Creative Writing Support for Beginners and Non-native English Learners

A partir de 35.33 $ /h

In one-to-one classes I can offer the support, feedback and encouragement that you need to start writing creatively, whether it's for a course, to improve your language skills and fluency, or as a hobby/passion. I am a graduate of English with Creative Writing at UCD, have published several short stories and have years of experience giving advice and constructive feedback to other writers (I was also the fiction editor of a successful magazine issue published by UCD). Whether we start with a piece of writing that you want to expand on and improve or just an idea or genre you would like to write in, I can assist you. As well as giving you feedback on your work and talking you through how to go about editing, we can also look at certain books or stories as examples of excellent writing, to help inspire your own work. I offer close guidance and attention and try to create a welcoming, non-judgemental environment in which to work and grow your ideas. Please get in touch with your request so I have an idea of what you are looking for before our first introductory class

*For students needing help with literature analysis, better understanding texts and essay writing*
With experience as a writer, editor and as an English graduate and LC tutor, I can offer you help with analysing literature on your college course or exam, or help you with essay writing/editing

Como escritor independiente, mi propósito es acompañarte a transformar el silencio en palabra y el peso emocional en literatura a través de clases particulares diseñadas para el desahogo personal. En este espacio seguro, utilizaremos la escritura no como una obligación académica, sino como un refugio de liberación donde podrás explorar tus sentimientos, sanar historias y encontrar en la página en blanco el alivio y la claridad que necesitas para procesar tu mundo interno.
Como dibujante independiente, mi propósito trasciende la técnica para convertirme en un facilitador de tu mundo interior, guiándote en el proceso de transformar emociones abstractas en trazos tangibles que capturen la verdadera esencia de lo que sientes. Más que enseñarte a replicar formas, te proporcionaré las herramientas creativas necesarias para que utilices el dibujo como un lenguaje personal y liberador, donde cada línea y sombreado actúen como una extensión de tu sensibilidad. Al trabajar juntos, aprenderás a observar no solo con los ojos, sino con la intuición, logrando que tus obras dejen de ser simples imágenes para convertirse en reflejos auténticos de tu identidad y estado emocional.
Como actor independiente, mi compromiso es brindarte las herramientas interpretativas necesarias para que logres transmutar tu mundo interior en la creación de personajes profundos y auténticos. Mi enfoque no se limita a la memorización de diálogos, sino a un proceso de exploración emocional donde aprenderás a canalizar tus propias vivencias, miedos y alegrías para dar vida a una ficción que respire verdad. A través de técnicas de expresión corporal, manejo de la voz y análisis psicológico, te guiaré para que utilices tu vulnerabilidad como una fortaleza escénica, permitiendo que cada gesto y cada silencio en el escenario o frente a la cámara sea un reflejo honesto de la condición humana.
Como bailarín independiente, mi compromiso es ofrecerte un espacio de libertad donde el movimiento se convierta en tu principal vía de escape, permitiéndote liberar tensiones acumuladas y canalizar el estrés de una manera constructiva y saludable. A través de la danza, te enseñaré a escuchar el ritmo de tu propio cuerpo para que logres desahogar tus emociones sin juicios, transformando el agotamiento mental en energía física renovada y bienestar emocional. No se trata solo de ejecutar pasos coreográficos, sino de utilizar el baile como una herramienta terapéutica de autocuidado que te ayude a desconectar del caos externo para reconectar con tu equilibrio interior, logrando que cada sesión sea una catarsis liberadora y revitalizante.

Olá! Tudo bem? Prazer, meu nome é Paloma.

I am a Portuguese teacher, translator, proofreader, language lover, and lifelong learner.

I am originally from Recife, Brazil, and since 2020, I have discovered my passion for teaching the Portuguese language. Despite having an initial education in a different area, it was through learning languages and teaching my students that I developed my skills as a teacher. I have also pursued further university certificates in linguistics, Portuguese as a foreign language, teaching methodologies, and translation.

I have always been passionate about languages. In addition to Portuguese, I speak English and Spanish, and I am currently studying other languages (this is one of my hobbies).

My experience as a language learner has given me the essential tools to support my students on their journey to learning Portuguese.

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to advance your fluency, I am here to help you speak with confidence and joy.

You decide how you want to learn — our classes can be in English or fully in Portuguese for total immersion! My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and dynamic learning environment where you feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your best.

Why learn with me?
• Personalised lessons tailored to your goals and learning style
• A balance between structure and flexibility, so you stay on track while enjoying the process
• Engaging and interactive classes that incorporate real-life conversations, cultural insights, and fun exercises
• A patient, encouraging approach to keep you motivated and confident

In our trial lesson, I will assess your level, learning preferences, and areas of improvement so we can create the best strategies to help you progress as quickly as possible.

If you do not see an available time slot that works for you, do not hesitate to message me — I will do my best to accommodate your schedule!

I cannot wait to meet you and be part of your language-learning journey! Schedule your first lesson, and let’s get started.

Ven a sumergirte en el poema: en su ritmo, en sus pliegues, en esas razones que lo vuelven fascinante. Por qué puede doler con belleza y, a la vez, abrir una sonrisa. La poesía no solo cuenta la vida: la reordena. Construye mundos dentro del mundo.

La poesía no es un misterio inaccesible: es un lenguaje. Y como todo lenguaje, puede aprenderse. En este curso empezamos por lo esencial: qué es poesía, qué es un poema y qué hace que una voz se vuelva poética. Vamos a reconocer los recursos que transforman un texto común en un texto cargado de intensidad: imagen, música, ritmo, silencio, rima y la importancia de la métrica.

Hay técnicas, herramientas y decisiones concretas que hacen que un poema respire. Te voy a compartir recursos que uso al escribir y métodos para trabajar el borrador: cómo encontrar la imagen central, cómo ajustar el tono, cómo eliminar lo que sobra y cómo darle brillo a una idea sin perder su verdad.

También vamos a trabajar el poder de las palabras: cómo pueden conmover, transformar y construir sentido. Para eso, nos apoyaremos en ejemplos seleccionados de grandes autores de la poesía universal y en textos propios, reunidos a lo largo de años de lectura, estudio y escritura.

Voy a acompañar tu proceso con guía clara, devoluciones y herramientas concretas.
Mi objetivo es que tu idea se convierta en poema.
