C$48Develop Drawing skills and Creative Writing: Poetry

Trusted teacher: Have you ever drawn with words - or write with drawing/ mark making? In each session, we will look at techniques to develop both drawing and writing skills to produce an image/ prose to be proud of. The aim is to then use this creativity to address the demands of every day living - to find a moment of calm amidst the punishing to-do list we give ourselves.

C$76Poetry and Creative Writing: from beginner to advanced

Trusted teacher: People often do not know where to start with poetry, and the books give contradictory advice.

Haitham - IslingtonC$70

C$70Video Editing Training Course or audacity and equivalent programs - Just for fun or become a professional!

Trusted teacher: Editing video can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. But however complex you want the final product to be, you will find the process far more enjoyable if you take a few moments to prepare from the very beginning, preferably before you even start to record any footage. Conclusion. Video editing is important because it is the key to blending images and sounds to make us feel emotionally connected and sometimes truly there in the film we're watching. It's a safe assumption to say that video editing is among the most important jobs in the film industry.

Andrew - ArchwayC$112

C$112Professional writing tuition for journalists, marketers and would-be novelists.

Even ChatGPT does not write as well, or as uniquely, as a well-trained human. And if you are a journalist or a novelist, the use of AI tools is also not allowed. In this class, you can learn the art of truly great writing from someone who has been a professional content creator for thirty years. You will learn about how to structure the perfect piece of writing, from a news story or feature (print or broadcasting scripts), any form of marketing material and even a 100,000 novel. I can also unlock your hidden talent, as not everything can be taught—instead, it needs nurturing. Using techniques I have been given and those I have developed myself, you too can be the writer you always thought you could.

Myra - LondonC$89

C$89Creative Writing Class where you Unlock your own Voice

This isn’t about perfect essays or stiff story structures. Unlock Your Voice is a one-on-one creative writing space built to help people write like they actually feel something. Each session is personal, messy, and different, because every writer is. We do a mix of everything: character sketches, short scripts, journal letters, even college essays, and whatever else helps you get the words out. Some days it’s about writing freely without overthinking. Other days it’s about pulling apart what you’ve written and finding the heartbeat inside it. There’s no pressure, no grades, just a lot of creative honesty and a few good laughs along the way. This class is about more than writing well. It’s about finding your rhythm, trusting your thoughts, and learning how to express what you actually mean. By the end, you’ll have a small collection of original work that sounds like you and definitely not like ChatGPT.

Khadijah - Brixton HillC$68

C$68Engaging Creative Writing Classes (For All Levels)

I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have a special passion for creative writing, which I specifically studied in my joint honours degree (BA English with Creative Writing), and specialise in producing stories, written poetry, and spoken word poetry which I have previously performed at events. I have run creative writing workshops for children at previous educational centres and love to make writing enjoyable, engaging and exciting for all of my students at all levels. I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride am an attentive listener and I carefully plan my lessons according to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN, ESOL, and younger pupils. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths. Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they want to excel at, and helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs. I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student. I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Trusted teacher: I can aid students from preschool to IGCSE/GCSE level in English, Verbal Reasoning, and essay writing.

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.

Trusted teacher: I'm a self published poet and short-story writer with a Bachelor of Arts in English with Creative Writing, plus a proven track record of tutoring students in English and regularly performing my poems.

But with these tools, and regular practice, you can be a more confident and more varied writer, in whatever field you're working in (or would like to work in). I've found that writing habitually is a therapeutic experience, mentally and spiritually, as well as a good opportunity to connect and share with people.
