Expert-Led Writing Tutoring for NAPLAN, Selective, Scholarship & ICAS

What a ride it has been. I was initially hesitant at signing up for group tutoring as I thought one-on-one would work best but actually I think this has worked even better. Instead of feeling like they are somehow faulty or the odd one out, I now think that working in a group helps children to feel normal and included – like they’re not the only one and there’s nothing wrong with them. They can see lots of other children working on improving their writing together. I feel that’s really encouraging and supports their self-esteem and motivation to keep going. Reading other’s writing pieces has also acted as inspiration and further idea development. The great structure you provide as a foundation for each piece has been extremely useful, constructive and a real blessing. From him hardly writing anything or not knowing where to start, your guiding structure has enabled him to really get going and discover how much he enjoys writing. We also got to discover how good he is at it!. The extensive written notes and general information you give plus regular individual feedback both live in the class and in marking of individual pieces has helped him to develop his own skills and also observe his own growth over this past year. We really look forward to reading his writing now! From what was a struggle for years (and can still be a bit sometimes) it has now become joyful. He even got offered a place at his first choice of selective high school!. Thank you so much for your high-integrity, deeply caring attitude and high standards that you hold for all students. We’re excited to see what comes next!
