Academic English Mastery

Academic Writing Classes for Kids 

Writing enrichment program helps students in grades 5-10 jump from intermediate to advanced writing, raise grades in every subject, and uncover their true potential.

I'm happy to share with you that Deliza has been selected as the class Valedictorian this year. We thank you for the support she’s received through this class that we believe has contributed to her growth.

Deliza, a grade 8 student in Brampton, Ontario, completed two levels in the AEM system. During the course, we did not work on any school assignments. We focused on core essay skills, resolved a variety of grammar problems, and expanded her range of sentence structures. The skills she learned during the course were 100% transferrable to her schoolwork.
Congratulations, Deliza!

Many smart students underperform on writing. Even if their ideas are good, they’re not able to effectively organize or communicate them. As a result, their marks don’t reflect their true potential. When students master the fundamentals of writing, they can finally show you what they can really accomplish.    

For over 25 years, AEM Academy has been helping students unlock the secrets of great writing and get FAR ahead of their peers in every subject, even if they are currently struggling with writing. 

The AEM Academic Writing Program focuses on foundational writing skills required for top grades in EVERY subject:

  • Essays: The essay is the most important writing format that students need to master for top grades, but most students have only been taught the vague “hamburger” model of writing. Instead, we teach a highly detailed essay framework that removes all guesswork about how to structure and develop ideas. 
  • Complex Sentences: Most students use a limited variety of sentence structures, which results in choppy writing and ideas that don’t always flow smoothly. To give kids the flexibility and range they need, our program ensures children master the complete complex sentence system. 
  • Grammar Foundations: Grades increase on EVERY assignment when students avoid distracting problems like run-ons, fragments, and subject-verb agreement errors. 
  • Pro Writing Workflows: Successful students don’t just sit down and start writing. They know that what you do before you start writing is more important than what you do after you start writing. Our process-based approach to writing ALWAYS leads to better results because it breaks down writing into distinct stages. As a result, students only focus on one task at a time, which reduces cognitive load and leads to better quality. This is a process first taught by orators like Cicero over 2000 years ago but updated for today’s students.

"Mr. Jan's teaching worked miracles on my language skills. All the advice and his teaching methods, especially the T.R.E.E.S. paragraph format, improved my writing skills significantly... I was able to score 95% in English this year, all thanks to him."

Saheli J. went from 60s in grade 8 ESL to 90s in grade 9. She now earns higher grades than most of her classmates and is a top-ranked student.

Congratulations, Saheli!

Give your child a major competitive advantage so they can get where they need to go. To see if this program is right for you, book a free in-depth writing assessment.

  1. We'll go over a sample of your child's writing in depth. This can be an assignment that was completed for school, or you can use one of the provided prompts so that we can see what your child can write without any teacher assistance.
  2. You'll see the level of feedback we provide using our unique colour-coding system and detailed comments. This helps us track issues related to content development, cohesion, vocabulary, and grammar. As a result, we often find that students have FEWER writing problems than teachers think - it's often the same problems with a common root.
  3. I'll provide explanations, solutions, and resources that will result in immediate improvement. Often, students' low writing marks are the result of a fundamental misunderstanding about essay content or structural requirements, and the solution is straightforward.
  4. You'll see exactly how the program works, so you can decide whether it would meet your needs.

How the Program Works

Why students struggle with writing:

  • 1. They don’t receive direct instruction. From talking to hundreds of parents, teachers, principals, and school board officials, it's clear that very few students are actually taught the rules of grammar or essay writing. Teachers hope that students will just figure out these rules from reading, but this doesn't work, and students needlessly struggle for years. 

My daughter is stressed because she's struggling with writing. She can't express her ideas the way she wants to.

