About Ezzie
I’m a writer, reader and teacher who has always loved language and the worlds it creates. I spent over 20 years teaching English in secondary schools and now enjoy working with adults in a more relaxed, individual way. I’m a published writer and have written novels, short fiction and poetry, as well as running creative writing groups and workshops. I know that writing, studying or returning to learning can sometimes feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space where people can experiment, ask questions, and develop their skills without feeling judged. Away from teaching and writing, I’m an enthusiastic reader, cat owner and lifelong learner. I believe learning should be interesting, enjoyable and shaped around the person doing it

I am a qualified teacher with over 20 years' experience teaching English, as well as a published writer. My approach is friendly, supportive and flexible, and lessons will be shaped around what you want to achieve rather than following a one-size-fits-all programme.
For creative writing, I can help you develop ideas, find ways into a piece of writing, explore character, setting and structure, or work on writing you already have in progress. I believe people learn to write by writing, so sessions will be practical and conversational, with plenty of opportunity to experiment and develop your own voice.
I can also offer English tuition for adults who would like to improve their reading, literacy or understanding of literature. We can begin by talking about what you would like help with and build lessons around your particular goals, interests and level.
Lessons are online and typically last an hour. They are suitable for adults at any level, including people returning to writing or study after a long break. You don't need to arrive already feeling confident. Part of my job is to help you discover what you can do, and build from there.

I was taught by Ezzie when I was at school, and I’ve always remembered her as a genuinely brilliant English teacher. She made the subject engaging and encouraged me to think creatively, while also helping me develop a much stronger understanding of writing, language and how to express ideas clearly.
A lot of what I do now involves writing, and I think the confidence I developed with language during those years has definitely stayed with me.
Ezzie is patient, encouraging and really does care about getting the best out of the people she teaches. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English. Without her, I certainly wouldn’t be where I am now.I met Ezzie at a writers conference several years ago. Her passion for the written word and the emotions she conveys in language are inspiring and thought-provoking. She is a gentle, approachable person who is a pleasure to work with.
Ezzie is a wonderful tutor. She has a friendly, relaxed and open attitude. Her background as a teacher and author shows in her confident and encouraging manner.
I would heartily recommend her.Ezzie is a fabulous, experienced English teacher who is an expert in her subject. We worked together in the same English department a few years ago. She builds great relationships with her tutees and is a fun teacher!
