Master the framework that makes essay writing simple, structured, and stress-free. Learn how to generate ideas, build arguments, and craft high-scoring essays for NAPLAN, Selective Schools, QASMT, and beyond.
Does your child freeze at the blank page? Do their essays come back with comments like “unclear structure,” “needs more ideas,” or *“confusing argument”?
What if your child could learn one simple, all-inclusive essay framework that works for every teacher, every exam, and every writing task?
A system that removes the confusion of different teacher expectations and guarantees your child can start any essay with confidence — even when they don’t know the topic or even have an opinion on it?
The way essay writing is usually taught is fragmented. At school, methods change with every teacher, substitute, or year level. Tutors and tuition centres often add to the confusion by introducing their own short-term tricks or narrow approaches. Everyone is focused on meeting curriculum goals or getting through practice tasks — not on teaching a coherent system that lasts.
That leaves students constantly relearning how to write essays, confused and inconsistent, with no framework they can depend on.
Our system is different: one clear, consistent framework that works across all subjects, all exams, and carries students through school and into university.
I know this struggle firsthand. Parents would tell me: “My child is smart but just can’t get their ideas down on paper.”
Students would say: “Every teacher tells me something different. I don’t know what’s right anymore.”
That’s why we built this program — a step-by-step, milestone-based framework that takes away the guesswork. And once students learn it, they never look at essay writing the same way again.
That leaves students constantly relearning how to write essays, confused and inconsistent, with no framework they can depend on.
Our system is different: one clear, consistent framework that works across all subjects, all exams, and carries students through school and into university.
Look — writing doesn’t have to be painful.
Your child doesn’t need another pile of practice essays.
They need someone to finally say: “Here’s how to do it. Every time. Any topic.”
Over a hundred students have already used this system to boost their marks in NAPLAN, Selective High School exams, and QASMT entry tests.
The framework is based on real psychology and brain hacks that break through writer’s block.
School teachers have even praised the work of our students and used their writing as sample essays to teach their peers.
We don’t just give your child “more practice.”
We give them:
Milestones so they can see and celebrate their progress.
Keep doing what you’re doing → watch your child’s confidence sink further.
Sign them up for random tutors → get more conflicting systems.
Use our all-in-one framework → finally give your child clarity and control.

Essay Writing Codex is a step-by-step program that teaches students one clear, consistent framework for writing high-quality essays. Unlike schools or tuition centres where methods vary from teacher to teacher, this course gives students a reliable system they can use in every subject, every exam, and every year of school — right through to university.
Across 8 weeks, students will learn how to:
Plan and structure essays with confidence
Generate ideas quickly, even on unfamiliar topics
Build strong arguments supported by evidence
Write under timed conditions without losing quality
Avoid common grammar and structural mistakes that cost marks
The program combines practical writing strategies with psychology-backed techniques to beat writer’s block, maintain momentum, and finish strong. Students progress through clear milestones, gaining confidence at each stage until they can produce polished, high-scoring essays consistently.
This course is suitable for Years 5–9 students preparing for NAPLAN, Selective School exams, QASMT entrance, and school assignments.
Our Essay Writing Codex program is built on a progressive pathway where each level combines clear theory with practical application. Students don’t just “learn about” essay writing — they immediately put new strategies into practice so the skills stick. Using proven heuristics (thinking strategies and shortcuts) and an accumulative method, every level builds on the last. By the end, students can confidently produce high-quality essays in any subject, exam, or school setting.
Our program takes students on a clear, step-by-step journey. Each level blends simple theory with guided practice, so they don’t just learn “about writing” — they actually use the skills straight away. By the end, your child will have a repeatable method for writing essays quickly, clearly, and confidently.
Level 1 – The Power of Outlines
Students discover why outlines are the secret to confident writing. Instead of diving straight into the blank page, they learn to map ideas first — giving them structure and direction from the start.
Level 2 – Choosing a Position
We show students how to take a clear stance on any essay question. This skill builds confidence, reduces hesitation, and helps them avoid the “I don’t know what to write” problem.
Level 3 – Our Proven Outline Method
Students learn our exact system for turning an outline into a high-scoring essay. They practise connecting each step of the outline to the final piece, while managing time effectively.
Level 4 – Outlining Under Exam Conditions
Here, students practise creating outlines quickly and efficiently. This gives them a reliable way to start any timed exam essay, ensuring they never waste precious minutes figuring out what to do.
Level 5 – Asking the Right Questions
We teach students how to ask critical questions that unlock ideas and deepen their analysis. This habit makes their writing more insightful, original, and exam-ready — skills that serve them long after the test.
Level 6 – The Completed Outline
By this stage, students can confidently produce a full, well-structured outline that forms the backbone of a high-quality essay.
Level 7 – The Basic Essay
Students develop the ability to write a straightforward, structured essay suitable for early assessments like Year 3 and Year 5 NAPLAN and some school-based assessments.
They also learn our editing method, which shows them how to polish and refine their work to a higher standard.
Alongside this, we introduce an old secret used by professional writers for centuries — a rapid improvement technique that makes the strategies already taught in this skill builder sharper, faster, and more natural with practice.
Together, these tools give students not just the ability to write essays, but the power to continuously improve their essay writing skills at speed.
Level 8 – Advancing to High Scores
At this stage, students refine their writing to meet the standards of higher-scoring assessments such as Year 5 NAPLAN and selective entry exams.
Level 8 – Advancing to High Scores
Students refine their writing to meet the standards of higher-scoring assessments such as Year 5 NAPLAN and selective entry exams. Over several weeks, they are introduced to advanced thinking strategies that help them write with greater depth and maturity — even on unfamiliar or abstract topics.
