Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difficulty level of the course?

​

The course does involve some challenging concepts, but all abilities are welcome and will be able to access the course on their level. The ​only essential criteria is a passion for words and writing.

​

The course is an opportunity for children who enjoy writing to take this interest further. If your child is particularly struggling with English/ certain aspects of it (e.g. spelling, reading or reading comprehension), this would be something that I could help with through private tutoring.

​

What if my child is worried about enrolling?

​

One of my priorities is to create a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. There are many opportunities for the children to share their work, and I do gently encourage them to read it to the group - or, at least, to let me read it for them - but I will never force this! I understand that the children may not be comfortable sharing a particular piece of writing or having the spotlight on them.

If your child has any other concerns, please let me know, and I am sure that I will be able to provide reassurance.

​

Are one-to-one sessions an option?

​

Yes, for children who need help with particular areas of writing and reading that they are struggling with, e.g. spelling, punctuation, grammar, or sentence structure.
