About Writing Samurai
Hi there! Glad that you’ve stumbled upon my site. A little introduction – I am Jerry Lee, an English tutor, and the founder of WritingSamurai.com and Director of Grade Solution Learning Centre. WritingSamurai.com is dedicated to Creative Writing and English pre-recorded courses, while Grade Solution conducts live zoom classes for English, Creative Writing, Math, Science, and Chinese. You can think of Grade Solution Learning Centre as the parent company of WritingSamurai.com.
I started out as a fresh graduate, working in the engineering field to earn some money in order to start an online learning business. After scrimping and saving for 1.5 years, we bought over a tuition centre (located in Hougang), with an aim to make a push into the online education space in Singapore.
After much trial and error, we finally managed to build a website that would suit the needs of students. Yup, this is the website where you can let your child learn how to write with flair – Writing Samurai.com.
This site was created in 2016 as a means to teach students who stay too far away from my centre. Here, you can find useful resources and a couple of pre-recorded online courses that may suit your child’s needs.
Grade Solution Learning Centre used to have a few physical branches around Singapore. But we have since shut them down in 2021 and moved to 100% online to live lessons on zoom. Why? Our class sizes have grown so big that we can’t contain all the students in physical classes anymore! So if you prefer live zoom classes for the interaction and engagement, you can check out Grade Solution’s fees and schedules here.
Learn How to Write Awesome Compos Without Memorising Fancy Words or Phrases
The problem with Creative Writing tuition is this: The teacher will spend 15 mins explaining ‘good phrases’, another 15 mins brainstorming, and then the students will spend 1hr writing. During that 1hr, what is the teacher doing? (Probably just walking around playing ‘security guard’!) Think about it – your child is simply just writing the same way, using the same writing methods since lower primary days all the way till upper primary and beyond!
But there is a better way!
At Writing Samurai and Grade Solution Learning Centre, we developed the Writing Samurai Skills-Based Approach for learning writing and mastering English. Your child WILL NOT be writing compositions or memorising phrases. Instead, your child will learn specific writing skills like:
- How to develop your own ‘good phrases’
- How to write a curiosity-inducing introduction (about 7 different methods)
- How to build suspense
- How to end with impact
- How to vary your sentence structures for effect
- How to describe vividly
… and a lot more!
For examples on how we teach, you can also check out useful writing tips, notes, and cheatsheets on our blog.
More than 10,000 students have joined our online courses and Grade Solution Learning Centre serves over 2000 students monthly. Those students who apply our compo writing secrets see results in 3-5 months on average. Some of the faster learners have seen their marks jump within 1 month! We have both Primary English tuition and Secondary English tuition classes.
Now I won’t spend so much time convincing you about our teaching methods or effectiveness … you can see the results for yourself in our free model compositions ebooks. Or even better, go ahead and enroll your child for a 30 days FREE TRIAL in the online Creative Writing Master Class for P5& P6 (View) or the Little Writers Master Class for P3 &P4 (View).
Once again, welcome to our website, I hope you and your child learn something useful from it!
Enjoy!
Best Regards,
Jerry Lee
