Show More

Children can join these classes at any time of the year and classes can be purchased in blocks of 6 (we recommend 12 lessons to complete the program). This course is designed to refine children’s handwriting abilities and allows them to progress with their writing at their own pace.

It teaches neat, cursive handwriting in a simple and logical way, using a step-by-step approach. There are minimum curls and loops with absolutely no ‘lead-in’ flicks, which often confuse and slow down speed. These classes are also great for top up lessons after completing our weekly Intensive workshop.
