Testimonials

The classes were very helpful for my son. They were well structured and he learned a lot about the best way to answer the exam questions. He also enjoyed them, which is a bonus! I would recommend her classes to other home educators out there.

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

Laura K., Teachers Pay Teachers

With her iconic British charm and wicked, black-market worthy perfection comes Sarah. A true blessing for those who tackle the English language academically, and a reality check for those with a ‘high Grade 7 ego’ – why not test it out? – I dare ya.
Class discussions, feedback, style, flair, insight – you name it – and yet she still remains unparalleled in her art.
I aint overselling this —
