Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the classes?

Classes meet once a week for one to two hours, depending on your child's level. Groups are deliberately kept small, three to six students, so the teacher can give every writer individual feedback on each draft.

How soon will my child make progress?

Each child learns at a different speed. We encourage you to keep your child in the program for at least three months. That is long enough to see a real change in how they plan, draft and revise, and it shows in the portfolio of writing they build with us.

Will Genie Academy conflict with the way my child is taught at school?

No. Genie Academy complements schoolwork. Children practise the same kinds of writing they are assigned at school (narrative, descriptive, expository and persuasive) with far more feedback than a busy classroom allows, so school essays and writing assignments become easier.

How soon can my child get started?

Getting started is easy. Call us at 609-288-2290 or come in for a free assessment. Sign up now, and we will start with a free assessment of your child’s writing.
