Content

  • Our next block of Creative Writing Club for Secondary Students will continue to celebrate the fabulous talent within the £2 Tuition Hub. This group will build on skills learned in primary school and allow students to develop their own particular style. You’ll already know how to use figurative language and you’ll have a good grasp of grammar and structure, but you might feel restricted in how you use those skills. In this group, we will be basing our writing on different stimuli each week and in this block, we will be focusing on the elements of the weather – sun, rain, snow, storms, hurricanes, hail – a different one each week.

  • We will be looking at different forms of writing – prose fiction, description, poetry, drama – and you’ll be able to take your own direction. Each lesson, there will be an opportunity to present your work to the group for comment and critique. If you’d like to read your poem or story, if you’d like the group to perform a play that you’ve written, this is the group for you. If you want to be a silent participant, that’s also fine! However, if you want to have your work read aloud and presented to the group anonymously, you can do that too. You don’t need to have done previous blocks to participate in the new live sessions for this one but nine previous blocks are available to purchase as recordings.

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”

“This group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”
