Crafting Authentic Essays

Beyond Memorization: Building Your Essay Instinct

Conventional approaches encourage memorization, often leaving students with templates they can’t truly comprehend. Our workshop invites participants to go back to basics, understanding the fundamental building blocks of essay writing and empowering them to create personalized templates aligned with their unique voice and understanding. It’s about unlocking the innate essay instinct within each learner, moving beyond mere memorization to genuine comprehension and application.

Is this workshop for you?

This workshop is for students who:

  • have achieved at least an intermediate level of English. That is because this workshop focuses on teaching writing skills for those who need to achieve a test score equivalent to advanced (Cambridge Advanced C1, IELTS 7, PTE 65, etc.)
  • are interested in becoming advanced speakers, who can independently perform tasks in English without the ‘help’ of translators and AI.
  • love to chat, discuss ideas, join in the conversation and give their opinions. It’s for those who no longer want to be quiet when everybody else is talking. It’s for those who do not want to be afraid of saying the wrong thing or who do not want to frustrate other people who are failing to understand them.
  • want to understand and participate in what is going on around them, who want to feel comfortable where they live and work.

We believe that if you know English, you can pass any test.
