Testimonials

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 🙂

Hailey, Y12 IB student, Shenzhen

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.

Orion, Year 7 IGCSE student, Hong Kong ❤️

From the time, I saw the six text type video by Taughtly, I knew Sarah is a knowledgeable and experienced teacher! What we discovered after signing up, was that she adapts to the students learning style and engages the student well, helping build comfort and confidence around the language. I am thankful to her for helping my son do well in his FLE to reach a high A in the IGCSE.
