Yes! This is the perfect place for them to be. Most of the students who participate in this program intend to apply for the GATE test. Furthermore, this program has supported children to gain access into the GATE program. You can check out the reviews from their parents here.

No, the World of Wordcraft program is only designed for children receiving a C-grade or above. If you are unsure what your child’s current grade is, ask their classroom teacher.

Yes, in order to create what we like to call a ‘Bubble of Geniuses’. Our program is deliberately designed this way to reflect best practice in teaching. Kids speak “children-ese” and are sometimes better able to explain a concept to another child than a teacher can.

It also allows them to learn from each other. When one child makes a mistake, group members can see how this can be corrected before they make it themselves. Alternatively, when one child demonstrates excellence, the group can imitate it.

Furthermore, the group environment gives them exposure to a variety of ideas and writing styles which will improve the breadth and depth of their literacy skills. This reflects the group-like nature of the GATE and PEAC programs.

Class sizes are kept to five per group to ensure that your child gets the attention they need and deserve to excel.

The classes are split into Year Groups from Year 2 to Year 6.

No, if you live in Western Australia, you are welcome to join me at my home in Canning Vale. However, literacy is easily studied in an online environment and children are not disadvantaged in any way by doing it online. Ninety percent of my students join me via Zoom as they get a rich educational experience from the convenience of home.

Yes. Kindergarten to Year 1 is the early childhood phase of their learning. As they are still developing the basics of literacy, they don’t have the knowledge and stamina to cope with the intensity of this program. For year 2 students we have a specially design version of this program that accomodates the additional learning needs of this age group.

All classes are $35 per child and run for 1 hour each week.

The classes are billed weekly and you can pay by credit card or bank transfer.

That’s fine! Just let us know and we’ll slot them into the same class on another day, so that they won’t be left behind.

There is usually a small amount of homework to complete at the end of the lesson. Often this is no more than writing a few paragraphs or doing some brain storming. Homework is kept to a minimum to acknowledge the busyness of children’s after school programs, such as school homework and after school activities.
