About MJ

I am a fully qualified English teacher (PGCE – Merit, University of Sussex) and current Head of Year with extensive experience teaching and leading KS3 and GCSE English. Previously a KS3 English Coordinator, I designed engaging schemes of work and have had a significant positive impact on SEND and disadvantaged students, supporting their confidence, literacy, and academic progress.

My particular strength is helping students who find English challenging achieve a Grade 4 or above. I use a structured, step-by-step approach, breaking down exam requirements into clear, manageable strategies. Lessons focus on modelling strong paragraph structures, guided writing practice, retrieval exercises, and targeted, actionable feedback. I combine pastoral care with high academic expectations to build confidence, motivation, and independence.

My lessons are suitable for:
KS3 students needing literacy and confidence support
GCSE English Language and Literature students
Students targeting Grade 4+ or those who have previously underperformed
Those needing clarity, structure, and confidence in reading, writing, or exam technique

Lesson structure and methodology:
60-minute sessions (longer 90-minute sessions for exam-year students available)
Feedback always given
