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.

Reshma - Brussels, Belgium£22

£22Creative Writing / Creative Writing in English and French

Trusted teacher: I studied Language Sciences and Literature in Paris, where I also did tutoring sessions for students in difficulty. I also studied Game Design and Narrative Design. Being a musician, I write song lyrics for several projects. I have been writing poetry and freelance writing for over 10 years. I am also a content creator for a French-speaking Belgian webzine; Shoot Me Again. My background in literature and linguistics helped me to have a sensitivity to language. I bring a lot of importance to the weight of the words and to the rhythm in my writings. My diverse experience has helped me build a solid background. I can teach poetry, how to write song lyrics, spontaneous writing for the Spoken Word for example but also how to structure an article, a dissertation or any other writing. I can also help you write a lore, a scenario and dialogues for a video game. Write to me to have access to a piece of my portfolio! See you soon :)

Trusted teacher: I am a South Korean poet and actor. I currently live in the Netherlands. Last year, I taught children at a Korean language school in Eindhoven. Because I was an actor, my Korean pronunciation is very accurate and can be of great help in developing your Korean conversation skills. Also, since I am a poet, I can also teach classes on Korean literature. In the Netherlands I make a living as a musician. So, it is possible to take classes to learn Korean while learning K-pop.

Abd Wahabi Adio - Nigeria£47

£47English grammar, morphology, syntax. Poetry sonnet, rhyme, free verse.

Poetry is a way of life. Poetry allows you to express emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a creative and meaningful way. Poetry can help individuals develop their language skills, enhance their creativity, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Additionally, reading and writing poetry can be a therapeutic and cathartic process, providing a means of self-reflection and emotional release. English poetry has become phenomenal and has grown over the years, since the medieval times. I specialised in teaching English language as a second language, from grammar to composition. I am also enthusiastic about teaching poetry, showing people the beauty of writing, especially poetry.

Using my passion for literature, and guided by notes and essays i still have from my own GCSEs, for which i obtained a grade 9, this lesson is designed to guide the student into understanding the material presented, being able to compare between any two poems confidently, as well as being able to write a well structured and comprehensive essay that will obtain them a higher grade. Note: I will also have classes specifically for other elements of the course targeted for different sections and papers, such as An Inspector Calls and AQA English Language. If the student needs tutoring in any combination or all of these subject areas, you can still feel free to book lessons in a package and just specify what areas you want me to focus on. I am also hoping to be able to teach Romeo and Juliet and A Christmas carol, but need to go through and remake notes and refresh my understandig of these works to ensure high quality tutoring sessions, so teaching of these may be delayed. Note 2: due to circumstaces out of my control I am aiming to begin lessons in Early July, but may be able to do a few intro sessions for students who are interested.

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.
