Creative Writing & Storytelling Sessions — All levels

A partir de 39.35 $ /h

I offer creative writing sessions for teenagers and adults, suitable for complete beginners as well as writers who already have written work (short stories, scripts, monologues, poems, etc.) and would like feedback, structure and discussion.
These sessions focus on storytelling and the creative process, using writing exercises, prompts and conversation to help develop ideas into characters, worlds and scenes, with the option to edit or rewrite existing texts.
My approach is practical and flexible, focused on helping each writer find their own voice rather than following rigid formulas. I have a postgraduate degree in Storytelling and have published a book, as well as essays in magazines and newspapers, and continue to work on scriptwriting projects. Alongside writing, I work as an actress, which strongly informs my approach to character, voice and dialogue.
Sessions are available in English or Portuguese, online or in person in Lisbon, in a café or similar relaxed space, and are always adapted to each student’s level and interests.

If you're already comfortable with the basics of English and want to take your skills to the next level, my lessons are perfect for you! I focus on conversation practice and expanding vocabulary, helping you gain confidence in real-world situations.

Hello! I'm an Italian high school teacher and published writer with a strong academic background in Literature and Languages, studied across Italy, the UK, and France. I have extensive experience tutoring students of all ages and levels, and I bring both a structured and culturally rich approach to each lesson.
My classes are personalized to suit the individual needs, goals, and current level of each student. Typically, a lesson is divided into two parts:

- Grammar & Language Structure – I teach grammar interactively using a textbook as a guide, alongside custom exercises that I prepare based on each student’s progress and needs.

- Conversation Practice – We dedicate time to speaking and listening, helping students become more confident and fluent in real-life communication.

For intermediate and advanced learners, I enrich lessons with insights into the evolution of the Italian language, drawing connections to Latin roots and Italian literature. I also weave in elements of Italian culture—from regional expressions to literary references—to make the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable.

Whether you're learning Italian for travel, study, work, or personal interest, I’ll help you reach your goals with a method that is both rigorous and inspiring.

My lessons are more about speaking we can have some grammar explanations but most of the time we will be speaking in order to improve what we are learning.

Learning a language doesn’t have to feel like an obligation. In my lessons, it becomes something you use: in real conversations, at work, at school, and in everyday life. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, always adapting to the age, level, and goals of the student. Through roleplays, simulations, and practical exercises tailored to you, you don’t just learn vocabulary and grammar, you build the confidence and skills to truly function in Dutch.

When we set an objective, we work toward it step by step. At the same time, we create a supportive space together where mistakes are part of growth. You can expect clear progress, personalized guidance, and lessons that help you move from understanding Dutch to confidently owning it.

Session 1 – The complete self-publishing process

Not sure if self-publishing is really for you?
Have you been told that your book doesn't fit into the publishing market?
Are you afraid to publish and make irreversible mistakes?

In this first session we will bring order, clarity and direction.

You'll understand the real publishing options available today and what self-publishing your work without relying on third parties truly entails. We'll analyze the responsibilities you assume, the control you gain, and the decisions you need to make before taking the plunge.

We will work in a clear and direct manner:

✔ Real publishing options and their differences
✔ What does being an independent author entail?
✔ ISBN, copyright and essential legal aspects
✔ How to properly prepare your manuscript before publishing it
✔ Common mistakes you should avoid

This session isn't technical yet. It's strategic.
You will leave with a complete vision, basic legal certainty, and the peace of mind of knowing exactly what your next step is.

Because publishing doesn't begin with uploading a file.
Start by making a decision with sound judgment.

¿Tienes algo que contar? Date el espacio para hacerlo, de manera segura y sin prejuicios. La palabra es uno de los medios que más ha perdurado en la historia, para narrarnos, entendernos y vivir más allá de nosotros. Por ello, en un tiempo donde la voz humana se va diluyendo en una amalgama de frases generadas por robots, trabajar un estilo propio es clave.

Con estas clases, podremos trabajar tu voz, corregir errores de sintaxis y gramática, o sencillamente tener a alguien más para desarrollar tu proyecto de escritura. ¡No lo dudes!
