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!! 🎉🎉
I recently attended the online professional development session for English Language and found it to be incredibly helpful and informative. The content was eye-opening, with clear and practical examples that I can easily adapt to my current teaching practices. Many of the strategies and resources shared can also be implemented into our whole-school English teaching plan. The resources provided were excellent—well-structured, detailed, and immediately usable. I also really appreciated the generous amount of time dedicated to supporting our department. I would highly recommend this session to other educators looking to enhance their approach to English teaching.
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.
