Our philosophy

The learner

No two people are the same, so it stands to reason no two learners are the same either. Each learner has his or her own reasons for learning and ways to study. In fact, even knowing how to learn is a skill. And this is why The English Writer believes in giving space to the individual. In our paid-for-courses, you will have opportunities for personalised feedback looking at your unique learning needs and by joining our 'Community' page, you can even ask questions and share your own learning experiences.

The tutor

'Teaching' is no guarantee of learning. Someone may tell you something, but that does not always mean you learnt it or understand it. The teacher (or tutor) should be responsive to the individual and what they need. This means working together with the learner to support the learner's progress.
