Multi award-winning teacher turned rapper and viral social media sensation, Jacob Mitchell, aka MC Grammar, has over 14 years teaching experience. Despite leaving school with 1 GCSE, he discovered his passion for teaching and went on to win both National Teacher of the Year Award and London Teacher of the Year Award.
A positive role model who shows that education can be engaging and exciting, Jacob's unique approach of combining his two passions - teaching and music - fuels his mission to make learning memorable, inclusive and most importantly, FUN for every child.
Recently Jacob headlined Young Voices' 30 date nationwide arena tour with nearly 250k primary school children taking part. He was such a huge hit with parents, teachers and kids alike, that they've asked for him to come back again for next year's tour! He has also just completed his first solo nationwide tour & signed a 6 book publishing deal with Simon & Schuster.
Jacob has been kicking up a storm on social media, thanks to his incredible raps of popular children's books. With each post reaching and engaging millions of people, it's showing no sign of stopping! From Holly Willoughby and Michael Rosen, to Dawn French, Davina McCall and Dannii Minogue all sharing and liking his content, they're helping to showcase the power of mixing music with the magic of books.
You'll also recognise Jacob from ‘MC Grammar’s Wonder Raps’ and 'Rap Tales' on Sky Kids. Set to ear-worm tunes, MC Grammar’s fun comedic raps, help kids learn by stealth. The first series was released in October 2021, and before it aired the second series was already commissioned!
One of Jacob's proudest achievements is being the Global Ambassador for World Book Day and he has written three official songs for them. He’s reaching a global audience every day through YouTube, YouTube Kids and his own social media channels.
Jacob has worked as an educational consultant and created and sold many of his own resources to schools. These are currently supporting 500 schools across 12 countries, reaching thousands of kids every day.
Jacob’s been featured on Sky News, The Daily Mail, Capital FM, BBC News, Heart FM, BBC Radio, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Made for Mums, Talk Radio Europe, alongside This Morning, BBC Breakfast and The Ellen Show!
