Our Story

The Story Behind Inkling

Think with STORY.  Write with FEDASI. Grow with Inky.

Inkling was born from a simple belief: every child has a story to tell – and the right method can help them tell it well.

The Discovery

Most resources showed children what a good composition looked like.Very few actually taught them how to become better writers.

The Journey

Listening to Parents

Through Tuitiply, I spoke to many parents looking for extra support for their children.

Seeing the Gap

Many wanted help beyond tuition – help that builds confidence, thinking and strong writing skills.

Building a Solution

I created a method that makes writing simple, engaging and effective for every child.

Inky brings this method to life – guiding children step by step to become stronger writers.

A Note from Our Founder

Hi, I'm Lakshika, founder of Inkling and Tuitiply.

One day, my daughter came home with 12/20 for her English composition. Like many parents, I wanted to help. But I wasn't sure how.

That's when I realised most resources showed children what a good composition looked like. Very few actually taught them how to become better writers.

That's why I created Inkling. I developed the STORY + FEDASI Method and built Inky – our friendly online writing coach – to give children personalised feedback and help them grow.

My hope is simple: a solution for parents to work alongside their kids without spending a lot, and every child's chance to become a confident writer.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
