English Ninjas' Composition Writing Framework
What Makes A Successful Composition?
Our ABC-DEF composition writing techniques can help your child to hone his/her writing skills.
PLAN:
When applying the ABC method, we teach your child how to start when planning a good composition. We train your child to use our in-house effective composition writing techniques that are related to structure, ideas and critical thinking to set him/her on the right path even before they start writing.
WRITE:
Next, after deciding on an effective storyline, your child will apply the DEF method with a structure using a range of literacy techniques to build up his/her descriptions, insightful use of up-pitched vocabulary and good use of grammar to make his/her story interesting.
Our proven method of looking at HOW
to use writing techniques, not just WHAT
the techniques are, has helped many of our students improve his/her writing skills. We do analysis of composition writing techniques in class and look at HOW to implement such techniques effectively.
We are not only interested in creating students who do well academically, we are interested in nurturing students who are thinkers and learners for the rest of their lives.

Hear What Our Parents Have Been Saying
With more than 20 years of experience teaching in government schools, top tuition centres and tertiary education, Ms Esther specialises in making learning fun, effective and engaging for students. She has been running her own enrichment and tuition centres for over ten years, first under The Education Advocates, and now, English Ninjas Enrichment and Tuition Centre.
Ms Esther's many years of experience has equipped her with insight into what makes an impact in the long run. She has seen that rote learning and memorising does not benefit the student, but instead, students who are confident learners and thinkers are effective, no matter what they do. At the O Levels, A Levels, the IB programme and beyond, the ability to think critically, analyse logically and communicate effectively are key ingredients to being successful.
This understanding is at the heart of what we do and practice here at English Ninjas.
Debunking Myths of English Language as a Subject:
Myth 1: Memorising word lists and model compositions/essays will improve my child's writing.
Pure memorisation limits creativity, understanding, and adaptability in composition writing. Relying solely on memorised information, students struggle to adapt to unfamiliar titles and pictures in the composition component. True learning involves thinking critically and logical analysis to creating original storylines for good and effective composition writing. Our proprietary ABC-DEF Composition Writing Method provides the structure for students to become confident writers who are able to think and create independently.
Myth 2: Doing past year papers and assessment books will benefit my child.
Blindly attempting practice papers or Ten Years' Series does little to help students at their major exams like the PSLE and O Levels, and does not encourage true learning. The catalyst for learning is analysis that leads to understanding - a process that is crucial for higher grades ad for creating lifelong impact. Our comprehensive approach nurtures thinkers AND provides academic success by sparking curiosity through class discussions on diverse current affairs.
Myth 3: We speak good English at home, why isn't my child doing well in the subject?
Proficiency in speaking does not reflect mastery in Writing, Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary, Listening, and Critical Analysis. Achieving academic success in English is determined by these comprehensive abilities.
Myth 4: My child reads a lot, but why isn't he/she writing and speaking well?
Most students read for entertainment. This means that they may not pay attention to language features in the story. To truly excel and master the language, students need to learn to use what they know effectively. There is a need to process and connect their knowledge through writing, critical thinking, logical analysis, vocabulary usage, and comprehension - all essential for academic success.
