Give your students a life lesson with The Day’s Celebrity Teachers. Imagine names such as Andrew Marr or Jeremy Paxman chatting live to your students on your classroom whiteboard via Skype.

Ideal for engaging students across the curriculum and inspiring them about their future careers, this service offers a unique opportunity to bring great minds and household names right into your classroom, wherever in the world they may be.

Via live video link, your students will have 25 minutes to interview our Celebrity Teachers, quizzing them about their careers and personal beliefs and gaining an experience that stands out on a UCAS application or CV.
