Testimonials
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.
Very helpful, tutor extremely kind, caring and patient to help. I learnt a lot from the class, I feel much more confident if I was in an actual exam it helps a lot. Great thing about it is, there is a live recording so if you are sick you still get the knowledge.
Hi! I’m Byrn from Malaysia. I used to be a C/B student, and honestly, English First Language was such a challenge for me — especially when you think about how much writing we have to do in just two hours 😭. I’m so glad I found Ms Sarah! She’s such a wonderful and humorous teacher, and she always makes me laugh whenever I watch her YouTube videos or join her masterclasses.
She explains things so clearly and makes everything feel much easier to understand. I also love how informative her classes are and how much effort she puts into every lesson.
And guess what — after just two months of her masterclasses, I got an A (85%) in my IGCSE!! I was honestly shocked 😭✨. Ms Sarah really made me feel so much more confident walking into the exam hall. Thank you so much, Ms Sarah!! 🎉🎉