Leah, the mom of a grade 6 student at a prestigious private school in Toronto, described an unfortunately common situation: The teacher doesn't believe that students should be taught the rules of writing at a young age, even if the students desperately want to learn them! As a result, in grade 6, her daughter has no concept of what a paragraph is. A short report she wrote had no cohesive elements whatsoever: no introduction, no topic sentences, no unity of ideas within paragraphs, no conclusion... What's worse is that she is stuck with the same teacher until grade 8. Imagine paying $37,000 per year to not learn how to write.
Meanwhile, kids in grade 5 in Texas, New York, and Florida are writing five-paragraph essays with counterarguments and refutations! In the AEM program, we teach these sophisticated writing concepts to children as young as grade 5. By grade 6, our students have stronger writing skills than most high school students.
  • 2. They don’t get enough practice. Experts recommend at least 30 minutes per day, but fewer than 30% of students get this much practice at school.
  • 3. They don’t receive detailed or timely feedback. Many teachers who provide enough time to write only do a completion check, or they return assignments a month after they're handed in. This doesn't help.
  • 4. They aren’t required to do anything with the feedback. Feedback is ignored when it's inconsequential. It goes in one ear and out the other.

Unfortunately, they don’t do much LA [Language Arts] work at school. The writing that she does in school doesn't come home and her teacher doesn't mark it often. We only get to know the letter grade for the subject when the report card comes home end of the year without much reference as to why or how it was assigned. It's a teacher issue and she had the same teacher last year as well, so she is at a disadvantage in that sense.

Sara, the mom of a grade 8 student in the AEM program, echoed a common complaint by parents about the amount of writing their children do in school as well as the frequency and quality of feedback they receive.

AEM Academy uses a completely different approach. Our students get outstanding results because we focus on timeless fundamentals based on the science of learning:

1) Direct Instruction

Most students have never been taught the rules of grammar and even fewer have been taught how to write a wide variety of complex sentence forms. In terms of essays, most students have been taught the "hamburger" model of writing, but it's so vague that it's nearly useless. This program bridges that enormous gap in their understanding of grammar and essay writing.

  • Essay and report structures: Students master detailed paragraph, report, and essay frameworks that remove all guesswork about how to structure and develop ideas. Reading speed and comprehension also benefit when students understand how texts are structured, which makes it easy to find information and score higher on comprehension tasks.
  • Complex sentences mastery: Students learn over 20 commonly used sentence structures and how to assemble them like Legos. Reading speed and comprehension also improve when students finally see how ideas in long sentences are connected.
  • Grammar mastery: Grades increase on EVERY assignment when students avoid run-ons, fragments, and subject-verb agreement errors.
  • Writing workflows: Students follow a process-based approach to writing that ALWAYS leads to better results: Analyze, Brainstorm, Chunk - Check - Chuck, Develop, Edit. Pros don't just sit down and start writing. They know that what you do before you start writing is more important than what you do after you start writing.

2) Practice and Assessment

The AEM program is designed to maximize opportunities to write with detailed feedback and revisions. As a result, students improve quickly. It is impossible to deliver this level of training in a traditional classroom or tutoring setting.

  • Students attend a weekly online class. They learn the fundamentals of grammar, complex sentence structure, idea development, supporting ideas with evidence, and essay composition. We write a 5-paragraph essay over 3-4 classes, following our process-based approach to writing (this is how professionals approach writing tasks):
  • In the first class, we introduce a new writing topic. We brainstorm ideas, cover background information, examine evidence for both sides (especially data, which is the "gold standard" for proof in academic writing), and generate arguments (including counterarguments and refutations). 
  • In the second class, we structure our ideas by developing an outline. This step is crucial for making sure ideas flow clearly and avoiding gaps in our explanations. As well, we ensure that all ideas are supported by specific examples and evidence (this is the key difference between "casual" and "academic" writing).
  • In the third and fourth classes, we transform the outline into a draft, which is then revised several times. Here, the focus is on refining how ideas are expressed and connected.
  • We also cover the complete complex sentence curriculum. There are roughly two dozen sentence forms that appear frequently even in children's literature. We draw attention to these forms and students practice using them through unique, custom-designed exercises. This massively expands students' repertoire of complex sentence structures, allowing them to express their ideas with much greater flexibility.
  • Students complete 3 writing assignments per class, which they submit between classes through a user-friendly interface that keeps student writing and teacher feedback perfectly organized. 
  • Assignments include 1) detailed descriptive writing & summarizing and paraphrasing of key background information, which is 95% of what students need to do to be successful in school; 2) complex sentence combining, the "secret sauce" that makes the most difference to the quality of writing at the sentence level; 3) paragraph/essay composition (how to organize, develop, and extend ideas).
  • Learning to write requires timely feedback. Students always receive their feedback the next day before 8 AM. This keeps writing concepts top-of-mind and prevents bad habits from taking hold.
  • Detailed comments are colour-coded by error type, which makes it easy to identify error patterns across assignments: This allows us to track content issues (development, detail, and clarity), cohesion issues (organization of ideas and use of transitions), word choice (accuracy and variety), and grammar (accuracy and sentence structure range).
  • After students receive feedback, they revise their writing for additional rounds of feedback, corrections, and follow-up exercises to address skill gaps. If a teacher simply tells students how to fix a problem, they forget immediately, but if students correct a problem themselves, they're more likely to remember long term. There is no limit to the number of revisions students can complete, and teacher support is provided 7 days/week. As a result, students quickly master writing skills.

