Teacher Matt Green hits 200,000 TikTok followers as his GCSE raps go viral

A science teacher has found an unusual way to get his pupils to remember his lessons - by turning them into incredible raps. Matt Green, 33, has been teaching for ten years and now boasts more than 200,000 followers on TikTok, where he posts new raps for the GCSE science syllabus.

Having dabbled with rapping while studying at the University of Kent, he started with short raps while he was a teacher. Covering topics from electrodes and plug wiring to genes and photosynthesis, kids recite his raps in exams to help their memory.

Since posting new content on TikTok he's gone viral, with kids regularly posting they know his songs word for word and use them to help in exams. A former full-time teacher, Matt left his state school job last year and now runs a tutoring business with 70 people.
