The Description Clinic

The single skill that separates good 11 Plus writers from exceptional ones — taught properly. Most children describe what they see. Top scorers describe what they feel, hear, smell and sense — with precise, original language that makes examiners stop and read again. The Description Clinic teaches exactly that. Through targeted video lessons and four marked assignments, your child learns to build atmosphere, use the senses purposefully, choose words with precision and create writing that feels alive on the page. Each assignment is returned with a personalised Editor’s Review — a detailed video from Joycellyn working through the piece line by line. Includes: Expert video tutorials • 4 marked assignments • Editor’s Review within 48 hours • Model answers For children in Years 4–6 whose writing is correct but lacks vividness or originality. Also ideal for independent school entrance exam preparation.

The Persuasion Clinic

Emails, letters, arguments, speeches — your child will learn to write with purpose, structure and real conviction. Transactional writing tests a completely different skill from creative writing — and many children are caught off guard. Writing a formal letter, a persuasive email or a balanced argument requires structure, register and the ability to anticipate objections. The Persuasion Clinic teaches all of this directly and efficiently. Your child learns to open with impact, build an argument logically, vary persuasive techniques and close with conviction. Four marked assignments cover the most common transactional formats in 11 Plus and independent school exams. Each returned with a personalised Editor’s Review within 48 hours. Includes: Expert video tutorials • 4 marked assignments • Editor’s Review within 48 hours • Model answers For children in Years 4–6 who struggle with letters, emails, speeches or arguments. Also ideal for independent school exam preparation.

The Recount Clinic

Recount writing looks simple. Done well, it is one of the most impressive things a child can submit. A strong recount is not simply a retelling of events. It has a point of view, a voice, carefully chosen detail and a sense of the writer behind the words. The Recount Clinic teaches your child to move beyond plain retelling into writing that genuinely engages the reader — the kind an examiner marks up, not down. Four assignments, four personalised Editor’s Reviews, and video lessons breaking down exactly what strong recount writing looks like under exam conditions. Includes: Expert video tutorials • 4 marked assignments • Editor’s Review within 48 hours • Model answers For children in Years 4–6 who find recount tasks dull or lose marks on personal experience, news report or diary entry tasks.

The Story Clinic

Your child is sitting down to write a story and does not know where to start. This fixes that. The Story Clinic is a focused course that teaches your child exactly how to plan, open, build and end a story that an examiner remembers. In just four marked assignments, your child will move from writing stories that are competent to writing stories that stand out. Each assignment is returned with a personalised Editor's Review — a detailed video from Joycellyn going through the work line by line. What's included: - Expert video tutorials on story writing technique - 4 writing assignments with personalised video marking - Editor's Review returned within 48 hours - Model answers for each task For children in Years 4–6 preparing for grammar school or independent school 11 Plus exams.
