Creative Writing Mentoring - helping you to progress in your creative life!
Are you thinking of writing but having trouble how to start? Have you started writing but seem to have blocks that are stopping you continuing what you’ve started? Or do you feel shy about sharing your creative writing and want to take the next steps? I’ve successfully helped mentor people on their journey into creative writing and in the classes we will take the journey looking at ways to help overcome obstacles that might be stopping or blocking your progresses, or helping you to continue writing you may have started. We will do this with a mixture of looking at your work and thinking of strategies to help you overcome any potential blocks. Although I have a particular interest in writing for plays, (I am a playwright and published poet), this class is for also for those wanting write creatively.

About Me
I am a playwright and published poet with a passion to help mentor those on their creative writing journey.I am especially keen to help those that want to either take the first steps in writing but don’t know how, or those that are struggling with their writing at whatever stage.
As a writer I have gone on a long journey from summoning up the courage for someone else to look at work and to then keeping on progressing despite setbacks and steps forward and what to do next! I know the importance of having a reliable mentor to help you reach all those stages and how important and vital it is in being able to complete work.
Lessons are structured initially depending where you are and what you want; usually it’s helpful in our first session if I can first look at your writing (if you’ve written something), and discuss your ambitions and look at issues currently holding you back; we can then plan further sessions dependent on where you want to target your help - either story progression, blocks keeping you from completing or getting down to write, how to go about getting your work visible etc. As we progress, we can look in depth at things you may want to concentrate on, if that’s obstacles to writing, wanting feedback on your work or just having agreed milestones for your work for our next session. I do feel that sessions and helping people progress are best taken forward when it’s student focused and shaped, although with steering help from me, with an aim of progression of and in your work.

I decided to work with Ros because I had seen some of her plays and got to talk to her after a performance. I found both her work and her personality compelling and thought I could learn a lot from her to materialize my ideas and finish my draft'. In this first session, she was very personable and listened very well to where I was at with my creative work, it felt easy chatting with her about my writing. We talked about my aims as well - it felt good to find someone who took what I was wanting to do seriously! In the session we identified areas that I wanted to work on most and identified a plan for me to write for her and send for our next session. It was very helpful as it clarified my writing. The session felt great as I really felt involved in being able to get across what I wanted to concentrate on, as well as Ros helping me pinpoint what I needed - it felt really collaborative and supportive. In the second session, we worked on structure. Ros took a lot of time to go through it line by line, I was able to talk to her about my choices as well as her giving me feedback, the discussion felt respectful and responsive on both sides. Ros then gave me a few tips to help me be able to go forward about implementing what we had talked about. I loved that she was genuinely encouraging of what I was doing. It means so much to have good support!

So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?
➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.
➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.
➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging

✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations

Tutoring (Child) - Improve your Basic Maths, English and ReadingLanguage is a wonderful skill to have - Having worked in Education for the past 20 years, I know the effort it takes to progress further. If you are a Parent who is concerned about their child and their challenges in school and would like to improve their understanding, I can help you.
I have my own up-to-date visual resources, I give feedback (to the child and Parent) and answer questions throughout. My classes are easy-going, repetitive and there is a recap at the end of each session. I do set homework which is to practice over what has been taught, so that the next stage can be met with confidence, as well as, go over any difficulties.

Hello, dear customer. Meet your legal professional. I'm currently a practicing attorney, skilled writer, and online researcher who delivers exactly what I promise.

The tutor will provide tips on how to write clearly and persuasively, how to structure your arguments, and how to cite legal authorities correctly.

Proofreading and correction of written work such as mature work, end-of-study dissertations, internship reportsI offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.
