AI Teacher Assistant Launches

MyTeacherAide, an AI-powered tool purpose-built to help with the workload teachers endure is going into pilot mode in two months.

MyTeacherAide boasts features such as automated lesson planning and curriculum alignment, and it’s built from the perspective of Australia’s education professionals. 

It is the brainchild of two Tasmanian high school teachers, Paul Matthews and Jacob Skierka. By leveraging advanced AI, the pair claim that “teachers can finally have reprieve from their excessive workload, enabling them to reclaim their work-life balance.”

It won’t be news to people in the profession but 84% of Australian teachers have considered leaving their profession in the last year, 75% of teachers feel stressed, 82% struggle with their work-life balance, and an overwhelming 49% are dissatisfied with their remuneration. 

“No one gets into teaching to spend all their time sending emails and writing lesson plans. MyTeacherAide allows teachers to spend more time doing the very things they entered into the profession to do,” Paul Matthews, Co-Founder and CEO says. 

“We’re ready to bring a sea of change in education and help teachers reconnect with the joy of teaching.” 

The pilot program begins in September, and teachers nationwide are encouraged to participate. Selected educators will gain free early access to the full range of features, along with an exclusive invite to weekly webinars led by the founders. 

As an early adopter, participants will have the opportunity to play a critical role in shaping the future of MyTeacherAide.
