‘My daughter took a brilliant writing course for DofE – great writing tasks and fantastic, in depth and helpful feedback from Jacqueline. Highly recommended.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duke of Edinburgh Creative Writing Course parent<\/strong>:
‘I just wanted to say thanks for the amazing feedback for [my daughter’s] tasks – I was not expecting anything so detailed and thoughtful. Much appreciated! She\u2019s enjoying the work, I think it\u2019s a great thing for her to do.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I am an Assessor for the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze, Silver and Gold Skills section<\/strong> and offer Creative Writing Correspondence Courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distance-learning course gives the opportunity for students to write imaginatively and then receive encouraging feedback<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Thanks so much for everything, it\u2019s been a really challenging course and I think has really pushed [her] to create some great work! You have given some brilliant, thoughtful feedback. We\u2019re really grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample session<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


<\/strong>The first six weeks comprise extracts to read<\/strong>, perhaps with a short skill activity<\/strong>, and then a linked creative writing prompt <\/strong>with written feedback <\/strong>notes after each session. After the sixth session, I do a recorded <\/strong>feedback to review the writing so far and to look at next steps. The following six weeks then focus on improving writing style<\/strong>, but otherwise follow a similar format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each session should take an hour to complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

All options are excellent support for the English GCSEs<\/strong> and previous students have seen their grades improve, as well as their enjoyment of writing and creative thought. I have also had students return to do the course for their Silver D of E as well – the course changes so it can be done more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 correspondence sessions and individual feedback each week: package price of \u00a3149<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reserve or for more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
