iWrite Programme


Learning to write for exams - the smart way!

Weekly classes for Primary 3 – 6 students



We firmly believe in going beyond the conventional memorisation of "creative phrases" , to emphasize on the teaching of skills necessary for writing while in the process, challenge students to be critical thinkers who are able to soundly evaluate ideas. With this progressive approach, students are nurtured to be thinking-writers who will be equipped with thinking and writing skills which will be beneficial, even beyond the primary-school years.


With our experience in conducting writing programmes in schools such as St Andrews Junior, Marymount Convent,Red Swastika School and Ai Tong School as well as our close collaboration with teachers, we have an excellent understanding of the requirements of the schools for the composition-writing exams.


Our programme is designed to prepare students for the composition exam by adopting a strategies-based approach. Students are equipped with the knowledge of the necessary writing techniques which can be applied to every writing topic.


In an all-encompassing approach which is required for the instruction of writing, content, grammar and vocabulary components are incorporated in our programme which include the following:


  1. How to write?
    Students are brought through the necessary components to create the content for an interesting story, in a structured manner.

  2. What to write?
    The programme further enhances students' writing using our customised lists of vocabulary and grammatical structures tailored for the exams,

  3. What NOT to write?
    The programme incorporates our understanding of common students' flaws in writing and teachers' feedback to educate and remind students of the common pitfalls, in terms of content and language, when writing for the exams.


Students are grouped according to their writing-abilities so as to cater to the differing needs of students in each ability group. Currently, there are two ability groups available – Gifted Writers and Able Writers.

Our Gifted Writers programme caters to both GEP and mainstream Higher-Ability students. With an emphasis on sophisticated writing styles to produce unique content as well higher-order vocabulary, the challenging programme seeks to further enhance the writing standards of writers who already have attained above-average writing proficiency.

For the Able Writers programme , it focuses on the introduction of the main narrative writing components and the expansion of content for each of the writing component. A major emphasis is the ensuring of story coherency as well as meaningful expansion of the story’s main event.


For both the Gifted Writers and the Able Writers, the programme is designed in a structured and progressive manner at a pace which suits the abilities of the students.
