  • Public Speaking Details

    Online courses: Public Speaking

    The Public Speaking course is led by George, an English and Drama tutor and professional actor with fourteen years’ experience.

Key modules will include: understanding what your audience want and how you can serve them; analysing posture, eye contact and physical confidence; and mastering vocal delivery.

  • Critical Thinking Details

    Online courses: Critical Thinking

    The Critical Thinking workshop is led by Christian, who has been an IB teacher for 20 years. He currently works for an IB school where he is head of Global Politics and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). He is the author of several textbooks for Pearson Publishing. The course will encourage students to reflect on the central question, ‘How do we know that?’. It will inculcate habits of healthy scepticism and scrutiny of claimed knowledge, and will urge students to reflect on and examine the way their own beliefs and perspectives may impact on what they think they know.

The course is flexible to the language level of your child, but all will cover mastery of the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary. The lessons will equip your child to be confident speaking, listening to and reading English – and develop a love of language-learning along the way.

  • Creative Writing Details

    Online courses: Creative Writing

    Rebecca Stonehill is a published fiction author of four books, based in the UK. She has been teaching creative writing to young people for over ten years, empowering them to get excited about the written word and produce work they can be proud of.

    The inspiration and creative writing activities for these courses will be taken from two exciting books.

    For younger students (age approx 9-12 years) we will use Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and for older students (age approx 13-16 years) we will use Northern Lights by Philip Pullman.

    I have chosen these books because they are rich in plot, setting, characterisation and opportunities for writing activities around them.

    I will divide each book into ten weeks, giving the students a task of reading a certain amount between classes. (NB If they are unable to read the set chapters it is OK but it goes without saying they will get more out of the class and it will be more fulfilling if they read the full amount.)

    Please note that very limited reading will take place in the class itself – during our hour together we will focus on fun writing activities. These will be based around (but not limited to) the following: character, setting, plot, conflict, multiple perspectives, imagining oneself in the story, poetic interpretation.

    Skills students will be working on:

    • Creativity
    • Composition and structuring of short stories and poems
    • Increasing vocabulary
    • Literary devices to help bring writing alive eg simile, metaphor
    • Confidence with the written word

    The classes will all take place on Zoom.

    What students will need to bring to the class: the book, enthusiasm and imagination!
