Questions, answered plainly.

EdCircles is a marketplace that connects teachers, students, and schools with verified education consultants. It is organised into three circles: The Staffroom for teacher training and careers, The Classroom for student support, and The Library for whole-school training. Every consultant is verified before they take a single booking.

All three. Teachers come for career guidance, CPD, and coaching. Students come for career counselling, subject support, and exam preparation. Schools come for whole-school training, from inspection prep to our in-service CPD programmes. The homepage pie is the shortcut: pick your slice and everything relevant is in one place.

Start with the CPD Catalogue page, pick a programme or a format, and use the form at the bottom of that page or the contact page to start the conversation. We then agree audience, format, and departments with you, tailor every session to your syllabus, and confirm dates. A Twilight Session is the lowest-commitment way to see the method in action.

Nobody lists on EdCircles unverified. Before a consultant joins, we check who they are, what they have taught or examined, and where. We only bring on people whose experience we can stand behind: practising teachers, examiners, and school leaders. If we would not book them for our own school, they do not join.

We collect the minimum we need: a name, an email address, and whatever you choose to tell us in a message. We do not sell or share your details. Sessions run over standard video-call tools rather than a platform of our own, and a full privacy policy will be published on this site before anything more is ever collected.

Browsing, joining a waitlist, and talking to us cost nothing. Individual services are priced separately, and you will always know the price before you commit to a booking. CPD programmes are quoted per school after a short conversation, because audience size and format change the shape of the work.

Right now, consultants join by application rather than open sign-up, because verification comes first. If you would like to offer your expertise through EdCircles, use the contact page and tell us about your background. We will talk, verify, and then build your listing with you.

The Library is the school-facing circle: services and resources a school can pick off the shelf, from lesson plans to inspection prep. The CPD Catalogue is the flagship offering inside it: three structured in-service programmes we facilitate in your school, on your PD days, with your staff building artefacts the school keeps. The Library is the shelf; CPD is the programme we run in the hall.

Yes. Almost everything on EdCircles runs over video call, so location rarely matters, and our consultants have worked across Gulf, UK, Indian, and international school systems. For in-person delivery, such as a whole-staff PD day, get in touch and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your location.

Use the contact page, or the form at the bottom of the CPD Catalogue, and describe what you need in plain terms. Custom requests are normal here: most school work starts as a conversation rather than a product off the page. And if we cannot help, we will say so quickly.
