Engaging with English Literature and Creative WritingI study English and Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham. I have experience in writing and have published many articles in the Redbrick Newspaper. My original poem in the International Phonetic Alphabet has been 'highly commended' in the 2020 Language for Literature Competition. I am the CAL Ambassador at the UoB, and also a Student Rep. I was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Scholarship to study at the UoB. I have scored 98% in English in grade 12th (A level equivalent). I have also got a Medal of Distinction and a Certificate of Distinction by getting the 25th zonal rank in the first level of International English Olympiad in the same grade. My school rank was the first. I qualified for the second level and got the certificate of Zonal Excellence for the 22nd zonal rank too. I have also been awarded with trophies of Overall Proficiencies and scholar badges, every year from the grade 6th to 10th for a 10/10 CGPA.
I am here for whatever you need me - whether that be creative writing sessions, or a topic specific preparation for a test in English Literature, I can provide you the same. We can work together in achieving your goal. I can make you feel comfortable about yourself and your studies, as my work surrounds mental health. If you are shy to meet new people, that's no problem - as I said, we'd work together.

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.

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.

Trained in a European Grande Ecole & Ivy League University in the United States, specialized and has been working in Europe and North America for more than 16 years in this field, in reputable international institutions , also intervening in forums and conferences.
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.
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.

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!
