Great energy and environment in class and always made me feel welcome! Gave me a spark for writing I didn’t think was possible, and gave me consistent practice and tips that have left me more than prepared for my exams!
Sarah’s a lovely human being and every English student should get to have a teacher like her once.
The course is highly beneficial, with a well-planned schedule tailored specifically for the exam. There are also a variety of study materials and resources available outside of online classes.
These classes genuinely helped me so much! So well organised, and the extra resources provided such as authors intents, quote banks, or main techniques really helped make the essay writing process easier. And of course Miss O’Rourke is an amazing teacher and paid so much attention to small details which really elevated my understanding of the texts we studied!

In The Whale Rider, Witi Ihimaera presents many complex characters with intriguing dynamics between each other. It can be argued that all characters are powerful in their own ways, whether through Koro’s position as Chieftain or Kahu as The Whale Rider. Personally, I argue that Rawiri, the narrator of our novel, holds the most power.

agged precipices enveloped the crumbling castle, with crimson red streams flowing through the valley. The Earth shook in fear of the impending doom, bringing several towers down with it. The castle stood out amongst the destruction, just barely having survived the first round of obliteration. Galloping sounds neared the castle, where knights once trained, but now, where they slept, forever.
