Creative Writing Class where you Unlock your own Voice - London - Private lessons

Creative Writing Class where you Unlock your own Voice

From 88.39 C$ /h

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.

Get involved in the world of writing and storytelling!
Release the images of your mind and let them take you on a wonderful adventure guided by your fantasy! These lessons will help you to become more confident and open about your own creativity and where that comes from.

I have recently published a collection of poems, ‘Sarga Tuzmadar’, through an independent publisher. This involved me in the editorial and creative aspects of publishing equally.
I am a writer for the theatre column of a Hungarian literary magazine, Nincs, where I publish articles and interviews on a regular basis both in English and Hungarian.

If you are preparing for a drama school audition or a public speaking event, if you are looking to build your confidence and expression through the development of acting skills or if you are keen to expand your creative writing skills as a playwright, I would love to help you.

I am a professional actress and movement director and I deliver one-to-one drama tuition sessions and full day workshops that are tailored to suit your individual needs. I have worked as an acting teacher and public speaking coach for all age groups (from ages 3 - 80!) for 24 years and it is a great passion and privilege of mine to assist in this way, seeing my students' evolution.

I have both a diploma and a degree in Acting (LAMDA, Associate Acting Diploma/ Rose Bruford, BA Hons Acting) and I have trained with Gecko physical theatre company. As well as performing for decades on stage and on screen, I have also run The Bedlam Bunch Children's Theatre and Entertainment since 2007, through which I have written and directed numerous stage plays as well as interactive, immersive shows for children aged 3 - 9 years. I also founded and ran Outburst Theatre from 2010 - 2019 as a platform to bring communities together in South East London via educational theatre projects. As a solo artist, I have written and produced three one-woman stage shows - "Raw Cake", "Through the Hourglass" and "The Wonky Shonky Show" - all performed in London, UK.

I look forward to working with you and being part of your journey!

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.
