We provide a nurturing community of English Literacy support for learners in primary school, secondary school, and university.
Book a CallSince 2016, Ms Joanna’s goal has been to bring our community an alternative perspective of language and language arts- that they are a part of everybody's everyday life, and they can be beautiful and help us create beauty too.
Learners are coached through a wide range of reading material and taught to tackle different writing tasks, well beyond the scope of school curriculum. We offer online as well as face-to-face group sessions using a fully hybrid learning environment.
English Literacy support is a wonderful help for learners who have diverse needs, including:
Students moving from a Mandarin or Bahasa Malaysia medium (a government school) to an English medium (an International School)
Students who answer ‘fill in the blanks’ questions but who lack confidence at coming up with ideas of their own for writing
Students who intend to go to university but who could use a hand with their reading and writing standards
Well spoken English speakers who struggle to express themselves well in words
Those who have not yet established a strong reading habit
Gifted learners who find the English work at school too easy
Ms Joanna began her work in English Literacy as an English Teacher and by serving a prestigious international school in Petaling Jaya as the Head of Educational Research and Development.
In her spare time, she digs in her garden and bakes banana bread.
At the Language Arts Studio, we spend half our time reading and half our time writing, with personal consultations each session.
Writing is a powerful tool for expression. Creative writing is approached as a form of art - a Language Art. This is where the studio draws our name.
While comprehension is a wonderful place to start at, learners are coached to move beyond simply understanding the explicit meaning in texts.
Learners from every education and linguistic background are welcome at the Studio. Support is available for learners in primary school, secondary school, and university.
Content for sessions is created and customised by Ms Joanna.
Fully hybrid session*
*All sessions are fully hybrid so learners may choose to attend any of their scheduled sessions in person or online.
The Language Arts Studio offers seasonal holiday camps.
