As it’s an incredibly difficult time for most families, I wanted to give back by holding a free weekly tutorial class for children ages 9-13.

Each week, I’ll be teaching live on Facebook, covering a specific topic within English. This might range from creative writing to comprehension.

This week’s topic was on 3 powerful ways to start a story that WOWs teachers and examiners.

Not only can you watch the replay of the tutorial, comment underneath on either Youtube or our Facebook page, but you can also download our free Creative Writing Booster Kit which is ideal for 11+ students.

You can also download the accompanying worksheet that goes with the tutorial. Remember that it’s key to watch the tutorial first so that the worksheet makes sense. Details on how to access the worksheet are under the video.

Click the PLAY button above to watch the Facebook Live Tutorial video I did on how to start a creative writing story in a way that WOWs examiners and teachers. This tutorial is ideal for students who are in Key Stages 2 and 3 and are preparing for exams including the 10+, 11+ and even 13+ exams.

How to make the most of this free tutorial

Treat it like a real lesson. With a real lesson, your child would have a pen and paper and would have the mindset that they’re about to learn something new. Encourage them to be focused and make the most of the lesson.
Encourage your child to take notes or write down any words or phrases that stand out to them.
Have fun! For the students that attended this live tutorial, they were able to comment as I was teaching. If you’re watching the replay on Youtube, your child can instead, comment under the video and I’ll be able to read their messages and reply or give any additional guidance.
