"An inspirational workshop!
The work in the classroom was quick paced, continually hooking in and ensuring maximum engagement from all pupils. It somehow made every child in the class believe that they themselves were able express their thoughts and feelings in a performance of their own poetry to the rest of the class – a stunning success.” Tony Litting, St Paul’s Primary School, Cambridge |

"Sara was one of the best tutors I ever had the honour to be taught by. Her passion and infectious enthusiasm, combined with her extensive knowledge meant that the entire week I had her as a tutor was absolutely incredible. She has helped the entire class develop their skills in both writing and performing in poetry. "
