Did your child struggle with English in Year 7?
We can help turn that around in Year 8!
Many students start secondary school as good readers and enjoy writing until something strange and unexplainable happens - or so it appears!
Suddenly, by the end of Year 7, they HATE English!
They no longer want to read a book or write stories.
They don’t GET English:
🙁it’s too random
😩it doesn’t follow a pattern
😡it doesn’t make sense anymore.
You don’t know what has happened.🙄
You’re worried or even panicked.😱
I have taught English across KS2, KS3 and KS4, during my 20+ years as a teacher.
So why is it that students struggle to excel in English between KS2 and KS3?
The BIGGEST issue is the huge disconnect between the English curriculum of KS2 and that of KS3, which leaves students wading through a quagmire of uncertainty.
Over the last 5 years, I have been researching ways in which students can overcome this disconnect between the key stages. I have developed a simple 5-step programme that enhances and accelerates students’ writing skills, and prepares them ahead of time for GCSE English Language.
Drop me a message and I will show you how I can support your child.

ATTENTION PARENTS of Y5 - Y8 students
😳Does your child lack confidence when writing?
😡Does your child find writing tasks frustrating?
😳Do English exams fill your child with anxiety?
If any of the above apply to your child, then I can help.🙂
I’m Sabeena (BA Hons, PGCE, NPQH), a UK trained teacher with 29 years of classroom and school leadership experience.
Parents:
💡Did you know that the ‘creative writing’ question on the GCSE English Language Paper 1 (AQA, Edexcel) is worth 25% of the ENTIRE GCSE?
💡Did you know that your child could learn the techniques to answer that question successfully, long before Y10?
💡Did you know that learning those writing techniques early could eliminate your child’s worry, anxiety and frustration, elevating their self-confidence and self-esteem?
Why should you listen to me?
My students achieve outstanding results. Take ‘O’ on the ad image, who came to us late in his academic journey. He failed his 11+ due to his English score. The effect on him was devastating, his confidence spiralled downwards, negatively impacting his performance in English as he progressed through secondary school. He wasn’t making ‘good progress’ year on year.
In 2023 he embarked upon my Writing Acceleration Programme.
Much to the surprise and delight of his teachers, in his mocks this year (he had 3!) he consistently achieved near full marks on the ‘creative writing’ question that had previously caused him so much anxiety. In addition, he applied what he had learnt to his other subjects and excelled in those too!
As you can see, he is full of confidence now and free of the stress he previously felt, because he has a strategy that can be applied to any ‘creative writing’ question.
Your child could acquire and master those skills and techniques MUCH earlier in their academic journey than ‘O’. Imagine the impact that could have on their entire secondary education!
Help your child take control of their education BEFORE the pressure takes over and they begin to lose confidence.

Together, we can lead your child to success in 2024.

Did you know one of the easiest ways to get your child reading is to switch on the subtitles to their favourite TV programme?
They can't help but read them! They are reading without realising!
This is great for increasing the flow and fluidity of their reading, their reading speed and their intonation.

The Top 5 Reasons You Need A Tutor!
Are you worried about your child's progress in Writing?
Are you unsure how to support your child's learning at home? 🤔
Here are the top 5 reasons why a tutor might be the solution you've been looking for!
Every parent wants the best for their child, and sometimes, that means finding extra support outside the classroom.
Whether your child is struggling in a particular subject, preparing for a big exam, or simply wants to get ahead, hiring a tutor can make a world of difference. 🧑🏫
Here's why:
1️⃣ Personalized Attention: In a classroom setting, teachers can't always provide detailed support. A tutor can give your child the direct attention they need with their writing, focusing on their unique learning style and cultural background.
2️⃣ Mastering Creative Short Story Writing: A specialised tutor in Creative Short Story Writing can help your child build a strong foundation in the subject, making it easier to understand complex concepts and develop their creative story writing skills.
3️⃣ Confidence Boost: A tutor can help your child overcome their fears and insecurities with English creative writing, empowering them to approach their studies with newfound confidence and pride.
4️⃣ Improved Study Habits: A tutor can help your child develop effective study techniques and time management skills, setting them up for long-term success in academic and creative pursuits.
5️⃣ Support for Parents: Let's face it – parents can't be experts in every subject. By hiring a tutor, you can ensure that your child gets the academic support they need in writing, without stretching yourself too thin.

