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. You can arrange online or in-person sessions at times that suit your schedule, making art and craft accessible and flexible.

Creative writing is the practice of using vivid language, imagination, and storytelling techniques to evoke emotion, entertain, and explore ideas. 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.

Wyzant helps learners succeed by providing expert instruction, personalized feedback, and a supportive learning environment. With flexible scheduling and choice of instructors, students can build confidence, strengthen writing skills, and bring their creative ideas to life.
