I'm not a teacher - but I'm surrounded by them. I kept watching the teachers in my life lose their evenings and weekends to the same invisible work: building slides, writing worksheets, making a knowledge organiser, then doing it all again for the next lesson and the one after that. The teaching wasn't the hard part. The endless prep around it was.
It struck me that almost none of that work was unique. A great lesson on the water cycle, or fronted adverbials, or the Norman Conquest, gets rebuilt from scratch by thousands of teachers every year. That's millions of hours spent remaking things that already exist - hours that could go back to students, to marking that actually matters, or to having an evening off.
So we built LessonHQ: type your topic and year group, and in about a minute you get a full, editable, standards-aligned pack - slides, a lesson plan, a worksheet, a study guide and more. Not a locked library you scroll through hoping something fits, but a resource built for exactly what you're teaching, that you can then make your own.
The goal has never changed: give teachers their time back, and treat their professional judgement as the thing that matters most.
- Aaron, Founder
When you enter a topic, LessonHQ generates the pack with AI that we've prompted and structured around sound teaching practice - clear learning objectives, retrieval and modelling, scaffolded tasks, and vocabulary pitched to the year group. Everything is generated to match US state standards.
We're deliberately transparent about this: the output is a strong, coherent first draft, not a claim of human-authored perfection. That's exactly why we make every part editable - you bring the professional judgement, local context and knowledge of your class that no generator can. Many teachers generate a pack in seconds, then spend a few minutes tailoring it, and still save the best part of an hour.
Images are sourced from licensed, resale-safe libraries with proper attribution, so packs you keep - or sell in our marketplace - are yours to use with confidence.