3 Ways To Boost Your Child’s Motivation To Get Better Results In Creative Short Story Writing!
If you want your child to succeed in creative short story writing and go on to become a confident, expressive writer and perhaps gain recognition for their creative talents, where they learn and who they learn with matters!
Have you ever been worried that certain aspects of school-life may actually be bad for your child, stopping them from reaching their true potential?
This is all too common - because their environment (including who they are associated with) dictates their habits, and we already know how important building the right habits are!
At school students have no choice - they have to go whether they like it or not. This means there are some students who want to be there and learn and others who don't.
Imagine this... If you were to climb Mount Everest by yourself or with a group of unmotivated people, would you be likely to make it to the top?
Or, are you more likely to make it to the top of the mountain with a motivated leader and others who also want to get to there?
Students need to be around other students who want to achieve the top results and grades, so that they feel motivated to do better, study harder, and develop the belief that they are capable of achieving excellence in creative writing. What this does is provide an unlimited boost of motivation for students. This often goes on to be reflected in school too!
Here's how you can help your child do this:
1. Help your child understand the importance of winning environments and being around like-minded students.
2. Access education outside school for your child so that they can upgrade their environment.
3. Find small group focused learning with students who also want to achieve excellence in creative short story writing.

How Your Child Can Quickly Become Top Of The Class In Creative Short Story Writing!
Many students don't develop winning study habits at school because they have been conditioned to see school as boring or difficult, which means there is a negative association with wanting to continue learning outside school - You don't do more of something you don't enjoy!
But if most students know that the more they study and invest in their education the better results they will get - Why don't they do it? Simple - It's not important enough and therefore additional study doesn't become a habit.
Take this for an example - Why do we brush our teeth multiple times a day? Is it because we enjoy brushing our teeth? No, it's because we realize how important it is and that there are consequences for not doing it. So, we develop a habit and a routine for brushing our teeth.
The key to help students become accomplished, confident English story writers is to re-wire their current study habits so that they naturally do all the things they know they should be doing and everything becomes easier. If it’s easier, they start to enjoy it more and become more focused on what they can achieve.
Here's how you can help your child to do this:
1. Invest in your child's education outside school so that they develop better habits and a better routine that enhances their learning.
2. Learning needs to be fun so that your child doesn't see doing additional study as 'boring'.
3. Building a mindset for success through goal setting will align your child with the importance of education and its benefits.

The 3 steps to help your child become accomplished in English Creative Short Story Writing.
Most students fail when it comes to doing well in creative short story writing not because they aren't capable, but because they are simply given the wrong strategy to succeed! Which is kind of frustrating because a sports team that prepares for their next competitive fixture with the wrong strategy isn't going to succeed.
So how do you know if your child doesn’t have the right strategy to help them excel in creative writing? Simple... Do any of these sound familiar?
💡Struggling to express creative ideas in English despite being imaginative.
💡Feeling disconnected from what they are asked to write at school.
💡Getting overwhelmed by English grammar and vocabulary, hindering creative expression.
That is why we changed our approach and strategy as teachers and developed our Creative Short Story Writing System. Once we started working with our students this way, the results were incredible.
Here's what your child needs to focus on:
✅ First, discover and embrace their unique storytelling voice, using it to build confidence in their writing.
✅ Then, engage and enhance their skills through interactive story-building exercises.
✅ Finally, cultivate and connect their stories to their heritage, making them authentic and globally appealing.
These 3 things are fundamental in helping your child become a confident, creative short story writer, ready for global recognition!. Just like a boxer preparing for a world championship fight.... when they prepare with the right strategy their chances of success increase dramatically.
