How lessons work
- Live on Zoom with a shared whiteboard
- We start with what's happening at school this week
- We read together, then write, and edit straight away while the ideas are fresh
- A progress note to you and a practice sheet after every lesson
Writing gets extra attention: it's where many primary students lose confidence.
We teach families across Canberra, including Red Hill, Griffith, Kingston, Forrest and Narrabundah, plus Queanbeyan and anywhere in Australia online.
