Testimonials

On my mom: I learned more things in three lesson of this English class than 2 years of English class in my school.

Amazing guidance and content preparation. Especially with paper 2, all of the material that we went over during class was very useful, targeted, and precise, helping a lot with building your own analysis based on strong foundations.

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!! 🎉🎉