Thank you so much for your extraordinary writing classes! Andrew enjoys them very much. I am very grateful to you for making lessons engaging and high quality. I can see already how much improvement Andrew has in his way of thinking and writing.

Andrew Y. from Toronto, who is far ahead of elementary expectations, was bored at school. He is now taking his writing to the next level by learning how to brainstorm and plan effectively, incorporate rhetorical principles to make his writing more persuasive, support his arguments with evidence, and express his ideas more eloquently with a greater variety of sentence structures.

3) Spaced Repetition

  • It is not effective to teach a concept once and then move on to the next concept without reviewing those that came previously. The brain is not a computer – it requires repeated exposure to concepts and a great deal of practice before new learning gets into long term memory permanently. It is only at this point that knowledge is instantly accessible, which is the goal of education.

4) Interleaving

  • AEM Academy practice exercises are also very different from traditional worksheets, which tend to focus on one single learning goal (like a worksheet that has students change all the sentences from present tense to past tense). The problem with such blocked practice worksheets is that students will figure out the pattern after the first couple practice questions, and then their brain will go into autopilot mode as they complete the rest of the questions in the same way. In contrast, our exercises check students’ understanding of the current grammar concept being taught and review those taught before. 

As a result, AEM Academy students in elementary school have far stronger writing and research skills than most high school students and even many university students. 

I've been teaching writing since 2000. In that time, I have tutored over a thousand elementary, high school, and university students. As a certified teacher, I taught high school English for many years, and I set up and ran a large online school as head of elearning for a private school in Toronto. We were praised by the Ontario Ministry of Education for running the best writing program they had ever seen. 

The AEM system, in 3-12 months, will better prepare your child for high school and university writing than any other program on Earth. 

In terms of how [K.D.] is doing at school, I have definitely seen a remarkable improvement in her grades since taking your writing class, not just in ELA but in many other subjects. Not sure if she mentioned to you but she received honours in Grade 8 last school year, and this year in Grade 9 she has a really good chance to get highest honours (she is aiming to boost her core subject average to 90 or above). In ELA, they only do limited writing (so far they've done business letter and short stories) but I think the writing class really helped her with communicating clearly and concisely. Doing research for your essays and discussing a variety of topics with you during class I think has also helped her improve her reading comprehension, organizing her thoughts and developing interest in many subjects! So my husband and I are very grateful and appreciative of your guidance and support.

K.D. from Alberta started the program in 2023 in Level 3 at the beginning of grade 8. After a break, she completed Level 5 in late 2024 in grade 9. During the course, we did not work on any school assignments. The skills she learned during the course were 100% transferrable to her schoolwork.
In grade 9, K.D. is now writing at a higher level than most university students.

Congratulations, K.D.!

"B" and "A" students can easily turn into "A+" students.

I am excited to tell you that I got 94% in grade 10 English. I just received the marks and I want to thank you for teaching me English and helping me improve. 

