MicroCoach

MicroCoach — Rehearsal Aid for Educators MicroCoach helps adult educators practise and improve their teaching before it counts. Whether you're preparing for a microteaching assessment, a corporate training session, or a live facilitated workshop, MicroCoach gives you a structured space to rehearse, review, and reflect — all on your device, with no account required. Plan your session Build a timed session plan with individual segments, learning outcomes, and cut-lines — notes to yourself about what to drop if you're running over. Flip through your plan as cue cards during rehearsal, or keep it in the background while you present. Rehearse with video Record yourself delivering your session. MicroCoach tracks time against your planned segments in real time, flagging when you're approaching a limit and marking overruns. After the rehearsal, your recording is synced to a timeline of comments you — or a peer — added during the session. Review your delivery Play back your rehearsal and jump to any moment flagged with a comment. Add timestamped observations, tag them to rubric criteria, and mark them as strengths or areas to improve. Rate yourself against a structured rubric — not as a grade, but as a starting point for reflection. Peer and facilitator feedback Hand your phone to a classmate or facilitator during or after your rehearsal. They add anonymous comments tied to moments in your session, then hand it back. Your peer rounds are kept separate from your own notes so you can compare perspectives. Reflect with AI coaching After a rehearsal, open the reflection journal. MicroCoach surfaces coaching questions to help you think through what happened — what landed, what didn't, and what you'd do differently. On iPhone 16 and later with iOS 26, this is powered entirely on-device by Apple Intelligence. On other devices, an optional Gemini-powered analysis can be requested — you choose when to send data, and nothing is transmitted automatically. Plan quality check Before you rehearse, tap "Check plan quality" to get AI feedback on your session structure — whether your learning outcome is observable, whether your timing is realistic, and whether your segments build toward your goal. Assessment Day mode When it's time for the real thing, Assessment Day mode runs your session plan with full segment timing but without recording. Use it in your actual assessment or live delivery to stay on track without the overhead of video capture. Question bank Browse and favourite a library of questioning techniques — open, closed, clarifying, challenging, and reflective questions. Use them to build better learner interaction into your plans, or pull them up during reflection. Track your progress The Progress tab shows how your rehearsals compare over time — session length, talk time split between you and learners, overrun patterns, and plan completion rates across multiple rehearsal plans. Privacy by design Everything is stored on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads. Your plans, recordings, comments, and reflections never leave your phone unless you explicitly export them. AI features are opt-in and clearly labelled. MicroCoach does not assess or grade your teaching — it is a rehearsal aid, not an evaluation tool. MicroCoach is built for trainers, lecturers, facilitators, and anyone who takes their teaching seriously enough to practise it.
