Teaching Style:

Classes are all interactive with a variety of approaches & exercises. Casual, fun, & inclusive. It’s important to me to create a supportive & encouraging space where the students feel confident to share their writing.

Something Unique:

Learning should be fun. The content could change depending on the needs of the class. And we play dress-ups sometimes.

Your Classes:

There is plenty of opportunity for discussion, questions, & appraisal of student’s writing. Focus is on learning new writing skills, practising the skills in class & studying published texts which successfully demonstrate the skills.
