My background

Hello , I have many years experience a whole range of ages in creative writing in all its forms, scriptwriting /screenwriting and teaching English as well as English Literature. I used to work as a journalist before taking an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia -in the UK and discovered a love of teaching as well as writing. I have worked with all ages and in challenging settings. I have experience of the National Curriculum and can work flexibly to meet your needs. If you need to be tutored at an unusual time, try me. I am a passionate and committed teacher.
