Hi All,
thank you for checking out my course.

This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.

I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.

You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

Would you like to learn how to write poetry or develop your poetic craft with the assistance of an experienced teacher? In this class, we'll work on shaping new drafts whilst learning about international poetic forms as well as producing some free verse work. We'll edit our material and, if we have multiple sessions, we'll put together a brief collection! We will explore the world of the senses, memories, and connect to language in a new, profound way. My course is not prescriptive, and we'll meet your voice wherever you're at right now.

You'll be taught by a published poet with work experience in the UK and North America. I've taught Creative Writing to university students at a world-leading school, and worked with younger audiences, and I'm happy to work with a variety of forms in English. I studied for my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, and won a scholarship as the strongest poet in my cohort.

I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

This isn’t about perfect essays or stiff story structures. Unlock Your Voice is a one-on-one creative writing space built to help people write like they actually feel something. Each session is personal, messy, and different, because every writer is.

We do a mix of everything: character sketches, short scripts, journal letters, even college essays, and whatever else helps you get the words out. Some days it’s about writing freely without overthinking. Other days it’s about pulling apart what you’ve written and finding the heartbeat inside it. There’s no pressure, no grades, just a lot of creative honesty and a few good laughs along the way.

This class is about more than writing well. It’s about finding your rhythm, trusting your thoughts, and learning how to express what you actually mean. By the end, you’ll have a small collection of original work that sounds like you and definitely not like ChatGPT.
