Ms Johnson Says...
Welcome to Ms Johnson Says…, where you’ll find clear, practical teaching resources and ready-to-use lesson ideas — created for calm, confident learning.
These lessons are designed for anyone who values a peaceful, self-paced approach. They are simple to follow, fully independent, and thoughtfully designed — no flashy images, harsh fonts, or sensory overload. Just straightforward, high-quality materials that allow students to focus and learn at their own rhythm.
If you are home educating, you will find resources that encourage autonomy and curiosity — helping young people take ownership of their learning while still feeling guided and supported. Each lesson is structured for clarity, reflection, and real understanding.
Whether you’re home educating or supporting independent study, you’ll find resources for English Language & Literature for ages 11–14 (KS3) and GCSE English Language & GCSE English Literature for 14–16 (KS4), GCSE Sociology, and GCSE Psychology — all created from over 13 years of classroom experience.
I believe learning should be engaging, manageable, and rooted in real life. So grab a cuppa, choose your section, and let’s make teaching more effective and enjoyable.
