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!! 🎉🎉
This Narrative Writing unit is a masterclass in crafting compelling stories, perfectly tailored to the IGCSE First Language English syllabus. Each lesson builds purposefully on the last, guiding students from genre exploration to polished exam-ready narratives with clarity, creativity, and confidence. This unit doesn’t just teach students how to write stories – it teaches them how to think like writers. The balance of creativity, technique, and exam strategy is exceptional. Whether students are aiming for top marks or simply want to enjoy the craft of storytelling, this unit delivers. Highly recommended!
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.

A brush stroke. A light stipple. A scrape of my palette knife. I couldn’t remember how long I’d been hunched over the painting, frantically swiping every brush in my collection across the canvas. I could feel my eyes start to droop downwards, begging for even a wink of sleep as colors on the canvas began to meld together — my back ached for relief, but I had to finish it. Nothing else mattered.

It was a bright cold evening of summer and Anna shuddered into her coat in an effort to escape the biting wind.
As she slipped into her new flat with the last of the boxes, she dropped her keys into the bowl in the hallway and paused to kick off her boots.
The apartment was a small battered space that had not seen much renovation since the late seventies, according to the last owner.
