Would you like to learn how to write poetry or develop your poetic craft with the assistance of an experienced teacher? In this class, we'll work on shaping new drafts whilst learning about international poetic forms as well as producing some free verse work. We'll edit our material and, if we have multiple sessions, we'll put together a brief collection! We will explore the world of the senses, memories, and connect to language in a new, profound way. My course is not prescriptive, and we'll meet your voice wherever you're at right now. You'll be taught by a published poet with work experience in the UK and North America. I've taught Creative Writing to university students at a world-leading school, and worked with younger audiences, and I'm happy to work with a variety of forms in English. I studied for my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, and won a scholarship as the strongest poet in my cohort.

Gabriel Newmeir - Bethnal Green£30

£30Poetry and Creative Writing Workshops (learn how to, and get better at, writing creatively)

I'm a self published poet and short-story writer with a Bachelor of Arts in English with Creative Writing, plus a proven track record of tutoring students in English and regularly performing my poems. Creative writing, especially poetry, can be a difficult space to access without the right tools, atmosphere and feedback. But with these tools, and regular practice, you can be a more confident and more varied writer, in whatever field you're working in (or would like to work in). I've found that writing habitually is a therapeutic experience, mentally and spiritually, as well as a good opportunity to connect and share with people.

Matt - United Kingdom£16

£16Poetry writing: explore the building blocks for fun and effective poems!

This class will introduce you to some building blocks for writing effective poetry. This will focus on imaginative and descriptive aspects of poetry, as opposed to technical and academic aspects. It also works for creative writing in general. However, it will specifically focus on some of the more playful and concise elements of poetry, as opposed to the structure and narrative of prose, for example. There are a lot of barriers and negative preconceptions around poetry which I am to dismantle - building confidence and making poetry feel fun, as opposed to fearful! Enthusiasm is more important to me than academic ability. I also welcome pupils who speak English as an additional language and will try my best to accommodate as many access needs as possible. Please message me if you have any access needs that you'd like to discuss in advance.

Asmita - London£22

£22Close analysis in poetry: for students and writers

Close analysis is something you will need whether you are taking English literature exams or whether you are thinking of writing your own poems. It always helps to know how to analyse one first. In this class, you will learn key tips on how to improve your close analysis, specifically working on spotting and defining literary devices while also making links to how they function. Focusing on the structure, tone, and narrative voice, you will learn how to dissect a poem, speak about it, or write about it, effectively adding a new layer to your argument. It will be an accessible and concrete way to address these abstract concepts of literature, helping you further your knowledge in the world of poetry.

Fraser - Holloway, United Kingdom£69

£69Reading English Literature; Elizabethan to the Modern

Confronting powerful literature is not only rewarding in itself but it teaches you much about yourself and the world around you. In order to get the most out of reading literature, a refined taste and ability to read must be taught. The act of writing is one of the highest forms of thought we possess. It teaches us how to organise our minds, how to express ourselves genuinely, and opens us to a multiplicity of lives.

John - France£35

£35Online English Literature Lessons to suits your needs and interests (from PhD in Literature)

With thirteen years' teaching experience, in universities, private institutes, secondary schools and as a private tutor, I have a PhD in Comparative Literature and a broad understanding of learning techniques and approaches. I am friendly, approachable, and will tailor my teaching to your needs, objectives, likes and dislikes. With expertise across English and Anglophone Literature, theory and criticism, Comparative and French Literature, different exams and curricula, I feel confident helping you achieve your aims, whether personal, professional, or exam based. My research focuses on contemporary poetry, postcolonial literature, music and popular culture, ecopoetry and nature writing. I have taught a whole range of periods, movements and critical approaches. I also have many years' experience teaching English as a second language, including conversation skills for different contexts. I also teach writing skills, both professional and academic (including essay writing), and am happy to tailor classes to specific aims (for an event, a presentation, an interview, a specific professional field). I think that teaching works best when it works on your level: you can learn English through discussion of music, TV series, books, and more - I am happy to integrate grammar and learning points into this. In terms of Literature, we can approach a book, author, poem, play, theoretical work, movement or moment, together, and in different ways, drawing on the classes and materials I have developed over ten years in leading Parisian universities (I have also worked in the British and US university contexts). I am also happy to teach creative writing skills - particularly poetry and non-fiction, so please feel free to ask about this, too!

Besiana - Amsterdam, Netherlands£46

£46Creative writing - Poetry in English - Learn how to write beautiful poetry

Trusted teacher: In the modern world, the significance of poetry is overlooked. From Aristotle to Derrida (the range is not comprehensive), literary theory has maintained that a poem's power is measured in its affect. Throughout this course, our goal will not be to make inscrutable poetic analysis - though the first part of the lesson will be spent analysing word choice, meter, line length and spaces of an English poem written between pre-modernism and postmodernism. Rather, through our perusal of poetic form we will be able to ground our work, somewhat modestly, in the English poetic tradition. Before the first class you will send me some of your own work so I know how to build or refine aesthetic temperament. I have been writing poetry for ten years and two years ago I published a chapbook at a press with competitive standards, and I am currently working on a full-length collection. If you wish to take up poetry seriously, time is needed and an eye for detail is essential. I look forward to us broadening our aesthetic sensibilities together.

Lina

I have been taking vocal lessons with Lina for some time now, and I can definitely say she is a very professional and cultured teacher. I mostly appreciate her keen observation, which helps her make her classes tailored to your goals and needs. Lina is the type of teacher who inspires and empowers you to take control of your own learning journey, as she says, 'to become a teacher of your own.' Joyful and enthusiastic, with a very warm presence, she makes you walk out of her lesson equipped with clear goals, positive energy, and determination.
