The Road Map

The approach is based on motivation and interests. The free WordPress account will enable the student to create a portfolio to show progress and demonstrate as evidence in future personal statements and interviews.

The generic road-map is shown in Figure 1 below.

Introduction to enjoying learning

We defined the platform of the portfolio (Checkpoint 1) and introduced the styles of writing (Checkpoint 4). The passions and interests from Checkpoint 2 and subjects from Checkpoint 3 are combined to provide your unique starting point. BE a Scholar Tuition designed a travel map to guide the portfolio to fit the King’s Scholarship exams and provide evidence for the interview and personal statement.

How to enjoy?

Every child is different. The hypothesis is that the child will be curious if they study the topics that they are interested in. The parents should be curious as well, by asking insightful questions instead of making statements about an idea. A statement is a judgement, whether it is positive, negative or indifferent, is not really providing further insight into the idea.

Be Curious, Not Judgemental.

Together, the parents and child can keep asking questions to develop an idea.

The key is to make this process manageable through small incremental steps. For example, the first few blog entries can be just pictures of activities that are of interest.

My “portfolio” is about my passion for travelling and exploring. I have backpacked (Nepal), volunteering (Olympics), Interrailling with friend (Europe), roadtrip (Iceland). I also went through a volcano phase i.e. visit different volcanoes and an UNESCO phase in Italy. The point is that you need somewhere to start and dedication to continue. The difference between the first and last post will be astonishing, and demonstrates growth (which we will review in the next checkpoint.) I applied a range of writing styles but at the time of writing, I had no idea about the different styles. On the subject of travelling, I am not the one who travelled the most, I have met so many people who have travelled more than me, so I stay humble but I am comfortable with and confident about the places that I have been. I have travelled enough. So stay humble but be confident. Link to my other website www.delbot1234.co.uk

In summary

Practice is the key to improving your writing. There are many different writing styles to choose from. Each style will have their respective aspects to improve. You can start to write by combining your ideas with a style and build an outline to structure your writing. I will create more diagrams to convey the approach and message.
