Sara worked 121 with Atlanta as one of the only providers we could find that supported home educated students. Theory online and practical saw us travel to Heston but was definitely worth the effort as my daughter achieved her gcse dance in less than a year through hard work and great tuition ❤️
Sara is brilliant. Worth every penny and so much more. She really is the fairy godmother of GCSE!!
A perfect description of Sara, me and my students would have been completely lost in the woods without her 🙌

“Sara had such a lovely manner with my students. She put them right at ease with fun brainwakers. They never felt worried about asking questions and she was so knowledgeable making insightful points about the different sections of the paper and how to approach questions. Her tasks to help students remember the vast amount of information expected really helped them connect with exam questions. They were engaged and interested throughout and felt enthused about revision moving forward and going into the written exam. It was just what we needed with only a few more weeks to go to help light the theory spark again.”
“Thankyou Sara from ArtsPool for coming to the school to work with my year 11’s. Sara was fantastic with my students and very much catered to their needs. Sara has given them a boost in confidence ahead of the written exam. Alongside an important kick in motivation in specifically what they need to be revising. This fantastic written exam workshop has now shaped the revision lessons moving forward with my year 11 cohort, in the run up to the GCSE Dance written exam. Thank you again!”