Risari J. from Mississauga jumped from 80s to 90s after fixing several minor but persistent grammar issues, improving idea development, and learning a wider variety of sentence structures.

"C" students can easily turn into "A" students.

I finished with an 80 all thanks to you, sir!

Dramatic improvements in idea development, organization, grammatical accuracy, and sentence structure variety are easily achieved with focused instruction and detailed feedback. Mohammed S. from Mississauga went from 62% in grade 9 English to 80% in grade 10 English after completing ONE LEVEL in the AEM writing program.

Students as young as grade 5 who live in Quebec and receive nearly ZERO English writing instruction can master advanced writing skills.

All the practice that she did with you does help her a lot in English. I can see that in English class because she's helping other students to do the work. She's so strong that the teacher made her an assistant. After like fifteen minutes, she's finished her homework and most of her marks in English are like 100% every time, and the teacher said, ‘okay, in the meantime, can you help other students?’ Here in Montreal in private schools, they're very tough with a lot of homework. I know that English for her is a piece of cake. It was fantastic.

Mia, a grade 5 student who lives in Quebec and receives nearly ZERO English writing instruction, mastered advanced writing skills. For Mia, school has become easy and fun, and being a strong communicator has already led to leadership roles.

How does the writing assessment work?

For the writing assessment, I'll need to see an example of your child's writing. You can share an assignment that was completed for school, but it is more accurate to see what your child can produce without any help. When you complete the form, you'll receive a short list of prompts and instructions on how to submit the writing sample/s. Once you send in the writing sample/s, you'll receive a calendar link to set up a time for your Zoom call. Appointments are available throughout the week.

During the Zoom call, we'll go over your child's writing in depth, and you'll receive a personal demonstration of our unique writing system. There is no obligation to buy anything, and you'll learn several powerful strategies so that you can help your child on your own.

Do you accept children younger than grade 5?

We accept children as young as grade 3 in our Head Start Masterclass as long as they meet certain criteria. Please get in touch to find out more.

How long is the program?

AEM Masterclass is a 5-level system. Each level includes 16 classes over 4 months with 3 writing assignments per class and teacher feedback 7 days per week. Most students need 2-3 levels to master the system. Many parents choose to keep their child in the program longer because their child has minimal opportunities to write in school.

Completing even ONE level has a massive, transformative impact on a child's writing. Please get in touch for a complimentary writing assessment. You'll receive an in-depth analysis of your child's writing, and you'll have a chance to see exactly how the program works. 

The AEM writing system works perfectly for high pressure exams such as IELTS.

As a former examiner, I also help English Language Learners get the score they need on the IELTS exam, one of the toughest high-pressure academic English exams in the world. Our IELTS students include high school students from around the world, professionals seeking to immigrate to Canada, and doctors who need IELTS to practice medicine in Canada.

Our IELTS program focuses on the writing section of the exam. Writing is the most difficult part of the exam, and many people struggle for a long time even though they get high scores in all the other parts.

The writing system we teach is so easy to understand yet so powerful that many students get their target score after only a short period of training. Some reach their target score after ONE training session.

I want to thank you for all your help and support for the last four months!

WRITING BAND 7

I am extremely happy to share with you my IELTS result (attached). I got the scores that I needed, and it would not have been possible without your guidances.

I was skeptical about my writing test, as I could finish two essays critical timely. I did not get time to read again, and as you know I do lot of typing errors and simple grammars which could be caught only during revision. But it worked.

I would like to express gratitude for your devotion and hard work, helping students for their career.

Dr. Navin M. from India now has the Band 7+ he needs to practice medicine in Canada. 

Congratulations, Dr. Navin!

I am writing to express my gratitude for your help in reaching my desired goal in writing.

I scored 7.5 in writing this time, which is quite amazing compared to my previous score of 6.5. I followed the TREES pattern you suggested and wrote in the simplest manner I could. Also, I believe the one on one feedback session was very helpful in clearing all my queries. I would suggest to never abandon this approach.

Thank you again for all your input.

