With the end of the academic year on the horizon, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to work with all students over the last year.
For those still working away and prepping for the final batch of exams, my fingers are well and truly crossed that all goes well๐ค๐ป
It's hard to believe, but I've been able to support more than 5,000 students from all over NI doing this job. Thank you to everyone, past and present, for playing part in something so incredibly special to me. This journey continues fill me with much hope for our shared futures.
Thank you to all who have placed their trust in myself to help. There are a thousand other options out there and without your unwavering support, this business would not survive.
I'm opening my diary for those who want to come onboard for the new term in September. You can register your interest here: www.mjtutors.com/join.
Here's to an ever bigger and better 2026-27!

Weโre now officially into the final 10 days of classes for the 2025/26 academic year with my final day of classes on ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ณ๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ณ
At this stage every lesson matters.
The students making the biggest improvements right now arenโt necessarily the โnaturally giftedโ onesโฆtheyโre the ones still showing up, still asking questions and still putting the work in when others are beginning to switch off.
That final push can make a massive difference come results day.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has already reached out regarding next yearโs tuition. The response this year has been genuinely incredible.
A lot of September spaces are already beginning to fill and Iโll be confirming timetables and replying to enquiries over the next week or so.
Every year I have to turn away families who leave it until August/September to ask about availability, so if tutoring is something youโre considering for next year I honestly wouldnโt leave it too long.
Iโll be working with a limited number of GCSE & A-Level Maths and Physics students again this year, with priority continuing to go to existing students first.

I feel as though I've learned a lot this year ๐ญ
After almost a decade and having worked with more than 5,000 kids across the country, I can confidently say that success at GCSE and A-Level is rarely about โnatural talentโ.
It almost always comes down to consistency, confidence, structure, and having someone who can guide the process properly.
Iโve worked with students this year who started out completely overwhelmed by Maths or Physics. They were convinced they โjust werenโt good at itโ.
And yet over time those same students began asking better questions, thinking more clearly, gained confidence and produced results they genuinely didnโt think were possible months earlier. That transformation is probably the most rewarding part of what I do.
This year has also shown me how much pressure young people are under. The pressure to perform. The pressure to keep up. The pressure to have everything figured out at 15, 16, 17 years old.
Sometimes students donโt just need equations explained. Sometimes they need reassurance, structure, perspective, and someone calm in their corner. And I think that matters more than ever.
To all the students and parents who trusted me this year, thank you genuinely. I know families make sacrifices to invest in tutoring and I never take that lightly.
As we head toward the end of the academic year, Iโm already looking ahead to September and thinking carefully about how to make next year even better again because progress breeds progress.

Let's talk exam revision.
Not the kind that happens the week before. The kind thatโs built properly over time with structure, accountability and a clear plan.
Every year I see the same thing, students working hardโฆbut struggling to move the needle.
It's not because theyโre not capable, but because they donโt actually know how to revise effectively and thatโs where the difference is made.
I work with students every year, helping them turn effort into results.
๐ The goal isnโt just โmore revisionโ, itโs better revision.

September 2026 places will be locked in shortly.
Priority goes to existing students, with a limited number of new places available.

๐ช๐ป Students who wish to continue in September 2026, youโve been invited to register to be guaranteed a space. As many of you know, most slots book out in advance of the new term. For those who have already notified me, Iโll be in touch before the end of the month to lock you in.
๐งโ๐ For students progressing to Y13, I would highly recommend checking out the fantastic opportunities through the Sentinus NI STEM programme: www.sentinus.co.uk/programmes/sentinus-research-academy/. These are real-world research placements offering pupils a proper gem to include in their UCAS personal statements and CVs.

If your house is anything like mine right now then itโs a mix of past papers, panic and โwhy didnโt I start this earlierโ ๐
Weโve got just a few weeks left before my final day of classes on ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ณ๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐ and this is where the most impactful work happens.
