SUMMER TERM 2023
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SKYROCKET YOUR CHILD’S WRITING SKILLS?
The STORY WRITING COURSE is designed for both young aspiring and reluctant writers alike. It will give your child a solid foundation in the creative writing skills they need for 11+ exams – and beyond!
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your child reads a lot but can’t write an engaging story from start to finish
- Your child has worked through all the grammar worksheets and vocabulary flashcards yet their stories are dull and uninteresting
- Your child needs more support with their writing but you can’t remember the last time you sat down to write creatively and feel helpless
And with the pressure of 11+ exams looming… you’re wondering how your child is going to pass the 11+ paper?
Look no further!
The Story Writing Course will help your child ace their 11+ creative writing exams – and achieve more!
I created this course because I believe that all children can be taught to write well, whatever their level.
During the course, I teach the children to think like writers, so they can write like writers.
The result?
After 10 weeks of group tuition, your child will be able to craft a piece of compelling fiction!
No more boring stories!
The Story Writing Course is designed for both budding and reluctant writers alike. It will give your child a solid foundation in the writing skills required for 11+ exams – and beyond!
Through lively interactive lessons using a variety of engaging games and activities, your child will learn how to write short stories with confidence. We work hard and we play hard!
Your child will learn how to:
- create compelling characters
- write sensational settings
- develop story structure
- use figurative language
- structure super sentences
- learn writers’ tips and techniques
- and much more!
Here’s how it works:
A (fun!) assessment task is set before the course begins and you will receive regular written feedback on your child’s progress throughout the 10 weeks.
Homework is set weekly and is marked in detail.
Lessons are taught by Coriden Francis MA (Oxon).
All lessons take place on Zoom.
Class size is a maximum of six children.
Each session lasts 90 minutes.
By the end of the term, your child will be able to plan and write a short story with greater skill and confidence.
So what’s the investment for all this?
Cost: £450 for 10 weeks.
All learning materials and an initial assessment are included.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
Coriden really helped my daughter to excel at creative writing. Now I feel happier because my daughter is happier and has confidence in her writing skills. I’d highly recommend Coriden’s writing courses!
Just wanted to let you know that O has been offered places at our first choice independent school. He also received offers from the other schools we applied to! Thank you so much for your guidance and advice throughout the Story Writing Course!
Thank you for all your help and the amazing support you provided for H during 2020. You were really fantastic at delivering what is needed to ensure H passed the English 11+ exams without any of the pressure.
You went the extra mile during the Covid pandemic and gave your full commitment to ensure H’s was successful in achieving his goals.
It is obvious that this is far more than a business to you and you relish seeing your pupils achieve their full potential.
He was entered into 4 Grammar School 11+ entrance exams and he passed all of them achieving ranking in the top 2%.
We are ever grateful for your efforts and highly recommend Coriden English Tuition.
Many thanks for guiding my daughter through the course – you’re wonderful at what you do. I’m a very ‘ picky ‘ mum in selecting tutors so although the market is vast out there, you definitely stand out. My daughter will be joining you again next term!”
Although my son is a voracious reader, his writing skills have always been quite poor. When I came across Coriden, I wasn’t expecting miracles; I was hoping for a few tips and ideas to guide him. However, in just a few weeks, Coriden has magically transformed my son into a budding writer.
She’s done the impossible – for the first time, he believes that he can actually create a coherent, engaging piece of writing and this is more than I could have ever asked.
