These classes genuinely helped me so much! So well organised, and the extra resources provided such as authors intents, quote banks, or main techniques really helped make the essay writing process easier. And of course Miss O’Rourke is an amazing teacher and paid so much attention to small details which really elevated my understanding of the texts we studied!
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!
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.

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.
