ABOUT OUR ONLINE
LITERACY PLATFORM

The platform offers English Teachers an e-learning solution for Secondary School students, as well as full access to our extensive range of art tutorials for Art Teachers.

Our online tutorials are all produced and directed by film and music video professionals. By harnessing the media and technology that young people already engage with, we can engage, inspire and teach in ways never seen before. These video tutorials are specifically designed to furnish your students with the confidence, skill set and enthusiasm to produce a body of creative texts towards their final English results.

The platform is a revolutionary new approach to blended learning that aims to close the gap between a student’s actual ability and her or his potential. It empowers students, teachers and parents with the knowledge they need to help their children reach their full potential by creating ‘personalised’ learning experiences which are planned around each individual student’s specific needs.
