Premium Creative Writing Accelerator

The short answer is 'a process of consistent and continuous improvement'.

In that formula, the degree of consistency (how often you practise) and the quality of each step of improvement (the improvement in each practice session) make the difference in the end result.

First the good news. Broadly, there is little distinction between the talents of children. Malcolm Gladwell's book 'Outliers: The Story of Success' is a well researched source to understand success.

In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains that children born right after an academic cutoff date—making them the oldest in their school year—gain a massive, permanent advantage called the “Relative Age Effect”.

In early childhood, a maturity gap of 9 to 12 months is immense. Older children are physically, socially, and cognitively more developed than their younger peers. The core problem is that educators routinely mistake this temporary “developmental maturity” for “inherent talent”.

This mistake triggers the “Matthew Effect” (from the Biblical idea 'For to everyone who has will more be given'), where initial advantages compound over time:

Tracking: Older kids are labeled “gifted” and placed into advanced streams.

Resources: They receive better instruction, extra encouragement, and tougher material.

The Result: By high school and college, a meaningless birth-month advantage transforms into a real, permanent gap in actual achievement.

And so we see evidence of the secret to excellence: consistency - i.e. more games, and improvement, in each game they get better coaching.

That small advantage at 5 years old, continuously accrues as a result of the system structure into a life long advantage.

Once you are aware of these systemic features, as a parent you can set aside your doubts about your child's abilities, and focus on measures to deliver adequate and suitable resources.

The current solution is to throw resources at your child. That consists of schools, tutors and parents. The unvarnished truth is that children who outperform peers have substantially more teaching resources.

Most children go to school. Some schools have smaller numbers per class room, however that is not the most material distinction.

Most parents attempt to support their child through private tuition. Tutors have a wide range of prices and quality. Of course, as with most industries, the higher priced tutors are expected to be more effective, however, even at the higher price range, quality is not guaranteed.

The most successful children have parents who directly support their kids. The more parental support the better. At the very top schools it is not unusual to see both parents invest time in directly engaging with their children.

And so it is easy to see why some kids are more likely to succeed than others. The degree of resources that determine how much 'practice' they get and secondly the quality of resources.

We have sought to optimise both.

We have redesigned the system.

We threw out the legacy education map to reinvent it using the latest teaching techniques, neuroscience and AI. Instead, we broke learning down into 20 minute, daily sessions, gamified to be fun, building advanced vocabulary fast and correcting errors with each session. And the result is a smoother, faster learning experience.

That makes engagement accessible to any parent, regardless of their background.

We use AI to deliver the high quality language and techniques that you would expect from the best teachers.

And we use technology to deliver it to your home, so that 20 minutes per day is convenient for you.

Our goal is to make elite education more widely accessible, and to make education more enjoyable for children.

This platform is suitable for kids between 5 and 10 years old.

For kids working towards the 7+ and 8+ exams, it is highly valuable as a tool to rapidly accelerate their progress towards these challenging exams.

Children working towards the 11+ may find it useful in building a strong foundation of vocabulary and ironing out key weaknesses that lose marks.

Beyond examinations, its goal is to imbue young writers with confidence, by rapidly improving their writing skill. This in turn will lead to an increase in self-esteem and so will set them on the path to writing more frequently.

Assessment: We set each student a writing task.

On-boarding Call: We will have a 15 minute on-boarding call with the parent to discuss the assessment and identify which aspects of the platform are suitable for their goals. If the platform is not suitable for your child, then you may cancel participation and you will receive a full refund.

Daily Sessions: The InkGenius.Tech system schedules a daily 20 minute session, via video conference and logged onto the platform. Each session guides the student through exercises that improve aspects of their writing or exercises to address weaknesses that have been identified.

Feedback: Once every four weeks, parents are invited to discuss their child's progress.

Continue Improving: Once the trial ends, if you find the InkGenius.Tech approach useful, you can stay subscribed and continue improving your child's writing.

We offer a Two Week Free Trial. Your will need to provide your credit card details to our payment system to process our standard monthly charges, but will receive a full refund, no questions asked, if you decide not to proceed with the InkGenius.Tech system at the end of your two week trial.

Yes. The InkGenius.Tech system runs on an independent track, building up skills and correcting errors through daily sessions.

Other teaching resources, such as school or tutors will not interfere with the system, and the InkGenius.Tech platform should not have any effect on other learning resources.

The InkGenius.Tech Standard package costs £37.50 per week. That includes 24/7 access to the InkGenius.Tech platform to practise at any time, and Daily Sessions on each weekday.

Daily Sessions are split into two types of sessions: three Learning Sessions per week, where a group of students are guided through their tasks, and two Study Sessions per week, where students use the platform independently, with live assistance available should they get stuck.

It is an old idea. Famous scientists, theologians and philosophers have all expressed this view over centuries.

The reason is that it transforms an abstract idea into something real that we can see in print.

Once a proposition is put down on paper, it goes from intangible thought to tangible representation. That is something that can be grappled with, critiqued and amended.

It makes ideas accountable. No longer is it possible to say "that's not what I meant", for it is now down on paper in black and white.

That forces the author to take time to ensure it is clear and logical; that it has a structure and a purpose; that it means what they had intended to convey.

That process forces thought.

Becoming an expert at writing transforms you into a formidable person. You become proficient at conveying thoughts clearly, whether it is in essays in high school or in internal memos at work or when engaging in public speaking.

Like any skill, no one is born with it, but rather repeated practice from an early age leads to mastery.
