Description
At Stage 2, grammar school exams are fiercely competitive. Most children lose marks not in maths or reasoning, but in the writing task. This course is designed to change that.
Over three months, your child’s writing will be transformed from “school standard” to the level examiners demand in the toughest grammar school selection tests. Through focused training, they will learn how to write with clarity, structure and flair under exam conditions.
What makes this course different?
- Exam-focused video lessons covering every style tested in Stage 2 exams: stories, recounts, diary entries, reports, essays, letters and articles.
- Unlimited personalised video feedback for 3 months. Every piece of work is marked on video by Joycellyn Akuffo, journalist and founder of Geek School Tutoring, so your child hears exactly what worked, what didn’t and how to improve.
- A bank of 14 exam-style tasks mirroring real Stage 2 papers, including story titles, opening lines and discursive prompts.
- Editing strategies that cut filler, sharpen vocabulary and strengthen structure.
- Timed writing practice that builds speed, focus and confidence.
Why it works
Children don’t just practise – they improve with every submission. With unlimited feedback, your child is guided through each mistake until their writing becomes sharper, faster and more exam-ready. Parents often notice the change quickly: endings become stronger, essays more balanced, and confidence in timed writing soars.
With over 10 years of success helping children secure places at St Olave’s, Wilson’s, Nonsuch, Henrietta Barnett and other top schools, Geek School Tutoring knows exactly what examiners are looking for – and how to get children writing at that level.
At £845, this course delivers the structure, intensity and expert support of months of private tuition at a fraction of the cost.
Enrol today and give your child the transformation they need to turn writing from their biggest risk into their greatest strength at Stage 2.
