A higher level lesson for extended metaphors. This worked well for our higher level learners.

There’s a reason why I trusted her for my pre-IB classes. Awesome teacher who gives beautifully crafted lessons and detailed feedback for homework! Definitely the one who helped me pull up my grades from a 6 to a 9 🙂

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.
