What I teach: I specialise in teaching English, creative writing, the craft of playwriting, and contemporary literature.. I am well experienced in working with a variety of clients and have taught and mentored in universities, theatres, theatre companies, and charities. I have specialised experience in teaching undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and adult tutoring, but am flexible to the needs and goals of the student.
How I teach: My teaching style is patient, flexible, interesting, and accessible. My focus is to support the student find confidence, skills, their style, voice, and passion for literature, drama, and creative writing. I run each lesson dependent on what the overall goal of the student is, and will build towards that. Each lesson is between 1 and 2 hours. I keep it focused on a specific craft tool or skill, with a variety of stimulating exercises and examples through specific reading resources tailored to the student's interests. We will work together to focus and develop your craft, confidence, and writing style.
You might be looking for extra support with your studies in English, Literature, Drama, or Creative Writing.
You might be looking for extra support with a piece of creative writing you are working on, or would like some mentoring towards professional goals.
You might want some specific dramaturgical support with a play or script you are writing.
You might not have tried playwriting before and would like a supportive introduction into the craft.
Wherever you are in your journey, we will work together to best support you as a writer, a creative, and to work towards achieving your goals.

Tamsin is a practitioner and researcher at the forefront of theatrical practice. They've worked with some of the best theatres in the country, and on some of the smaller stages too. I've had the benefit of their insight on my own theatre scripts many times, and it has always been invaluable.
