Small-class, teacher-led writing instruction. Your child learns exam-ready structure and technique for every genre — with instant feedback from the teacher. Plus take-home practice with automated scoring and rewrite suggestions.
Students in Year 3 to Year 9 who need to develop their writing skills beyond what school provides. Whether preparing for OC, Selective, Scholarship, NAPLAN, or ICAS — or simply building stronger writing fundamentals.
Teacher-led, small group. Your child learns structure and technique for the session's genre, writes under timed conditions, and receives instant feedback — all during class.
The teacher introduces the writing genre for the session — covering structure, techniques, and what markers are looking for. Based on the latest exam trends and formats.
Students write under timed exam conditions with a clear prompt, instructions, and success checklist. Just like the real test.
The teacher reviews each student’s work during class and gives direct, specific feedback. Not after — during. Small class size makes this possible.
Common mistakes are addressed as a group. The teacher shows how to restructure paragraphs, strengthen arguments, and elevate vocabulary — using real examples from the session.
Outside of class, students can practise writing at home using our Writing Coach system. Submit a piece on any prompt and receive a full analysis within seconds. There are more practice opportunities available than any student could realistically complete.
Every piece scored across 9 rubric criteria: Audience & Purpose, Ideas, Structure, Cohesion, Paragraph Control, Vocabulary, Sentence Structure, Spelling & Punctuation, and Voice.
Specific comments on what works and what needs improvement — with evidence pulled directly from your child’s writing.
Weak phrases highlighted with stronger alternatives. Generic expressions are replaced with precise, exam-ready vocabulary.
Every spelling, grammar, and punctuation error identified and corrected with clear explanations.
An upgraded version of your child’s essay showing how the same ideas can be expressed at a higher level — so they can see exactly what "better" looks like.
Genre structure, technique, and exam strategy taught directly by the teacher every session.
Write under real exam conditions every week. Prompts based on latest exam trends.
The teacher reviews your child’s work during class — small group makes this possible.
Automated scoring, line-by-line feedback, vocabulary upgrades, grammar correction, and essay rewrite.
Every piece scored on Audience, Ideas, Structure, Cohesion, Paragraph Control, Vocabulary, Sentences, Spelling, and Voice.
Track your child’s improvement across all scoring dimensions over time.
