We aim perfect A*!
Our IGCSE English Writing course is designed to help students excel in all key writing formats required for exam success. Through structured lessons, we cover commentary essay writing, teaching students to analyze texts critically and craft well-supported arguments. You’ll learn to identify key themes, literary devices, and structural techniques to write insightful, high-scoring commentaries.
The course also focuses on transactional writing, equipping students with the skills to write persuasive letters, reports, speeches, and articles in a clear, audience-appropriate style. We break down mark schemes and teach precise techniques to meet examiners’ expectations. Additionally, our descriptive/imaginary writing module helps students develop vivid, engaging narratives with rich vocabulary and creative flair.

Through expert-led lessons, timed drills, and real exam practice, students build mastery. We track progress consistently to ensure steady score improvement toward 2400.
Our IGCSE English Writing Core course equips students with essential skills to master all key writing formats, from analytical commentaries to creative narratives. Through structured lessons, you’ll learn to craft compelling arguments, adapt your style for different audiences, and bring descriptions to life with vivid language.
We focus on three core areas: commentary writing (developing critical analysis of texts), transactional writing (mastering formal letters, reports and speeches), and descriptive/imaginary writing (building creative expression and stylistic flair). Each module breaks down examiner expectations and scoring criteria.
