Testimonials
On my mom: I learned more things in three lesson of this English class than 2 years of English class in my school.
The classes were very helpful for my son. They were well structured and he learned a lot about the best way to answer the exam questions. He also enjoyed them, which is a bonus! I would recommend her classes to other home educators out there.
This Narrative Writing unit is a masterclass in crafting compelling stories, perfectly tailored to the IGCSE First Language English syllabus. Each lesson builds purposefully on the last, guiding students from genre exploration to polished exam-ready narratives with clarity, creativity, and confidence. This unit doesn’t just teach students how to write stories – it teaches them how to think like writers. The balance of creativity, technique, and exam strategy is exceptional. Whether students are aiming for top marks or simply want to enjoy the craft of storytelling, this unit delivers. Highly recommended!
