The goal is to make tutees feel more at ease than in the typical classroom setting to assist in building the confidence to demonstrate and further develop the fundamental language, literacy and literary skills required to produce quality work. I aim to build an approachable, friendly and relatable rapport with tutees during sessions. Teaching Approach:Ĭreative Writing, as a subject, is about the development of key skills, rather than the learning of information.

I am currently training to become a secondary teacher at the University of Strathclyde. I have previous experience in one-to-one tuition, group writing workshops as well as experience working with classes as part of a creative writing initiative in schools across Glasgow. I have been fully checked by Disclosure Scotland and deemed fit to work with children and vulnerable groups. Please note that I have very limited experience in scriptwriting and screenplay. Whilst I specialise in poetry, I am also competent and qualified in teaching children’s literature, fiction and creative non-fiction. I have had poetry published online, as well as in two printed anthologies. I am an English, Journaism and Creative Writing graduate, Creative Writing postgraduate and trainee English teacher at the University of Strathclyde.
