What is Audiopi?
Audiopi is a GCSE and A Level podcast tutorial service, aimed at providing universal access to superb teachers. We create and deliver outstanding, highly immersive podcasts, written by experts - for use at home, on the go, or at school. Curricula aligned and exam board approved, our podcasts help teachers and students get results - generating interest, excitement and engagement in topics, reinforcing learning, deepening understanding, enabling own pace study, and ultimately supporting better recall and revision.
Recommended Usage
Not specifically, though focussing student listening to the podcasts relevant to lesson plans amplifies the impact and benefit of each taught lesson. Each podcast series is created to exam board specification to give students exactly what they need to understand their subject. Individual podcasts are around 15 minutes long, are highly accessible, and designed to maximise engagement & focus, and are complete tutorials on key themes. Teachers licensing specific subjects/topics, can directly guide podcast tutorial usage to support their lesson plans & progress through a subject/topic. Our podcasts improve subject engagement, knowledge foundations, deepen understanding, and encourage critical thinking. It's good practice to use our podcasts to prep for, and then reinforce, lessons. We can also guide homework, fast-track periodic recall, and revision very easily - with selection of the appropriate podcast from each topic.

Detailed, concise, easy to access and empowers pupils to take ownership of their own learning.

I was an audio learner myself as a student, except in those days my father had to source lectures on my core texts on tape from publishers. He found many of the core texts on audio, but rarely found analytical material. Now this fills a gap long needed by audio learners. Horaay!
Elizabeth Tunnicliffe found Audiopi:
- Moderately improves attainment“We have enjoyed fantastic results for GCSE Literature since using AudioPi as a revision tool.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“Often, the lecturers will have the very knowledge that a tired teacher could spend hours researching online. Here, you can at the click of a button, hear experts giving all the background context needed. For example, the Gothic features of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde were clearly explained in ways my weaker learners could understand.”
- Does not significantly increase student collaboration“Careful listening and pausing to replay is a personal activity.”
- Slightly reduces attainment gap“What attainment gap?”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“The comparisons of the poems are really helpful. The lecturers often see links between poems that we cannot see while writing the lesson the night before a class. It is a Godsend to the overworked teacher whose brain is not supplying the answers readily.”

Audiopi is an excellent resource for students, offering high level discussions and detailed comments about the texts studied.

- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It has made setting homework much easier and reduces the need for constant review lessons.”
