Technology in the classroom is rapidly evolving, and MyTeacherAide is leading the charge with their groundbreaking AI-powered tool for teachers. This Hobart-based educational technology startup, co-founded by Tasmanian teachers Paul Matthews and Jacob Skierka, is revolutionizing the way educators are able to save time, encourage creativity, and improve student outcomes.
Already, hundreds of teachers have begun exploring the platform’s capabilities and the potential it brings to transform the educational experience. MyTeacherAide has created five dynamic tools – Lesson Planner, Curriculum Expert, Quiz Generator, Rubric Generator, and Text Differentiator – each designed to help alleviate the stress of teaching by reducing workloads and revitalizing work-life balance.
Co-founder & CEO of MyTeacherAide, Paul Matthews, said: “As teachers, it’s essential to realise that AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to help us. I talk to teachers daily who struggle to keep their heads above water. It’s wild that 70% of teachers say their workload is unmanageable… As teachers, we need all the help we can get, so we built MyTeacherAide.”
The platform utilizes the latest version of the Australian Curriculum (AC9) and cutting-edge artificial intelligence to provide personalized learning experiences with the click of a button. As part of their pilot programme, MyTeacherAide is offering teachers a 10-day free trial to give them first-hand experience of its transformative potential, and it’s already proving popular with educators across the country.
Isaac Smith, Grade 5/6 Teacher and curriculum Lead from Hobart, commented: “The excitement is already palpable: The learning needs in my class are more diverse than ever. MyTeacherAide will help me ensure every student gets what they need to learn. I love my students, and I’m grateful for anything that will help me make learning more accessible to them.”
The launch of MyTeacherAide marks a significant milestone for the company and a major advancement in educational technology. Not only is the platform helping to address common teaching challenges and improve student outcomes, but Paul Matthews has plans for overseas expansion, with 40 people already signed up for a similar programme in North America in 2024, as well as another 40 in India and the UAE.
If you’re an educator looking for new ways to maximize efficiency and create personalized learning opportunities for your students, then MyTeacherAide is definitely worth exploring. The team at MyTeacherAide are passionate about helping teachers around the world, and this platform could be the solution you need to make teaching easier and more rewarding.
