Class Experience

Beginner Level
If your child is new to creative writing and scriptwriting, this lesson is the perfect starting point. 

In this fun beginners course, I'll be helping children learn the art of creative writing and how to turn their imaginative stories into scripts. They'll pick up valuable scriptwriting skills and learn how to bring their stories to life through scripts. These skills can come in handy for future projects like my other courses on turning scripts into sound or bringing scripts to the screen.

In my lessons, students can enjoy child-friendly, on-demand pre-recorded sessions where they can listen and follow along, taking notes at their own pace. There are no live meetings, but you'll have access to weekly teacher support and feedback on projects.
