Creative/ Drama Writing Tuition (available to students of any experience level)
Is there an idea you can't quite get off the ground, or are you curious about how to foster an underlying voice? I'm proud to offer tuition in the realm of creative writing, be it for the page, stage or screen, to people at all stages of their artistic journey. My personal tuition philosophy means that every session is curated for your individual needs and interests, and I will consistently request feedback to ensure no time is wasted on material you don't find enriching. After graduating from the University of Warwick with a first class degree in English and Theatre, and securing one of eight places for writers at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School this year, I want to extend my passion into helping others discover their linguistic flair; tackling the whole spectrum from crafting character, to constructing dialogue and beyond. I've written a dozen plays in the last year alone, so consider myself well acquainted with the pitfalls and complex methodologies of this often tricky art. I hope to use these classes to help you develop more reliable writing practices and overcome the dreaded writer's block once and for all.

About Me
I am a playwright from South Wales, currently located in Bristol. My subject is not only a vocation, but a lifelong passion, and I feel it is imperative to offer help within this field to the young people who require it as part of their educational journey. In my method, every student is approached as a complex, autonomous individual, and it is my job to curate a personal lesson plan that best fits their needs. As well as addressing the basics of essay writing, comprehension and language analysis, it is also my hope to foster a genuine interest in the set texts of the syllabus where perhaps there was not one before.Education
I have a first class BA in English and Theatre studies from the University of Warwick, and am currently studying my for my Masters at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Additionally, I possess five A-Levels (all grade A or higher under the Welsh grading system), and 14 GCSES. I have trained with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, and completed a foundation year at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I also possess a diploma from LAMDA.Experience / Qualifications
I have tutored private clients successfully since the age of 18, and continued to do so during my time at University. During my second year, I taught in a centre outside Birmingham for young boys permanently excluded from the public teaching system.As a graduate of the University of Warwick, I am proud to offer excellent quality tuition in both English Language and Literature at all key stages. I tailor my lesson plan and educational approach to every individual student, ensuring that each receives a session curated for their needs. I specialise in early modern texts, specifically Shakespeare, but can cover any texts on today's syllabus more than comfortably, encouraging my students to develop their own understanding and personal interpretations, then helping them translate these into the essay-question format eloquently. My creative writing is ratified to a professional standard by the Old Vic Theatre school, a worldwide recognised institution where I currently study alongside just seven other writers. I can comfortably tutor all aspects of the English Language course, including descriptive/creative writing, formal writing, travel writing and comprehension.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.
Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:
- Study your text

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

Generative writing lessons in Brussels (English & Dutch), by a published novelistThe purpose of this class is to get you (back to) writing. It doesn't matter if you're stuck or just getting started.
With simple generative writing prompts and exercises, I'll help you overcome your fear of the blank page and start writing. My goal is to help you "rest on the page" and get into a state of flow through techniques like freewriting, list-making, and word associations.
You can also receive individual feedback and support on your current or upcoming writing projects, along with helpful exercises that you can do at home, which we can then discuss.
The class can be taught in either English or Dutch.
Ilona (1992) lives and works in Brussels as a writer, poet, and photographer. Her work examines the fragile architecture of being human, paying particular attention to what hides at the edges of existence, in the shadow of shame. With a background in English literature, linguistics, and political science, she has worked as a writer and copywriter for a decade. Newspaper De Morgen praised her debut novel Donkerkiemer (Pelckmans Publishers, 2023) as ‘particularly cleverly composed' and 'psychologically and philosophically profound’. Themes such as ritual, memory, and loss, as well as a gentle rebellion against prevailing norms and systems, are central to her work. She is currently working on a second novel.

Creative writing for all - begin or continue your journeyIf you are serious about writing, it needs to be worked on in conversation with others, as well as on your own. You may have written for a long time, or just be taking a first step to find a safe environment to share your work with someone else. Writing can be such an enriching practice (which may even transform your life), but this doesn't mean it is easy or fulfilling all the way. There are bumps and blocks and tensions... one great way through them is to start to build a community... a good place to start can be to find someone to guide the process of writing and finding ways to support your creativity. I can also signpost to places to go and can guide you to group opportunities and communities, whatever your means.
I am a published poet and fiction writer and have worked as a writing tutor for 5 years. I have an MA in Creative Writing and am studying towards a PhD. I work as a writing mentor for poets and writers from many different backgrounds.

Telling the truth: Creative writing for radical transformationThis class will assist you in accessing the layer of your being which knows exactly what needs to be said, and exactly how to say it. This is a place where words flow like liquid, a layer of the viscera of our energetic bodies where the truth rises through us like sap. We have all been entrained to fear telling the truth, and for a lot of us, that fear interferes with our ability to access this place of knowing. It is the place that prophecy comes from and it is both within us and part of us, but what comes through it is not just of us- it is a flow of honesty which carries the nutrition that the system we are a part of needs.
I will attune to your process and find the places where tweaks, breath, or attention may provide a fulcrum around which your system can reorient to change, and bring you more frequently and more fully to this place of connection.
Please note, my prices are heavily discounted for the moment while I'm workshopping this material- my next group of students will be integral to helping develop the material, so the hourly rate reflects that!
