Creative Writing Lesson: Explore, Develop & Hone your Imagination through Writing

From 36 £ /h

My lessons are safe spaces where anybody can explore, experiment with and develop their imagination and creativity. I focus on making every lesson feel like a practical workshop rather than a traditional lecture.
You may bring whatever you have — an idea, a first line, a half-written chapter, a finished story, a drawing, coursework, or even nothing at all — and together we’ll figure out where you are in your creative process.

From there:
We make and we test. We write and read it out loud. Hearing your own words will help you spot what works and what needs improving.

We work on your project. Some students like specific exercises, others prefer to develop their own novel, screenplay or school assignment with personalised feedback. Every lesson is adapted to your goal and pace.

We work through a writer’s biggest challenge; writer’s block. Whether you are struggling to come up with ideas or you find yourself stuck; I will help you overcome it. A practical way might be a 10-minute freewrite, interviewing one of your characters, stripping a scene back to pure dialogue or trying a completely different exercise to get your imagination moving again.
Finally, you’ll leave each lesson with practical tools, clear next steps and techniques to build momentum, confidence and creative discipline. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy the creative process and feel excited to keep writing long after the lesson ends.

I work with students aged 6 and above, from complete beginners to more experienced writers. I also teach English and German.

-You may bring any creative project you want to work on

About Me

I'm a writer, actor and filmmaker based in Central London. I've been writing for 11 years across novels, novellas, screenplays, plays, songs and poetry.

I trained in theatre and cinema in Paris, and that's where my process changed. Writing wasn't just about what looked good on paper, but about what worked when spoken and performed. You learn quickly how to connect with others.

That's why I teach around one core principle: Idea; Concept; Vision; Execution.

Everyone has ideas. The real skill is learning how to turn an idea into a clear concept, build a compelling vision with believable characters, narratives and structure, and then follow through with the discipline to finish and revise the story. That's what I've learned through years of writing and performing.
This is the mindset I aim to pass on to every student.

Education

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION (IN BRIEF):
➤Unleash your writing skills and finally realize your writing project!
Novels, short stories, life stories, theses, songs or simple texts: these workshops help you overcome your blocks and transform your ideas into vivid and inspiring stories.

➤ Together, we will work to:
-Overcome your fear of the blank page and awaken your creativity
-Develop style, vocabulary, coherence and authenticity
-Creating characters, settings, and captivating storylines
-Explore your imagination, your emotions, and your flaws to turn them into a strength
-Alternating theory and practice with concrete exercises and personalized feedback

➤ Proofreading, correction, optimization of your texts possible.
➤Objective: to write with pleasure, progress faster and bring your project to completion.

➤Let yourself be guided: your dream of writing can become a reality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
➤Exploring and sharing the pleasure of words, building the stories that inhabit you, developing your expression, deepening your creativity, exploring contemporary writing, proposing a novel, short stories, a life story, an (auto)biography, a fiction, an essay, song lyrics, various texts or simply a report, a thesis, a report for professional or academic purposes... these are among the objectives of these workshops to deepen or initiate writing and realize one's aspirations by prioritizing the pleasure of writing based on elements of personalized pedagogy.

➤Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally complete your project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.
➤ Overcome your fears
➤ Discover the secret to producing high-quality writing that's 100% enjoyable and 0% writer's block.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, overcome your fear of writing. Isn't it frustrating to be consumed by the desire to write your project and yet unable to do so? Break down that insurmountable wall that's holding you back.

This involves combining improvements in form with refinements in content. For example, concrete techniques for starting your text and overcoming writer's block, feedback/suggestions on your texts, writing and style exercises based on a prompt, a series of precise/pragmatic recommendations and their implementation.

That is why, if your manuscript is stuck and you don't know how to start or continue it, if you have all the ideas but don't know what form they should take, if you want to save time in the creative process: let's build the architecture of your story together.

