About The Teaching Couple
Hello! We're a husband and wife team with a shared passion for education. Both full-time teachers, we built The Teaching Couple to share the resources, articles, and tools we wished we'd had when we started out.
Over four years we've grown to thousands of teachers across the UK and US — covering everything from curriculum planning to classroom management to subject-specific strategies. Everything we publish is the work we actually use in our own classrooms.
