Our program runs 4 terms in the year, covering a mix of writing genres in each term. Timed writings and writing using picture prompts are also covered.
Group Classes
Our group classes run as an after-school program for an hour. During these classes, we introduce a concept of writing which we will focus on and discuss where and how it can be used in writing. Students are then provided a topic or picture prompt to write about and encouraged to use the concept in their writing. The writing is assessed and individual feedback is provided to students. The feedback can then be incorporated in the next writing prompt. This sort of regular practice with feedback leads to a definite writing improvement.
Private One-on-One Classes
In addition to the group classes we also provide one-on-one tutoring where students have access to their own private tutor. The tutor will come to your home anywhere in Melbourne for these sessions. The program can be steered in the direction where the child needs most support with. Parents also use this service for their children who sit for scholarship and selective entrance tests.
