Our Unique Video-Based Course – Plus Weekly Online Lessons
Expert Guidance to Help our Child Build Knowledge and Confidence In Their Writing For 11 Plus Exams and Beyond!
The Write and Bloom course is the perfect way to prepare your child for 11 Plus exams, whether your child is taking grammar school selection tests or independent (private) school entrance exams.
Our unique formula includes both video-based tutorials (covering 12 types of writing tasks used in these competitive exams) plus the added benefit of weekly online learning.
The brainchild of experienced journalist and 11 Plus exam expert Joycellyn Akuffo (who is also the Managing Director of Geek School Tutoring), with our Write and Bloom course, your child can learn everything they need to know to prepare for the 11 Plus writing task. We will teach your child how to:
- Develop story ideas;
- Spot and avoid common spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in their writing;
- Use advanced writing techniques and simple secrets to produce excellent writing every time, under timed conditions.
- And so much more, including building their confidence in their writing – something they will carry for life!
Online 11 Plus Creative Writing Lessons Your Child Will Love!
Our Write and Bloom course also includes weekly online lessons for students who need extra interaction. These small group online tuition sessions of up to 10 students are led by Joycellyn Akuffo, and provide another opportunity for your child to ask questions and get feedback on their work. These small groups are the perfect number for each student to contribute, but ensure the group dynamic is fun and engaging at the same time.
Whether you have found out about us from one of Joycellyn’s videos on Geek School Tutoring’s YouTube channel, you can be assured that every course we produce is the brainchild of our managing director, Joycellyn Akuffo.
An experienced journalist and 11 Plus exam expert, Joycellyn has helped hundreds of children pass grammar and independent school exams in the past decade. She is passionate about finding a way to help students who live too far from our centres in Beckenham and Lewisham to enjoy our in-person tuition, hence our online support and fantastic video-based courses!
Meeting with their peers online once a week for an hour allows students to learn and bounce ideas with one another, making the experience even more enjoyable and impactful.
Weekly Homework With Detailed Marking and Feedback – An Essential Part Of Our Process and Your Child’s Success
Like our flagship 11 Plus Creative Writing Crash Course, students will have access to our unique video marking and feedback system, which our students love. We provide the type of detailed feedback that parents wish their children would get in school (or even in their English tuition), and it will help your child understand their mistakes and learn from them. And it is all recorded, so your child will feel as though they are watching over the shoulder of their tutor while they are marking and explaining their work – because that is exactly what is happening!
