Sarah is a fantastic teacher – friendly but focused with thoughtful, logical lesson planning and a much appreciated willingness to flex with your needs.

If you are looking to pass an exam or just learn language life skills you will find no-one better!

Mrs. O’Rourke’s lessons provide exceptional support for IB English students like myself, deepening our analytical skills and refining our writing to the IB standard.

Her feedback builds both confidence and improve our skills, I walked into exams prepared, all thanks to Mrs. O’Rourke’s teaching style.

Any English student, whether struggling or aiming for top marks, would benefit from her classes. 

Great energy and environment in class and always made me feel welcome! Gave me a spark for writing I didn’t think was possible, and gave me consistent practice and tips that have left me more than prepared for my exams!

Sarah’s a lovely human being and every English student should get to have a teacher like her once.

Miss Sarah is awesome and the best IGCSE English 0500 teacher out there! Her practical and actionable approach to all the tasks in the exam means you will leave every lesson knowing exactly what you’re supposed to do.

Teaching is tailored to what is expected of us in the mark scheme for the highest marks and excellent feedback.
Great and lively teacher as well!
These sessions are great for anyone aiming to score the highest of marks in the final exam.

The Masterclasses have helped me learn how to answer each question strategically and understand what the examiners are looking for. They have really made me more confident for my English exam!

I really recommend this tutor. She is very kind and informative. The feedback was really good. I learnt a lot.

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.

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.

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.

I found the tutoring sessions really helpful, especially the clear feedback and strategies for improving my writing. The personalized approach made a big difference, and I’d recommend your services to anyone who wishes a BIG improvement in their grades.

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!

My daughter enjoyed every single class and was actually sad when the class ended. Very good feedback for each homework and highly valuable suggestions for each paper.

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.

I recently attended the online professional development session for English Language and found it to be incredibly helpful and informative. The content was eye-opening, with clear and practical examples that I can easily adapt to my current teaching practices. Many of the strategies and resources shared can also be implemented into our whole-school English teaching plan. The resources provided were excellent—well-structured, detailed, and immediately usable. I also really appreciated the generous amount of time dedicated to supporting our department. I would highly recommend this session to other educators looking to enhance their approach to English teaching.
