How does it work?
Our English course is broken down into easy to follow, bitesize video lessons. Work through 1-2 lessons with our super friendly teachers each time you log on to SchoolOnline (we recommend twice a week) and you’ll soon be acing your English assignments at school!
Each lesson contains a digital tutorial video, covering the really important elements of the skill covered in that lesson. In less than 10 minutes, you will have mastered another powerful tool to add to your English toolbox!
Once you’ve finished watching the video (go ahead, replay it to watch it again if you need to!), move on to the quiz. This is designed to first check you understood everything in the video, and then give you a chance to show off your new skills by applying it to a new text.
Finally, each lesson also has additional activities for you to complete. These include lots of different activities, like crosswords, word searches and close exercises for Reading. We will also soon be adding loads of story templates, workbooks and more to help you practice your Writing!
Bonus
Our grade boosting vocabulary Glossary course is now included.
Our powerful vocabulary booster tutorials will help you understand all those difficult ideas and concepts you come across in your English classes. This course covers things like Alliteration, Context, Emotive Language and much much more.
Having a powerful vocabulary will supercharge your English skills, and really help you on your way to Smarter Learning, Better Grades. Not only will you understand Reading questions better and know how to answer them for full marks, your Writing will also be far richer, giving you that extra boost you need to do really well!
