I too felt that I would have loved to have gotten the chance to hang out with her. The other great thing about her is that she listens to what I want, she does not get upset easily or makes ger own decisions about what to teach. We worked closely together and she always was on the same page as me. For creative writing or learning handwriting, I recommend this lovely tutor wholeheartedly! I hope to see her again in the summer!

About creative writing

On Wyzant, students can connect with experienced tutors in creative writing, including fiction, poetry, screenwriting, memoirs, and other imaginative styles. Whether you’re a beginner learning storytelling techniques or an experienced writer looking to refine your voice, Wyzant offers personalized lessons to help you develop your craft.

It encompasses genres like novels, short stories, poetry, scripts, and more, with a focus on character development, plot, imagery, and style. Unlike academic or technical writing, creative writing emphasizes originality, expression, and the use of unique voices.
