Documentation

Videos

With sign up, we supply a video and a Zoom online session. Typically a teacher onboarding takes around ten-to thirty minutes. Students need only a few minutes. A follow-up call/Skype or Zoom can be arranged at a time to suit the school, during which we share our screen, walk through the platform and share creative tips.

The platform has an online chat help, and Scribeasy allocates a named contact person who supports the school with customer care.

We do visit schools for face to face demonstrations (currently only London Schools), ideally, the coaching is arranged with a group of schools on an inset day or after school. In addition, creative writing workshops can be booked (any UK school or class) for an agreed fee.
