Amelia Creative Writing Tutor

My main aim as a tutor in creative writing is building confidence in my students, teaching them to trust their creative instincts. I view writing as an art form, and encourage students to view 'rules' as guidelines that can be broken. Each writer is unique, and I not only tailor my lessons to what the student needs to improve on, but what they want out of writing - whether they want to become an author or simply enjoy writing short stories as a hobby, we can build skills that will help them in their goals.

In my sessions, I present my students with exercises to look at, working on a specific facet of writing; we might create a new character, or practice dialogue, or consider story structure. I often give them some sort of prompt or exercise that they can work on in their free time, which I will look over and help them identify what works and what doesn't. Additionally, if they have a larger project they are working on, such as a book, I can advise on this, acting as a proof-reader and helping them make their ideas a reality.

Contact me to discuss pricing and availability. I primarily teach KS2 and KS3. My lessons are online: I am able to do Teams, Zoom and Skype, but if there is another platform you would like to use please let me know.

Experience

  • Creative Writing Club Leader (Sep, 2021–May, 2022) at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School
    During my sixth form years, I mentored a group of around 15 KS3 students in creative writing, creating activities to expand their skills and looking over their personal work. I particularly aimed to focus the lessons on the interests of the students, helping to tell the stories they wanted to tell more effectively while also imparting broader skills, such as grammar and project planning.

    I am happy to negotiate prices. When looking over any personal work (not assigned by me), I may charge extra for longer pieces due to the time taken to go through them carefully.
