    Creative Writing Support for Beginners and Non-native English Learners

    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
