Poetry & Creative Writing Classes with Louisa
من 300.86 SAR /س
Would you love to write, but don't know where to begin? Perhaps you're already writing or studying English/creative writing, and need a hand? Would you benefit from 1-1, tailored support?
I'm a writer and poet, and my experience of tutoring hundreds of people over the past couple of decades has taught me that anyone can write with the right tools, support and encouragement! We all have experiences we can draw on to express ourselves creatively through the written word. Children, young people, and those experiencing challenges often find writing particularly beneficial and enjoyable. I am here to help inspire new and emerging writers by guiding you through the basics of writing, facilitating a deepened enjoyment and understanding of the power of words, and, importantly, supporting you to have confidence in your unique voice.
These interactive, informal, and supportive online classes are aimed at students of any age (above 7 years) who wish to write poetry, short stories, or creative prose (such as life writing). This includes beginners who are keen to learn basic writing skills, and those with some experience wishing to develop their practice and learn more, including students of English and creative writing at school, college or outside of formal education. Although we will touch on key grammatical terms, the focus will be on your creative expression through the written word.
In these classes, which will be tailored according to age, experience, needs, and areas of interest, students will learn the basics of writing short stories, including flash fiction; poetry, including free verse and traditional forms such as Haiku and sonnets; and creative prose, including life writing or short creative essays. You can attend as many classes as you like, and together, we will build your skills and understanding of creative writing, including identifying the stories you want to tell. The classes will be a mix of presentation, 'warm-up' writing activities, discussion, reading and analysing key texts, main writing activities, and redrafting, editing and proof-reading your work.
For those wishing to get published, there will be additional optional support available, such as detailed editing and mentoring advice, as well as hints and tips on developing as a writer.
Bring what you need to me, and we will shape the classes together!
I hold a recent DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, and parents or guardians of students under 18 years of age are welcome to meet the tutor first, and/or sit in on the classes. I look forward to hearing from you!

الخبرة / المؤهلات
I am a writer and Royal Society of Artists (RSA) Fellow whose work has been widely published. I write poetry, fiction, memoir, and diverse history. My first two poetry collections were published by Cinnamon Press; my third, How to wear a skin, was published by Indigo Dreams; my fourth, a pamphlet entitled, She can still sing, was published by Flipped Eye; and my debut short story collection, Stay with me, was published by Colenso Books. I have written books and exhibitions on ethnically diverse history, and have a coastal memoir forthcoming with Little Toller Books.
My poem, The Jewellery Maker, which is included in the AQA Worlds and Lives Collection, is being studied by thousands of English GSCE students across the UK.
I have been twice shortlisted by the Bridport Prize; Highly Commended by the Forward Prize; Commended by the National Poetry Competition; and winner of the (US) Virginia Faulkner Award.
I have delivered creative writing workshops (in person and online) to hundreds of participants of all ages and backgrounds, including in schools (state and independent), colleges, universities, libraries, prisons and in other community settings. I have taught for the Arvon Foundation, and held various writing residencies in the Southwest.
I have made various media appearances on TV, radio and podcasts, including Woman's Hour; Sky News; Adjoa Andoh's Discover Me; and My Cornwall with Fern Britton.
