Whether you are looking to try English Ninjas out or searching for a programme that works (and is fun) for your child, look no further! At English Ninjas, we believe that every child has an innate desire to learn and that our role is to nurture that desire.
Our holiday workshops are designed to be boosters for students who would like some extra support to reach their goals but are not a replacement for a consistent and structured programme. The workshops provide structure that give students the confidence that they can continue to learn and apply what they have learnt.
*Our workshops are held at Bukit Timah.
This workshop focuses on a structured approach to planning an effective storyline and capturing the storyline vividly.
We will be using the PSLE Composition Writing Syllabus for this workshop.
