"Thank you for all your work on this project I have been very impressed by your adaptability and the quality from the feedback of the sessions from the groups and yourself. Hopefully we will be able to work together again"
- Outreach Manager, The Bluecoat
"Outstanding. Brought everyone in the group into life and left them feeling safe to share. Sarah was brilliant.
Simply a splendid experience!"
- Wirral Mind
"The children experienced an exciting lesson where they had the opportunity to make up poems about food"
- Lister Infant School
"I enjoyed this course SO MUCH! Most of that though is down to having a very good and supportive tutor, who I felt really was interested and committed, and not just thinking about the paycheck at the end of the month. Sarah also really loves and cares about the subject. I haven't come across a teacher so inspiring since two of my English teachers at High School, who also had a lot of faith in me and my writing when I didn't have any myself."
- Open University Student
"The teenagers all enjoyed the sessions and found it a really worthwhile experience"
- Halewood College
