featured TESTIMONIALS
"As an English Literature graduate, living near Stratford, I am both an academic aficionado and a regular performer of Shakespeare. I pulled a wry face when Instagram algorithms initially matched me with Dame Sarah. What could this young New York actress possibly teach me? But within moments I knew she had so much to impart. From her astonishing understanding of the linguistic and poetic building blocks of Shakespeare’s texts, to her sharp, creative insights into plot, character and motivation, Sarah is a teacher of highest rank. But always with modesty, charm and quick-witted humour. I booked online private tutorials with her and they are my weekly highlights. We have worked together on Shakespearean monologues, soliloquies and scenes. Famous ones and hidden delights. Burrowing deeper into the text than I ever did in my true academic studies. Sarah also brings a performer’s insight. These plays were never written for arid academic analysis, and her theatrical training and instincts bring everything into dramatic focus.She also prepared me for an extremely competitive audition for a non-Shakespeare role in a UK production. I was so thrilled for her that I landed the part. She invested so much work and expertise in my audition prep. I almost felt that I had an unfair advantage at the audition. Almost! Take the next step from passively watching her Instagram reels - book an online private tutorial. It will enrich not just your appreciation for Shakespeare. It will enrich your life."
