Teaching Experience:

"My teaching experience in my specialist subject(s) has primarily been in an online social media capacity which has incorporated Blog networking via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn whilst utilising the Microsoft Office suite of applications and other word processing apps. I have been responsible for delivering creative writing lessons over the past couple of years for people of all ages who have been looking to develop their own ideas and subsequently publish them via the Internet. Previously I was coaching potential voice over actors/artists in the development of ideas and demos for Radio Drama Production and career profiles. My teaching methods have been fully adapted for both an online and classroom environment."

Teaching Approach:

"Every student requires an individual programme of training development, therefore I aim to cater to developing their current skills set along with achieving further knowledge and techniques. I feel it is important to incorporate a variety of creative thinking methods relevant to the student's needs to develop their project. Music is very prominently accessed throughout the course of lessons which will enable the student to approach their ideas in a variety of ways. Through the delivery of such methods it has allowed people to gain confidence in building their own online networks and maintain the development and promotion of them across a variety of platforms. The creative writing tutoring is one which will motivate your aspirations towards producing your own ideas for potential publishing opportunities."
