Sarah has a breadth of knowledge and experience to share and her passion for helping others shines through. The programme is well structured with a clear progression and all resources and support documents were always made readily available after sessions.

I'm getting the opportunity to network with a group of teachers who all love education but want to take greater control of their working lives. Sarah has been generous in sharing her business model with us, allowing us to consider our options beyond 1:1 in person tuition with the local market.

I think what Sarah is doing in this course is opening a door, and saying come on in, I'll tell you how its done, but its up to you to make it work for you in a way that suits you. Sarah is generous in her knowledge and holds nothing back. I listen to every word and have made heaps of notes, which I will use to steer me forward.

Now, I work on my own terms, free from the limitations of working within a school setting. I work 3 mornings a week and I have Fridays completely to myself. None of this was possible before I left my full time job. This flexibility has not only enriched my professional life but also enhanced my personal well-being. I get to be present with my family and do what I want to do.
From the Aster Academy course so far I have found it a really useful springboard to check & to apply to the current running of NK Tutoring and given me tangible & current information to help me to focus where & how I would like my international business to develop. In particular how we will plan to go ahead with our structure, presence, social media, showcasing our expertise and building an audience. Your insights into the international system and in particular SE Asia are hugely valuable and hopefully allow us to ‘hit the ground running’ when we plan to launch in 2024.

The Aster Academy mentoring programme is a fantastically comprehensive and engaging course, aimed at helping passionate teachers change direction, whilst still holding on to the key skills of the profession. Sarah Capewell's expertise is second to none and the thought that has gone into the sessions is clear from the outset. She is an articulate and thoughtful presenter, but brings other guest speakers on board from the outset. Sarah's vision can be summarised in how she divides up the course content - Nurture, Blossom and Flourish - the very principles on which we all hope to pin our careers.

The Aster Academy course offers a wealth of information about developing an international tutoring business. Sarah is extremely generous in sharing her personal experiences, insights and knowledge. The range of speakers and topics each week were engaging and gave opportunities to question and set goals. I am immensely grateful for Sarah's international tutoring programme. Her superior knowledge, generosity, and positive attitude along with her deep understanding of the subject matters created an inspiring and supportive environment. This program has significantly enhanced my skills and confidence. Highly recommended!
