolling out.
