Help your child turn an idea into a story.
Some children have plenty to say but find it hard to put their ideas on paper. Others write accurately, yet their stories feel rushed or thin. We help them plan a story, develop the important moments and revise the writing so it says what they mean.
Build a story that makes sense
Connect the beginning, problem, turning point and ending. Make the character’s choices believable.
Bring a moment to life
Use action, dialogue and a few well-chosen details. Learn when to slow a scene down and when to move it on.
Revise for the reader
Check whether the sentences connect, the vocabulary fits and the ending follows from the story. Work on grammar as part of the writing.
From a simple statement to a developed scene.
“Amir was worried about speaking.”
“Amir folded the corner of his notes as the room fell quiet.”
He notices a familiar face, puts his notes down and begins with the one point he knows well.
We discuss what the detail tells the reader and what should happen next. Your child then develops their own version, receives feedback and revises it. The aim is a story they can explain and improve—not a memorised composition.
A starting point that fits the writer.
We welcome students in SJKC, national schools, Chinese independent schools and international schools. Primary learners may begin with sentences and short scenes; more confident writers can work towards longer stories and essays.
For PSLE-related preparation, we connect story planning and language choices to the relevant writing task. Secondary learners work on greater control of structure, detail and voice. The class recommendation follows the learner’s writing, not school year alone.
Build writing habits your child can use elsewhere.
Planning, selecting evidence, choosing words carefully and revising an answer matter in school essays too. As students grow, these habits can support scholarship writing and other personal or academic tasks. We teach them to use their own experiences and ideas.
Your questions, answered
Is this only for children in Singapore schools?
Children from SJKC, national, Chinese independent and international schools are welcome. We start with their current writing and build from there.
Will my child memorise model essays?
We use examples to discuss how writing works, then help students plan, draft and improve their own work. The focus is application rather than reproducing a prepared essay.
Does this replace the full English course?
Creative Writing focuses on writing. A full Primary or Secondary English programme also covers reading, language, listening and speaking; we can discuss which arrangement your child needs.
How are class times and fees arranged?
WhatsApp us your child’s school year and a piece of recent writing. We’ll discuss a class and share the times and fees.