Learning objectives include:
• Discover writing, build confidence, let your own literary voice/path emerge, and unleash your imagination
• Studying and constructing a text, song lyrics...
• Calmly refine the style and create consistency between form and content
• Research and develop your vocabulary
• Acquire techniques and know-how to convey your message both clearly and simply
• Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others
• Explore your creativity and develop your expression
• To construct a complete story by creating characters, settings, lively scenes...
• Acquire and master practical writing tools, always with a focus on simplicity/simplification and efficiency (both in content and form)
• Discover contemporary writing and diversify your practice
• Acquire narrative techniques to engage in long stories

So, start, resume or finish a piece of writing you have dreamed of for a long time if you want to write but don't know where to start; if you have a story but don't know how to tell it; if you love to write but have lost your inspiration; if you have a manuscript buried in a drawer and you are afraid of failing.

To achieve this, the first step is to unleash your writing and let go: strengthen your imagination, explore your inspiration, and cultivate your originality. Next, turn your weaknesses into a driving force for writing by exploring your wounds to better utilize them and adopt an effective writing method. Finally, master writing techniques and bring characters to life while crafting captivating stories, controlling pacing, and developing suspenseful plots.

All this by combining theory and practical/concrete applications: writing assignments based on exercises and then within the framework of your project.

During the sessions, you will be guided in your writing project. The trainer will support you in your written communication and offer tools, while helping you to work on and/or optimize your style and imagination.

Proofreading, revising, correcting and formatting articles, theses, etc.: these options are also possible.

Furthermore, these sessions allow one to improve one's written communication and to study the different methods to achieve this (email, letter, report, presentation...), both in terms of content and form.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

I’m a certified Chinese teacher who enjoys helping learners discover that Chinese can be both practical and enjoyable. With a strong interest in communication and people, I am especially good at working with teenagers, building trust with them, understanding their learning needs, and encouraging them to express themselves with confidence. Rather than focusing only on textbooks and grammar, I like to make lessons lively, relevant, and connected to real life.

I also enjoy working with adult learners, whether they are beginners, professionals, parents, or simply people who have always wanted to learn Chinese. I understand that adults often have different goals, learning habits, and concerns, so I adapt my teaching style to each individual. I’m particularly good at teaching adults through sharing and meaningful exchange. I place greater emphasis on listening and guiding learners rather than relying on a one-way, input-based teaching approach. I hope to be not only a teacher, but also a supportive learning partner who helps you make steady progress—and enjoy the journey of learning Chinese along the way.

Writing doesn’t have to be complicated. Often, the hardest part is simply figuring out what you want to say, organizing your thoughts, and getting started.

In this class, I’ll help you turn your ideas into clear, organized, confident writing. We’ll work on practical skills such as creating a strong structure, developing paragraphs, making your argument easy to follow, choosing the right words, editing unnecessary language, and writing with a natural voice.

This is a supportive, one-on-one class designed around your goals and your level. You don’t need to consider yourself a “good writer” to begin. You can bring something you’re already working on—an essay, report, application, article, professional document, or personal project—or we can work through exercises together.

Depending on your needs, we can focus on:

* Organizing ideas before you start writing
* Creating a clear beginning, middle, and end
* Writing stronger sentences and paragraphs
* Explaining complicated ideas simply
* Building and supporting an argument
* Improving clarity, tone, and flow
* Editing your own work
* Overcoming the feeling of being stuck or not knowing where to begin
* Using AI tools thoughtfully without losing your own ideas and voice

My approach is practical rather than overly focused on grammar rules. Good writing begins with clear thinking. Once we know what you want your reader to understand, we can build the writing around that goal.

I have taught writing, research, and public policy at the university level and have worked professionally as a researcher, author, and communicator. I especially enjoy helping people find the structure inside an idea and develop a writing process they can use on their own.

The goal isn’t just to improve the piece of writing in front of us. It’s to help you become a clearer, more confident writer.

Voice: finding a way of telling the story that feels natural and authentically yours
Presence: becoming more comfortable speaking and holding an audience’s attention
Performance: using timing, rhythm, pauses, physicality and delivery to make a story come alive