This part of the program stretches their ability to generate insightful ideas quickly, organise them under pressure, and express them with the sophistication examiners are looking for.
Level 9
Here, the focus shifts to flow and refinement. Students learn how to make their essays read as one unified piece, with each paragraph supporting the central argument.
We take off the training wheels for the outlines here (so students can start writing even more quickly under time pressure).
A completed piece of writing at this level is sufficient to score highly on any NAPLAN, Selective High School or QASMT Exam.
Level 10 – Complete Essays: Introductions & Conclusions
The final stage completes the framework. Students master multiple ways to write strong introductions and conclusions, producing essays that are not only structured and coherent but also polished and compelling. At this level, they are ready to achieve top scores in both primary school assessments and high school essays.
Discussion Essays
In the final week, students expand their skills to include discussion essays. They learn how to make slight, deliberate modifications to the persuasive essay structure in order to write balanced, thoughtful discussions. This ensures they are ready for the full range of essay types expected in NAPLAN, selective entry and QASMT writing pieces.
📚 Suitable for students in Years 5–9
✏️ English literacy (at grade level)
💻 Access to a notebook or computer for writing tasks
⏰ Willingness to set aside 2–3 hours each week for lessons and practice
🎯 Motivation to complete the course — students who follow the system and stay engaged will see the biggest improvements in both confidence and results
This course is designed for students in Years 5–9 who want to improve their essay writing for both school and exam settings. It is especially valuable for students preparing for NAPLAN, Selective School exams, and QASMT entrance, but it also supports everyday school assignments. Whether your child is a beginner who finds essays intimidating or already has some writing skills but needs more structure and confidence, the course provides a clear pathway forward.
Not at all. Many students begin this course with very little confidence in writing. We start with the basics — why outlines matter and how to choose a clear position — and build step by step. By the time students are writing full essays, they’ve already developed the habits, strategies, and frameworks that make writing easier. Even students who currently “freeze” at the blank page quickly gain confidence when they see how simple and repeatable the method is.
We recommend setting aside about 2–3 hours per week for lessons and practice. This is manageable alongside schoolwork and other commitments, but consistent enough to create rapid progress. The program is designed with busy families in mind — each week combines short lessons with practical application, so students steadily build skill without feeling overwhelmed.
To ease students into the program, the first week is relatively simple and students may only need an hour to an hour and a half to complete the lessons and practical tasks assigned.
At school, the way essay writing is taught often changes depending on the teacher, the syllabus, or even the year level. Tutors and tuition centres sometimes add to the confusion by introducing their own short-term methods. The result is a fragmented approach where students constantly have to relearn how to write essays.
This course is different. We teach one coherent framework that works across all subjects and all exams. It’s a system students can rely on from now through high school and even into university. Instead of “quick fixes” or disconnected tips, we provide a structured pathway that accumulates level by level — turning writing into a skill students can use for life.
Yes. The program has been designed specifically with these assessments in mind. Students learn how to produce essays that meet the marking criteria for NAPLAN (Year 3, 5, 7, 9), Selective entry exams, and QASMT entrance exams, as well as general school tasks.
They also learn how to adapt their writing for persuasive and discussion styles, which means they are prepared for the full range of assessment tasks they may face.
This is very common — many students find writing stressful, so they avoid it.
Our program is designed to overcome this. We use engaging, step-by-step lessons that show students clear progress each week. Milestones are built into the course, so students see improvement quickly, which motivates them to keep going.
We also teach psychology-backed strategies to help students beat writer’s block and maintain momentum. Parents can support by encouraging their child to stay consistent — even 2–3 hours per week makes a big difference. Motivation often grows naturally once students realise writing no longer feels like an impossible task.
Most families notice a difference within the first few weeks.
As soon as students begin using the outline method, their essays become more organised and structured.
Over time, as they move through the levels, the quality, clarity, and speed of their writing improves dramatically.
By the end of the course, students can consistently produce high-quality essays under timed conditions, which is exactly what examiners and teachers are looking for.
Every level of the course provides valuable tools that students can use immediately. Even if your child doesn’t complete all 10 levels, they will walk away with a clearer understanding of essay structure and practical strategies for writing.
However, the biggest transformation happens when students complete the full pathway, because each level builds on the last. That’s why we strongly encourage families to support their child in reaching the end — the payoff is worth it.
No. While we begin with persuasive essays (because they are the most common in NAPLAN and selective entry exams), students also learn how to adapt their writing to produce discussion essays and general academic writing.
This flexibility means they are prepared for whatever writing tasks their school or exams require. By the end of the course, students don’t just know “one type” of essay — they understand how to write effectively in multiple formats.
Yes. But it’s important to understand that too many different approaches can confuse students — as the saying goes, “too many cooks spoil the broth.”
Often, even tutors within the same subject teach writing in different ways. That’s why we recommend letting your child work through the entire program and allowing the framework to speak for itself.
Once complete, the tutor will see the remarkable difference in clarity, structure, and output. Rather than clashing with tutoring, our system gives your child one reliable method that simplifies and strengthens everything they learn.
Absolutely. The course is designed to be flexible. While we recommend following the levels in order, motivated students can progress at a faster pace if they are ready. Some students take the standard 8–10 weeks, while others accelerate by completing multiple lessons in a week. Because the framework is accumulative — each level builds on the last — moving faster won’t cause confusion, as long as the core strategies are applied in practice.
Students that complete all the practical components assigned before moving on will benefit the most from this program.
For families who want their child to advance more quickly (for example, in the lead-up to NAPLAN or selective exams), the program can be condensed into a shorter time frame while still maintaining its effectiveness. The key is consistency and application: the more your child engages with the system, the faster their skills will sharpen.
