FAQ
  • Q. What is YouTeachMeToo?
  • A. YouTeachMeToo is a video-sharing system that can help every family learn. All video content is created by teachers and other education professionals for use in their lessons and by families at home. Parents can create logins for every child in their family, then select and share just the right videos to help each child learn. Parental subscriptions fund teachers to work with UK schools to create more teaching videos sharing what and how they teach.

  • Q. Are the videos made by the teacher themselves?
  • A. Often, but not always. Every video you see in a teacher's account has been uploaded by that teacher. However, they may have worked with a colleague or friend to create the video before uploading it into their account. Therefore, you will hear female voices in the videos of male teachers and vice versa.
