Over a 1-month long masterclass for Years 7-8, I'll teach your kids how to achieve a 20/20 English Essay, or give your money back.
Meet Kieren, your new writing mentor
Welcome to my masterclass! My name's Kieren, and I'm here to remove all the mystery from good writing. My goal is to transform the ambiguity of English into dead-simple formulas that any student can follow to write a 100% scoring English essay.
A bit about me:
Graduated with High Honours in Comparative Literature from Harvard University
1st in English Advanced in the HSC at my high school in Sydney
Published in The Sydney Morning Herald, the Age, and other leading publications
I've taught hundreds of students across Australia how to master English writing over the past 5 years. I've been in your kids' shoes and I know the system inside out. And now, I'd love to invite you to join my masterclass to "Break the Code" of essay writing.
Testimonial: "Kieren showed me I can do better than I expected. He's always motivating me and cares about how I'm doing ... In my last assessment I came first in the year, but the term before I was in the middle of my class. I know if I follow the rules we did together I'll keep improving." Year 8 student, Sydney Grammar School
Revealing the hidden code behind full mark English essays
After analysing thousands of top-scoring essays, I put together the patterns they follow and converted this into a series of easy to learn formulas.
I believe English should be the most straight forward of all the subjects.
But in reality, most students find English to be their most unpredictable class. They don't know what they need to change to achieve top marks. Some students spend hours just staring at a blank page.
The thing is, most students never get taught HOW to write. They just get the same instructions again and again of analysing the text closely and thinking of what the deeper message of the book they're reading is. Before students can develop a love for studying literature, they need to know the fundamentals of how to write.
The fact is, there are unwritten rules for how to produce a 100% scoring English essay in school.
I'm here to reveal this code and give my students a foolproof method that anyone can follow. English can be your kids' best subject, they just need someone to show them how to do it.
Testimonial: "Since my daughter started learning from Kieren, she finally likes English. She's always been great at mathematics but English was her weakest subject. Now she's more confident and she's moved to the top class at school for English." Mother of a Year 9 student, Abbotsleigh School Sydney
BREAK THE ENGLISH CODE
In my masterclass, we'll cover simple formulas for how to:
Write thesis statements that always answer the essay question to ensure you don't leave any marks on the table
Create analytical arguments that stun your teachers
Engage deeply with universal themes like love, prejudice, betrayal
Structure a succinct essay to achieve full marks
Analyse and embed quotes from the text
Use language techniques and features that show the marker you're an A range student
Write with sophistication, flair and confidence
Many more step-by-step guides and checklists that simplify the essay writing process
