About Course

This intensive 3-week online course is designed to give your son the specific skills and confidence needed to excel in the unique 20-minute, picture-based descriptive writing task for the Dulwich College 11+ entrance exam. We will move beyond generic writing advice and focus exclusively on the techniques required to score top marks under Dulwich’s tight time constraints and specific marking criteria.
 
Your son will learn how to plan effectively in just 5 minutes, transform a visual prompt into a rich descriptive piece in 15 minutes, and master the use of imagery (metaphor and simile) that Dulwich examiners are explicitly looking for. Through a combination of targeted video lessons, timed writing drills, and personal video marking, this course will make the creative writing task your son’s strongest asset on exam day.
