Creative Writing Lessons To Help Enhance Your Skills, Abilities And Imagination As Well As Increase Marks And Grades.

Creative Writing is a way in which one can express their thoughts and emotions and let their imagination write itself out. It allows you to think creatively in which you can truly create something amazing, whether it is a story or a small piece. Either way, it becomes a form of art and expression.

Creative writing is so much more too. It is a skill. One that you can continue to develop and eventually master. My lessons will allow you to hone your skills and abilities through critiquing your work, analysing other pieces of creative writing and working on your skillset until you are confident in your writing as I will be too.

I'm always happy to design lessons to individual needs and preferences. Your opinion is always important in needing to help you reach the best you can be.
Lessons will be done over audio call with screen sharing on my part.
This allows for a more comfortable yet engaging and interactive experience.

Extra information

Pen, paper and different coloured pens or highlighters should be with you for all lessons please. This is essential when taking notes or collaborating/ mind mapping ideas.

About Me

I'd describe myself as a bit of a calm and relaxed person. I tend to read or write my own stories quite often and have a lot of imagination and creativity to share. I'm willing to share my knowledge and take time to help others as I'm truly passionate about helping others and help them achieve their potential and goals.

I have previous experience in mentoring students in English as well as helping students in creative writing lessons.
I have all my GCSE’S with high grades in both English Literature and Language.
I have also done English Literature in my A-Levels and have gathered a vast amount of knowledge and skills.
I am currently working towards my degree at university.

I believe education is something that a lot of us tend to dread but it is a lifelong thing. Knowledge endless.

Experience / Qualifications

I have previously led creative writing lessons and a book club.
English Literature is a requited subject for all GCSE students. I have studied English Literature throughout my GCSE’S and A-Levels and have acquired a vast amount of knowledge and skill. English Literature requires in depth analysis and being able to interpret various aspects from different viewpoints. Opinions and viewpoints matter a lot and ideas only continue to add onto the messages and morals behind Literature. My lessons will be online, audio call with screen sharing. These lessons will include debates, idea sharing, mind mapping, essay writing, collaborative writing and in depth analysis on Literature that you are learning for your GCSE’S. Whether it is at the beginning of your learning or close to your actual GCSE’S, I will adapt these lessons to your needs and preferences to ensure that you get the best grade possible. I am certain that I can help you enhance and hone your skills and abilities and exceed on English Literature whether you need a bit of confidence or a bit of help.

Anna
English IGCSE/GCSE/ Verbal Reasoning/ Poetry/ Creative Writing
I can aid students from preschool to IGCSE/GCSE level in English, Verbal Reasoning, and essay writing. Having achieved an A* in both English Language and English literature, I am passionate about teaching children how to love the subject and excel in their examinations. I have tutored English in the past to both preschool and IGCSE pupils, offering a dynamic and interactive teaching style that helps nurture a child's love for English and creative writing. I have access to the poetry pamphlet taught in most schools for IGCSE, but can access whatever syllabus is needed for a specific exam. I also have created several worksheets for students who are learning English as their second language. Having studied French, German, and Latin at school, I am aware of the etymology of many words which will allow students to connect meanings across their language to understand the literature fully. In my free time, I write poetry and novels and can share many teachings I learnt on a creative writing course I undertook in 2016.

GCSE English Language and Literature Tutoring 1-9.
English Language and Literature are compelling and multifaceted subjects that offer a deep dive into the art of communication and the power of storytelling. Engaging with these subjects allows you to explore the richness of the English language and the diverse forms of literary expression. English Language and Literature have always been my strongest subjects and have always peaked my interest, it would be an honour for me to allow you to also develop an interest in such a wonderful subject.

Poetry Writing for Beginners and Intermediate Writers
Would you like to learn how to write poetry or develop your poetic craft with the assistance of an experienced teacher? In this class, we'll work on shaping new drafts whilst learning about international poetic forms as well as producing some free verse work. We'll edit our material and, if we have multiple sessions, we'll put together a brief collection! We will explore the world of the senses, memories, and connect to language in a new, profound way. My course is not prescriptive, and we'll meet your voice wherever you're at right now. You'll be taught by a published poet with work experience in the UK and North America. I've taught Creative Writing to university students at a world-leading school, and worked with younger audiences, and I'm happy to work with a variety of forms in English. I studied for my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, and won a scholarship as the strongest poet in my cohort.

Creative/Drama Writing Tuition (available to students of any experience level)
Is there an idea you can't quite get off the ground, or are you curious about how to foster an underlying voice? I'm proud to offer tuition in the realm of creative writing, be it for the page, stage or screen, to people at all stages of their artistic journey. My personal tuition philosophy means that every session is curated for your individual needs and interests, and I will consistently request feedback to ensure no time is wasted on material you don't find enriching. After graduating from the University of Warwick with a first class degree in English and Theatre, and securing one of eight places for writers at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School this year, I want to extend my passion into helping others discover their linguistic flair; tackling the whole spectrum from crafting character, to constructing dialogue and beyond. I've written a dozen plays in the last year alone, so consider myself well acquainted with the pitfalls and complex methodologies of this often tricky art. I hope to use these classes to help you develop more reliable writing practices and overcome the dreaded writer's block once and for all.
