WRITERS AT WORK Wins SME 500 2025 Award: A Milestone in Our Mission

From Humble Beginnings to National Recognition

WRITERS AT WORK is honoured to be named one of Singapore’s SME 500 2025 awardees. This recognition is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to empowering children with the writing skills and confidence needed to excel in school and beyond.

Since our founding, our goal has never changed. We’ve always believed that every child has a voice, and that voice deserves to be heard, sharpened, and celebrated. Our classrooms were born out of a simple mission: to transform how English is taught, not through rote learning, but by nurturing expression, critical thinking, and structured writing.

What the SME 500 Award Means to Us

Being awarded the SME 500 is a proud moment. It recognises businesses that have shown excellence, innovation, and consistent growth. For us, it is a validation of years of tireless curriculum refinement, student-centred programme development, and the belief that effective English instruction can be life-changing.

But this milestone is just the beginning. To us, it’s not the finish line. It’s a marker of how far we’ve come, and a reminder of how much further we intend to go.

Thank You: To Our Students, Parents, and Team

We wouldn’t be here without the incredible trust and belief of our students, parents, and educators.

To our students, you’ve believed in the stories of Gary and Austin, two names that have become legendary in our composition classes. You’ve embraced every acronym and strategy we’ve taught you, from QSP and PPPs for planning compelling narratives to oral response frameworks like MEET and SCARE, which have empowered you to answer with structure, substance, and confidence.

To our parents, thank you for standing with us. Your unwavering support and partnership have allowed us to do our best work every single day.

To our team, you are the heartbeat of WRITERS AT WORK. Your creativity, commitment, and care for each child go beyond what can be measured.

STORYBANKING®: Our Competitive Edge

What sets WRITERS AT WORK apart from the rest is our signature STORYBANKING® method, a unique approach we’ve pioneered and perfected.

STORYBANKING® empowers students to:

• Build a mental library of high-quality plots, character arcs, and moral lessons
• Draw on their banked stories to adapt to any given composition topic
• Develop writing fluency, creativity, and confidence under exam pressure

This method is more than a technique. It’s a mindset, helping students see writing not as a last-minute scramble, but as a process of storytelling readiness. With STORYBANKING®, students walk into exams equipped with both structure and inspiration.

Evolving with Singapore's Education Landscape

As the MOE continues to refine the curriculum and assessment formats at the PSLE and O-Level levels, we evolve alongside it. Our team is constantly reviewing and upgrading our curriculum to meet the latest demands, from oral stimulus conversations to changes in situational writing expectations.

We are committed to giving our students not only what the syllabus requires, but also the deeper skills of language mastery, analytical thinking, and expressive clarity, skills that serve them far beyond school.

Looking Ahead

Our SME 500 2025 award is a symbol of what’s possible when a community comes together to reimagine what English learning can be. And we’re only just scratching the surface. As we move forward, we’ll continue to grow with purpose, adapt with insight, and lead with heart.

Thank you for being part of this story.
