Posting times

Best time to post, for teachers and tutors.

Term time and holidays are two different accounts. Within term, the reliable windows are early evening, when students are doing homework and parents are available, and Sunday evening, which is when the coming week becomes real to everybody.

Early evening in term time

Homework is happening and parents are available at the same moment, which is the only hour both halves of this audience are there.

How this audience spends its day, not hours read from anybody's account.

The shape of the week

When teachers and tutors are actually reachable.

Homework is happening and parents are available at the same moment, which is the only hour both halves of this audience are there.

Sunday evening

When the coming week becomes real to students and parents alike. The single strongest window in this niche.

Term against holidays

Two different accounts. A schedule that works in November reaches nobody in August, and that is worth planning for rather than discovering.

The hours every guide repeats describe everybody, not teachers and tutors, and we have not checked them against any account. They are on the posting times guide.

Find your own hours

Three tests for a education account.

Run each one for two weeks and change one thing at a time. The number to compare is named beside each test, because likes alone will tell you the wrong story.

1Post planning content on Sunday evening instead of weekday afternoons.Compare: Saves and shares among other teachers.
2Publish exam season resources two weeks earlier than usual.Compare: Saves per account reached.
3Swap a text image for a short reel of the same activity.Compare: Average watch time.

The number worth watching here: saves and shares. Educational posts get saved by the person who needs them and shared with the person who also needs them, and that pair is how a teaching account grows. A like means somebody agreed; a save means somebody intends to use it.

In Synclify

Your own hours beat any average.

Connect an account and the guessing stops. Synclify reads 90 days of your own audience's hours, day by hour, in your account's timezone, and a week's plan schedules into them.

Read from your posts and your followers' activity, per account, never from an industry average.
