Our story

Lesson planning that respects teachers' time

LP-Companion was built because great teaching shouldn't be buried under paperwork. We make the planning part fast, structured, and collaborative — so teachers can focus on what matters.

Why we built this

Indian schools are full of dedicated teachers who spend hours each week creating lesson plans in Word documents, shared drives, and WhatsApp groups — with no structure, no version control, and no way for admins to review them efficiently.

LP-Companion changes that. Every lesson is structured around the 5E model — a proven instructional framework that guides teachers through Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate phases. Admins and subject heads can review and approve plans digitally. PDFs export in one click.

Individual teachers who aren't part of a school can use LP-Companion too — with a simple subscription that costs less than ₹10 a week per subject.

Built for India

Designed from the ground up for Indian classrooms — curriculum structures, school hierarchies, and affordable pricing in ₹.

5E Instructional Model

Every lesson is structured around Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate — the research-backed framework used by educators worldwide.

Works for Everyone

Whether you teach independently or are part of a 500-teacher school, LP-Companion scales with you. Individual plans, school-wide approvals.

No Paperwork

One-click PDF export, digital approval workflows, and an audit trail mean no more printed registers or email chains.

What is the 5E model?

The 5E Instructional Model is a constructivist learning framework developed by BSCS (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study). It's widely used across subjects and age groups.

Engage

Hook the learners and surface prior knowledge

Explore

Students investigate and discover through activities

Explain

Introduce concepts and clarify understanding

Elaborate

Apply and extend learning to new contexts

Evaluate

Assess understanding and reflect on learning

Who is behind LP-Companion?

LP-Companion is a product of Virora International Pvt Ltd — built by educators and developers who wanted a more structured, collaborative approach to lesson planning in schools.

Why the 5E model specifically?

The 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) is grounded in constructivist learning theory and widely validated in classroom research. It gives every teacher a consistent, purposeful framework instead of a blank page.

Is LP-Companion only for Indian schools?

The 5E framework is universal. Our current institutional customers are primarily in India, but individual teachers from any country are welcome to sign up and use the platform.

Can schools use their own branding?

Yes. Each school's lesson previews and PDF exports automatically include the school name, logo, and address — so every printout looks professional and on-brand.

How is lesson quality ensured?

LP-Companion has a built-in approval workflow. Teachers submit lessons, which go to subject heads or administrators for review. Reviewers can approve, request revisions with comments, or observe classes and record feedback directly against each lesson plan.
