Welcome to Ms Johnson Says…, a calm corner of the internet dedicated to meaningful, confidence-building learning — wherever that learning happens.

Whether you’re a home educator looking for structured resources, an unschooling family seeking ideas for interest-led and nature-based learning, or somewhere in between, you’ll find something here designed to make learning feel easier and more intentional.

Here you’ll find clear, practical resources and ready-to-use lesson ideas designed for students who thrive with a peaceful, self-paced approach. Everything is simple to follow, fully independent, and thoughtfully created — no visual clutter, no overwhelm. Just straightforward, high-quality materials that help learners focus and grow at their own rhythm.

If you’re home educating or exploring more flexible approaches like interest-led or semi-unschooled learning, you’ll find plenty here too. These resources encourage autonomy, curiosity, and genuine understanding, giving young people structure without pressure and guidance without rigidity.

If you’re exploring unschooling or nature-led learning, you’ll also find resources shaped by a blend of child-centred philosophies. Many activities lean into Reggio Emilia-style curiosity, hands-on exploration, and open-ended learning, while others echo Charlotte Mason’s appreciation for nature, gentle routines, and real living ideas. These materials are designed to support a rich, meaningful learning life — one that grows from a young person’s interests, their environment, and their natural sense of wonder.

For those who want to follow a structured pathway through education, I offer materials for:

• English for 11-14 year olds (KS3)  - Language & Literature
• English for 14 -16 year olds (KS4)  - Language & Literature
• Unit Studies - Interest-led with an English focus and links to other subjects
• GCSE English Language
• GCSE English Literature
• GCSE Sociology
• GCSE Psychology
  

All shaped by over 13 years of classroom teaching, one-to-one tutoring, and a growing passion for alternative, human-centred ways of learning.

I believe learning should feel manageable, engaging, and rooted in real life — not rushed, stressful, or overly complicated. So grab a cuppa, explore the sections that fit your world, and let’s make learning more joyful, more intentional, and a lot more you.
