About Musa
As a fully qualified secondary English teacher (PGCE, QTS, CELTA), I love helping students find their voice and build real academic confidence. English and Drama build the critical thinking and communication skills that shape a young person's future, but fast-paced classrooms can make complex texts and rigid mark schemes feel overwhelming. I teach to bridge that gap—turning exam anxiety into genuine self-belief.
Outside the classroom, you’ll usually find me watching theatre or following football as a die-hard Arsenal fan. Whether we are unpicking Shakespeare, breaking down a GCSE Drama script, or mastering essay technique, my goal is to create a supportive, high-energy space where students enjoy learning and achieve their absolute best.

How I Teach
As a qualified secondary teacher, I align every lesson directly with the UK National Curriculum and major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR). I break down complex texts and essay structures into simple, step-by-step frameworks so students know exactly how to secure top marks.
My approach focuses on:
-Text & Play Analysis: Unlocking Shakespeare, 19th-century novels, modern poetry, and GCSE Drama set texts.
-Proven Essay Techniques: Mastering structural frameworks (PEEL/PETAL) and decoding examiner mark schemes.
-Targeted Practice & Feedback: Moving from guided model answers to independent writing with live, constructive feedback.
Qualifications & Experience
-PGCE & QTS: Fully qualified secondary teacher with direct classroom experience across KS3/KS4 English and GCSE Drama.
-CELTA Certified: Specialist in clear communication, structured learning, and EAL support.
Who These Lessons Are For
-KS3 (Years 7–9): Building core confidence in analytical writing, reading comprehension, and drama.
-GCSE / KS4 (Years 10–11): Targeted prep for GCSE English Language, English Literature, and GCSE Drama (Grade 4 recovery up to Grade 8/9 push).

Musa is an engaging teacher who can foster positive relationships with young people quickly and motivate them learn.
Musa helped my son prepare for his GCSE English exam and gave him such a great amount of confidence in his exams.
My son got a better result than he thought he would get! Couldn’t recommend Musa enough, calm patient, encouraging and brilliant at breaking down what seem like massive essay questions into manageable steps. Just a shame he’s an Arsenal fan!Musa is an experienced and engaging tutor. He’s also really fun! I can’t recommend him enough
