Write on Q has helped me in so many ways! For me, just bringing my writing folder to school to create full essays, it has made a big impact on my writing knowledge. Every class I learn something new; each time something different and interesting. The homework is very constructive as well, every lesson is building on the previous one… expanding my knowledge. Write on Q has several components such as vocabulary, essay and/or paragraph writing, and public speaking. Each of the elements has developed my writing skills and presentation skills.

In addition, it not only sets me up for everyday life but for the future too. The teachers are so helpful and they help me understand everything. Every single teacher is unique and experienced, but they all work together to ensure everything is understood; and that you’re progressing greatly.

Our son, now in grade 7, completed the two-year Write on Q program in grades 4 and 5. Years later, he continues to benefit from the skills he learned in this program and its uniquely developed curriculum taught by passionate teachers. By nature, our son is quiet and shy and does not like to draw attention to himself. He is also a “reluctant writer”. However, after participating in Write on Q we have noticed considerable improvement in his ability to write and deliver oral presentations. For example, last year he surprised himself (and his parents) when he moved on to be a finalist in his Middle School speech contest. While admittedly, he still does not “enjoy” written assignments or speaking in front of a group, our son credits the skills he learned in Write on Q to help him write and speak more confidently. Thank you Write on Q! We will soon be enrolling his younger sister.

I have two children in the program, grade 4 and 6 respectively. Level one, this past year has been a huge success, With the added bonus that both children thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum. We saw a huge improvement in both writing and communication skills. Their public speaking skills have soared along with their vocabulary. The intensity of homework given, was fair and did not dominate their other priorities. The teachers were flexible and accommodating. I was quite impressed with the director Fatima. Her dedication, passion and knowledge was exemplary and obvious. Her personal touch towards all her students goes above and beyond. We look forward to this September and the level 2 program. I highly recommend Write on Q!

“I started Write on Q in Grade 7, and finished at the end of Grade 8.

I can state that it is a great program, because I was the only one who won the English award at my school for the entire grade (150 students) based on my research, writing and presentation skills. Thanks, Write on Q! At first, I wasn’t sure why my mom enrolled me in this program, but I soon realized that we are learning how to read, synthesize, improve our vocabulary, write an essay, present in front of my peers, learn poetry and classical literature. I was impressed, and although I did find it challenging at times, I was pleased with myself that I was accomplishing so much. More importantly, we were learning to write effectively and practice our presentation skills, and I saw that we were not learning this enough in school, so I became very proficient at writing and presenting. Now in Grade 9, I get great marks in English. I am confident when it comes to doing research, writing, and presenting in class. Some of my classmates are very nervous because they are not prepared, and stress every time there is a paper or report to write. I look to help them because this is not a good feeling to have and now realize that my mom was right by enrolling me. I am also thankful for having attended WOQ for two years. This year I am a WOQ Volunteer Tutor, helping a new set of students who will become skilled and passionate about writing.”

This is a great program that helps kids organize ideas in logical structure in both writing and oral presentation. The writing skills taught in this program are much more advanced than similar topics covered by public or private schools based on our experience. These skills brought significant value to my son’s learning at school and contributed to his enrollment into the mid year IB program.
