Content

  • Ghosts

    Our next block of Creative Writing Club for Secondary Students will continue to celebrate the fabulous talent within the £2 Tuition Hub.

    You don’t need to have done previous blocks to participate in the new live sessions for this one but thirteen previous blocks are available to purchase.

    Course Objectives:

    To understand how a range of creative writing techniques can be used to create effects for the reader.

    To learn how to critique the work of others in a constructive way.

  • 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, it will be GHOSTS. There are many different ghost stories and traditions and many ways to write about the topic. I’ll be giving you a different type of ghost story 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.

“The group is wonderful, the classes are great, the teachers are awesome and my kids feel they belong to a community. They've made real friends with whom they spend hours chatting and playing. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find this group.…. you have made a gigantic difference in many people's lives and have contributed greatly to ensuring many kids enjoy studying and grow up happy and mentally healthy and that is pretty amazing.”

Ana Brum, parent

“You're pure genius. It’s given us a lifeline! There are no words I can say to describe just how incredible it is to have amazing teachers at our fingertips to teach my daughter (and all the other kids here). Because of YOU and all the TEACHERS here, I am able to take my daughter out of an environment that wasn’t suitable for her and still give her a good education, that's so affordable, at home where she feels safe and comfortable. ”

Krystle Royal, parent

“The way you’ve structured The £2 Tuition Hub clearly comes from a deep and personal understanding of what anxious/ND children and young people need in order to be able to engage with and enjoy their learning. I’d honestly be lost without your work, so big thanks to you and the rest of your team. ”

Laura, Parent

“....The Enterprising minds course has helped her to be able to do a business plan and her accounts. I/ we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all in the hub. When we started HE 2 years ago we were thrown in it and wasn't sure that we would manage it. But the help all the Teachers have provided via the hub has really made this unfamiliar journey not only bearable, but enjoyable. ”
