Our Writers Club classes are online only. This gives you greater flexibility to fit the classes around your child’s other extracurricular activities. Our students join us from all over the world, including New Zealand, the United Kingdom and South Korea. Not only is your child learning important writing skills and improving their writing ability, they also have the opportunity to connect with peers from other countries. This value-add wouldn’t be possible in a face-to-face class setting.
Throughout the year, we also run some face-to-face (and virtual) community events. These events help to bring our likeminded community together.
The Writers Club is an ongoing, long-term program. Each term costs $462. We charge this as three monthly payments of $154 paid by direct debit. You’ll provide your direct debit details as part of the enrolment process so you don’t need to worry about making payments throughout the term. Unless you cancel for the following term, your direct debit payments will continue. There is also a once-off registration fee of AUD $75.
The fee includes weekly live and interactive zooms with a FunFox trained teacher and all class recordings. During the school holidays, the students can also join our relaxed open office hours to focus on revision or other student needs.
Yes! The Writers Club was developed by a team led by an Australian teacher to ensure that the program will support and align with your child’s classroom learning. While the program aligns with the Australian curriculum, if you live outside of Australia, you’re also welcome to join the Writers Club.
We limit each writing tutoring class to a minimum of three and a maximum of six students. From experience we know this is the perfect number to allow for a variety of learning tools, such as small group work. This class size is also ideal for individual feedback from the teacher and opportunities for collaboration between the students.
Each week at FunFox follows a similar format but no two lessons are the same! Your child will complete their lesson preparation before their lesson. This ensures they can actively participate in their class. Then, they’ll join the Zoom lesson and spend one hour in a small group, teacher-led class.
We provide all the materials that your child will need for their lessons. In the classes we play games, do practical activities and share our work with each other. We also provide process-based feedback that helps the students to continually improve.
Once the term has started, we close off new enrolments for our classes. Each lesson throughout the term builds on the previous weeks so it’s not fair to the student to try and catch up.
However, in this case we do offer 1:1 tutoring, at a fee of AUD $60 per hour, for the remainder of the term. This 1:1 attention ensures that your child will be ready to join the Writers Club the following term.
In the Writers Club we teach technical elements of writing such as punctuation, spelling and grammar. We help the students to broaden their vocabulary and learn new ways of creative expression through words. Depending on their school level, we also introduce them to different genres. They learn how to create characters, settings and plots, and bring it all together in a concise and articulate way.
Some students join the Writers Club because they are already strong writers and want to challenge themselves. Others do so because they need more support than their classroom teacher can provide. This is why our small class sizes are so important. Our teachers take the time to get to know your child. They assess where they’re at with their writing and tailor their activities and feedback to address any issues or challenges. Depending on their school level, we also introduce them to different genres. They learn how to create characters, settings and plots, and bring it all together in a concise and articulate way.
Yes! Before the start of each term, we run a free trial writing tutoring class that’s just like a Writers Club class. The trial classes have more students in them than a regular Writers Club class but that’s the only difference.
