Sarah is a wonderful person and was very supportive through our journey. She really got to understand the children and used methods individual to each child’s strengths and weaknesses. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. I wish her all the best in the future.

Sarah uses an online interactive whiteboard for lessons, similar to the interactive board found in the school classroom which allows both parties to annotate/ write/ highlight on the screen. The work for every lesson is prepared from scratch according to the weaknesses identified from an initial assessment. Where applicable, Sarah loves to incorporate games or activities to make her lessons fun and interactive.

I asked my daughter what she thought of Sarah and she was very positive about her. We used Sarah's tuition mostly to help on English, as she was struggling a bit with comprehension, and also to help her with exam technique. My daughter told me that Sarah was very funny in teaching, which she loved and that she gave her really great tips on how to tackle exam questions.
We did not use Sarah for the math part, as my daughter was already attending Mathnesium near our house, so I cannot comment on this. But it seems that Sarah's style really suited her. She was also very good at sending mock exam papers, correcting them promptly and going through them in detail with her, in a way that was apparently very helpful to her. Her monthly comments were very helpful to me too.
