Creative writing, literature, plus art and film and anything else I can manage to link in.
For everyone.
I am a teacher of creative writing, a tutor in English Literature, a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, a filmmaker, and also a copywriter (if you ever need those services).
I have taught all ages and abilities. I have also taught people with disabilities, people with learning disabilities, asylum seekers, prisoners...a pretty broad range really.
For me the most important thing is fun. You learn better that way, and it makes life a bit better, too.
My main specialities are:
If you explore this tab you can find lesson plans of some of the things I have done. Feel free to use them if they are useful, and if you want me to come and deliver one of them, or something new, just ask!

My main specialities are:
- Creative writing - one to one mentoring, and anything from fun art/writing activities to more sensible workshop lessons.
- Basic filmmaking courses including with a news focus.
- Making things out of cardboard boxes (etc).

And a mission statement:
Creative Writing and Us.
Anyone can do creative writing. Fitzgerald, as I have told far too many people, used very simple language. But, beyond that, writing is storytelling, and everyone does that. What happens when you come home from work or school or a wander around the park? You tell someone about it.
That's a story you've just told there.
There might be tips you can be given, advice on how to do things in a way that is closer to what people already know that they like...but ultimately, you still told a story.
Stop letting Should-ites stop you.
