Grammar School Stage 2 Creative Writing Course – Unlimited 3-Month Access with Personalised Video Marking


The Grammar School Stage 2 Creative Writing Course is designed for children sitting the toughest grammar school exams, where strong writing skills make the difference between success and disappointment.


Unlike generic tuition or one-off practice papers, this course gives your child:


  • Step-by-step video lessons covering every skill needed for Stage 2 creative writing - from structuring stories to mastering description and avoiding common pitfalls.

  • Unlimited personalised video marking for 3 months - your child can submit as many pieces of writing as they like, whether from the course, past papers, or school homework. Each piece is marked with detailed video feedback so they know exactly how to improve.

  • Exam-focused strategies to manage time, avoid traps, and produce sharp, polished writing under pressure.


Why parents choose this course:


  • Feedback comes directly from Joycellyn Akuffo — a senior journalist and founder of Geek School Tutoring, with over a decade of experience helping children gain entry to schools like St Olave’s, Wilson’s, Nonsuch and Henrietta Barnett.

  • Unlimited submissions mean your child won’t miss out on feedback when it matters most.

  • The 3-month access ensures focused, intensive preparation in the run-up to exams.


At just £845, this course offers the structure, feedback, and expertise of months of private tuition - at a fraction of the cost.


Your child has 3 months of unlimited writing support. That’s enough time to completely transform their writing skills and walk into the exam with confidence.
