The Problem We Set Out to Solve

Across the UK, young people are being left behind in personal, social, health, and economic (PSHE) education.

Vaping rates are climbing. Mental health referrals are at record levels. Online harm, gender norms, and a more polarised world are shaping how young people think and see themselves. The problems are getting worse, and the education system's response hasn't kept pace.

Most schools are overwhelmed and stretched thin, trying to meet compliance requirements and keep the basics running. PSHE gets squeezed into form time, delivered by non-specialists, using worksheets and slide decks that do the bare minimum but don’t actually change anything. The students who need this education the most are the ones least likely to engage with it.

Our founder, Oliver, knows this firsthand. He vaped and struggled with his mental health at school. He has dyslexia and can't recall ever listening to a single personal development lesson. Not because he didn't need it, but because it wasn't built for how he learned. It didn’t feel relevant, it wasn't engaging, and it wasn't going to count towards his GCSEs, so he switched off. Thousands of young people are doing exactly the same thing right now.

That's why he started Beat Modules. And it's why we focus first on the learners that mainstream resources consistently fail: students with special educational needs, those in alternative provision, and young people with complex needs who don't respond to traditional classroom formats. These are the students most affected by vaping, poor mental health, and online harm, and the least well served by what currently exists. If we can build something that works for them, it will work for everyone.

Our Belief

Young people aren't switching off in personal development education because they don't care. They switch off because the way it's taught wasn't built to engage them. We believe if you want healthier, happier schools with fewer behavioural incidents, you have to earn students' attention first in PSHE. When education is built to engage, not just inform, young people don't just listen. They absorb and start to change.

Meet the Founders

  • Co-founder and CEO: Oliver holds a Master's in Biomedical Science and Translational Medicine, with a specialism in complex diseases. Before founding Beat Modules, he worked in GCSE tutoring, public health, and science education.

    As a learner with dyslexia who struggled to engage in school, he experienced firsthand what happens when education isn't designed for how you think. That lived experience drives everything Beat Modules builds. Oliver takes a research-led approach to ensure the platform delivers rigorous, non-preachy education and is built for learners that traditional formats leave behind.

  • Co-Founder and COO: Sam is a biomedical scientist who grew up in L8, one of Liverpool's most socioeconomically deprived communities. He saw the health inequalities, addiction, and educational disadvantage affecting the people around him long before he studied the science behind them.

    That background shaped his belief that education is the most effective intervention there is, but only when it actually reaches the people who need it. At Beat Modules, Sam leads Marketing, operations, and educational content, making sure every module is built to engage young people facing the kinds of challenges he witnessed his community face growing up. His focus is on ensuring the education isn't just well-researched but genuinely effective in the real world.


Our Mission

Every young person deserves personal development education they can engage with and absorb, regardless of how they learn. We're building a digital platform that shifts attitudes, strengthens decision-making, and equips young people with real tools for real situations. For teachers, it means the confidence to deliver complex topics without the prep time or the stress, and classrooms that are happier and healthier because of it.
