That’s 61 days and £15,047 you should be keeping — not giving away. PPA Buddy helps you reclaim what’s yours.
But That’s Not All
You care deeply about your students. You want your teaching to be the best it can be. But you can’t keep giving when you’re running on empty.
It’s time to make a change, without losing your standards or your spark.
We support you in six core areas to help you stay in the job you love, without losing yourself in the process:
Teaching doesn’t have to mean burnout. PPA Buddy helps you protect your time and energy so you can stay in the classroom sustainably.
Reclaim your evenings. Reconnect with your purpose.
From endless paperwork to pastoral demands, today’s teachers are asked to do more with less. We give you proven systems, AI-powered tools, and real teacher-tested strategies to help you work smarter—not longer.
Less firefighting. More flow.
Spend less time planning and more time teaching. PPA Buddy helps you generate high-quality, Ofsted-aligned resources in minutes, using intelligent prompts that adapt to your subject, key stage, and learner needs.
No more late-night Googling or Sunday scaries.
Your job matters—but so do your boundaries. Our support is designed to help you finish work on time, manage tasks without overwhelm, and build routines that protect your energy.
Because teachers deserve evenings too.
We don’t just hand you tools—we coach you on how to use them. Through email support, Q&As, and real-world advice from educators who’ve been where you are, we help you stay focused, calm, and confident in your role.
Guidance that grows with you.
You don’t have to do this alone. Join a growing community of teachers who are building healthier teaching careers together.
It’s the kind of staffroom we all deserve.
I know the Sunday scaries. I know the feeling of a to-do list that never ends. I know what it’s like to pour your heart into your students all day, only to spend your evenings buried in planning and marking.
That was me. As a teacher in the UK system, I was losing the passion that brought me to the classroom in the first place. I felt trapped in a relentless cycle of overwork, and I was close to becoming another statistic.
I knew there had to be a smarter way – a way to be a brilliant, effective teacher for my students without sacrificing my own health and my life outside of school. I started developing systems, leveraging technology, and creating strategies to protect my most valuable resources: my time and my energy.
PPA Buddy is the culmination of everything I learned. It’s the system I built to save my own career and reclaim my evenings.
Now, I want to share it with you.
Because you deserve to be a great teacher and have a life.