After ONE training session, Mohit G. from Mississauga raised his writing score from 6.5 to 7.5, which he needs for work in the medical field.

Congratulations, Mohit!

WRITING BAND 7.5

Just got my results. They are what I was hoping for!

Q. What helped you the most from our one session together?

A. From our session, the most useful part was to hear you explain the format, and to compare it to all the different types of essays. It was also extremely useful to have you go over my essays scoring them according to the score guide. This gave some key points to focus on.

After ONE training session, Lev K. from Toronto now has the Band 8.5 he needs for PR (permanent residency).

Congratulations, Lev!

Thank you very much for your help which helped me to succeed finally. Your way of teaching is excellent and is targeted at the student’s weaknesses. I learned a lot from you and was able to improve my mistakes. Although I have achieved the desired IELTS goal, I want to continue online class. I request to allow me to continue online class. I want to attend all the modules at least one time.

There is no doubt that without your supervision, I could not have achieved my goal. I believe your teaching is the main support which elevated my English level. Thank you very much again for your time and efforts for me.

I'm delighted to tell you that I got the marks I need in the last IELTS exam. I’m sure that I achieved these bands because of your tremendous effort and help… Before I joined the course my English language was not good especially in writing, and my highest result in IELTS exam was 5.5 in writing. I heard about the course from a friend, so I enrolled in it, and from the first session I understood that this course is better than other courses that I attended before. This is because the teacher, Mr. Jan, has a very good command of English. He delivers the information to students in a very nice way, and his sessions are full with important details like grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. His platform is highly informative and contain all the materials that are required to improve your English particularly speaking and writing. For instance, the vocabulary app was very beneficial to increase my vocab. Additionally, Mr. Jan was professional in correcting my essays and I learned a lot from him. I highly recommend this course for everyone who wants to improve his or her English or to get good marks in IELTS exam.

I want to thank you for your continuous support and advice.

It was my first time ever having the writing score to reach 7! Thank you so much for your advice! … I think the reason I got Band 7 is the advice: if not sure, make it simple. That was what I followed while writing.

I would like to thank you for all the support you gave to me. I finally reached band 7! 

I appreciate all your corrections and tips. It made a huge difference to notice that [not enough] “error-free” sentences were pushing my score down. I tried to control those errors during my last test, and it seems everything went well! 

I just wrote the texts in a simple way instead of using complex structures to give a good impression. I also paid more attention to subject / verb and tenses, avoiding those basic single/plural errors. I didn’t have time to read and correct my texts at the end (like always), but I believe that I controlled my errors during the writing process. 

Thanks again for all the lessons and tips, it made a huge difference to notice that one of my biggest problems in writing was the error-free sentences.

I asked Jan for help with my IELTS exam preparation because high score was extremely important for my immigration process. Jan’s approach is very different from what I’ve seen before. Jan pays a lot of attention to details and accurately identifies the systematic mistakes. For each of them Jan has a  respective course with both theoretical part and practical assignments. With Jan’s course I boosted my Writing from 6.0 to 7.0 in 5 weeks! I strongly recommend you take Jan’s course to prepare for IELTS exam properly and to get the highest score!

After 5 weeks of training, Roman Z. from Toronto now has the Band 7+ he needs for Permanent Residency (PR).

Jan helped me to get from Band 5.5 to Band 7.5 in writing. His class was very helpful because not only does he provide very detailed feedback, but we rewrite our work and he checks it again and provides more feedback. This gives me a chance to try to fix my mistakes by myself, and to see if I really understand my problems. We would then go over the problems I really don’t understand in detail. As well, we spend a lot of time on complex sentences and grammar, which has helped me feel much more confident when I write and when I speak. Thanks to Mr. Jan’s efforts, I finally got Band 7.5 in writing.

I received my IELS results. I got an average of 8 for my exam and 7 for my writing. I am pretty happy with my results.  Thank you very for your help!

Q. What do you think helped you the most from our training?

A. I think what helped me the most is the TREES structure of writing task 2. The structure is easy to follow and saves time, especially after I made some mistakes halfway through and had to rewrite the essay.
