Frequently Asked Questions
How are the mini courses different from the Creative Writing Crash Course?
Our mini courses focus on specific writing skills, allowing you to target exactly what your child needs help with. Each mini course is shorter and more affordable than the comprehensive Crash Course. The Creative Writing Crash Course covers all aspects of creative writing in depth, while the mini courses allow you to focus on particular areas where your child may be struggling.
How long will my child have access to the mini courses?
Your child will have access to each mini course for 3 months from the date of purchase. This gives plenty of time to work through the materials, complete the assignments, and revisit any lessons as needed.
How much time will my child need to spend on each mini course?
Each mini course is designed to be completed in approximately 3-4 hours total, spread over 2-3 weeks. This includes watching the video lessons, completing the worksheets, and doing the assignments. The courses are self-paced, so your child can work through them as quickly or slowly as needed.
What age group are these mini courses suitable for?
Our mini courses are primarily designed for children in Years 4 and 5 who are preparing for 11+ exams. However, they can also be beneficial for Year 6 students who need to strengthen specific writing skills, or for younger children who are particularly advanced.
How does the marking system work?
Each mini course includes one assignment that will be personally marked by our expert team using the same criteria used by top grammar and independent schools. Your child will receive detailed feedback highlighting strengths and specific areas for improvement, with actionable advice on how to enhance their writing.
Which mini course should my child start with?
If you’re unsure which area your child needs the most help with, we recommend starting with the Creative Writing Mini Course as it covers fundamental storytelling skills. However, if you know your child struggles with a specific type of writing (e.g., descriptions, recounts, or persuasive writing), then choose the mini course that addresses that particular need.
