About the company


 

We're here to 'help those who teach'. It's what brings us to work every day.

So what exactly is Twinkl? Some describe us as a Digital Publisher, others, as an Education Partner (we used to be called an EdTech start-up). To be honest, we’re all these things and much more too. But the description we’re most proud of is the one our members use - “Twinkl is a life-saver”.

We're all inspired to support teachers and learners, around the world.

Twinkl began life in 2010 as a husband and wife start-up, working from a tiny back bedroom. Today, Twinkl is a truly global business, with members in nearly every country in the world. Our positive impact is driven by a community of passionate Twinklees, all inspired by the same mission - to help those who teach.
