Songwriting/ creative writing for beginners to advanced
I am a first class songwriting graduate from Leeds College of Music. I have experience of running engaging and stimulating writing sessions. I can help you unlock your own creativity, get over a writers block or introduce you to songwriting/creative writing with lots of different exercises that I have used over the years. I am also a guitarist and vocalist so we can bring this into the lessons if you want to. I want to help you get creative in a way that is inspiring and enjoyable.
If you have a song you want to finish and make a demo of it, we can do that too!

Ideally complementary to your musical background, I am also available to start on a good basis and follow at your speed the musical journey necessary for the evolution of your project.

a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.
Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Creative Writing - Unleashing the Inner StorytellerMy childhood is inextricably linked to the power of stories. The books I devoured, their plots, and characters deeply shaped who I am. This passion followed me to the University of British Columbia, where I majored in Sociology and Creative Writing. While a subsequent career in marketing (both in Canada and Karachi) provided valuable experience, I always felt a yearning for deeper fulfillment. My foray into film production ignited this passion, confirming my true calling as a storyteller and creative. However, it was when I began working with children that I truly found my joy. Guiding young minds, fostering their unique voices, and equipping them with the tools for confident expression – this is my true prerogative.My teaching philosophy centers on cultivating the intangible: a love for creation, expression, and the pursuit of knowledge. I specialize in Personalized Learning Plans, Engaging Activities, Strong Foundational Skills, Confidence Building, Personalized Attention: I am passionate about helping children discover the magic of language and unleash their inner creativity.
