Frequently asked questions
Every session follows our five-step method: Teach, Model, Write, Feedback, Improve. The instructor introduces a skill, shows it in action, students write independently, then receive specific feedback — all within the same session.
Every class is capped at 7 students. This limit exists so every child gets genuine, personalised attention from the instructor each week.
Yes. Every class is led by a qualified teacher — not a casual tutor. Our instructors hold teaching qualifications equivalent to those required by the NSW Department of Education.
A senior instructor sits with your child for a structured writing task, then walks you through the results — strengths, areas to develop, and the right program fit. Around 45 minutes, zero obligation.
