Is your teen struggling with writing or unsure about their skills? This weekly creative writing class is designed to help teens gain confidence, improve writing structure, and unleash creativity—all in a supportive, judgment-free space! This weekly creative writing class is designed for teens who may feel uncertain about their writing skills or are writing at a lower grade level. Each session provides a welcoming and supportive environment where creativity can thrive, and students can discover the joy of expressing their ideas through writing. Unlike purely creative writing classes, this is also an ELA-focused class where students learn essential skills like: ✅ Organizing ideas clearly ✅ Writing with detail and structure ✅ Strengthening sentence clarity ✅ Exploring storytelling and character creation What Makes This Class Unique? 📌 No pressure, no grades – A relaxed, encouraging atmosphere 📌 Join anytime – Each class stands alone, so no worries about missing prior lessons 📌 Designed for struggling or reluctant writers – Step-by-step guidance to build confidence What’s Included Each Week? 📚 Creative writing prompt – Fresh themes every session ✨ Practical writing tips – Learn how to structure ideas and add detail 🕰️ Dedicated writing time – Get support while you write Every week features a writing prompt that allows students to explore storytelling, character creation, and imaginative scenarios without the pressure of grades or evaluations. The class focuses on building skills like organizing ideas, crafting clear sentences, and exploring descriptive language—all tailored to help students gain confidence in their writing abilities. This class is ideal for teens who benefit from extra encouragement and are looking for a judgment-free space to develop their writing at their own pace. Example weekly prompts or themes: 1. My Life, My Superpower 2. Twisted Fairytales 3. “What If?” Scenarios 4. The Time Machine 5. Ordinary to Extraordinary 6. A Letter Never Sent 7. Animal Adventures 8. The Midnight Market

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Brighton
I'm Ms. Riot, a creative teacher (certified, qualified and experienced) from London, England. My teaching adventure began at university with the completion of my 4-year degree (Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Primary Education) back in 2007.
In the UK, we achieve our QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) through additional exams and proven experience which I also achieved in 2007. My dissertation allowed me to carry out research into how we can motivate young learners to want to read more. I completed one of my student teaching placements in Arizona, USA and I worked as the Literacy Lead for two summers at a not-for-profit camp in New York, USA.
As an elementary classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, teaching reading lessons across the school. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.
More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity and laughter. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.
