Online Workshops for Adults

I’ve been conducting teacher training workshops since 2015! In August 2025, for the first time, I conducted an independent online workshop on teaching creative writing. I was overwhelmed by the response!

How can we teach children to write a complete story from start to finish? How can we give them meaningful feedback?

These were the two most common questions I was asked during my previous workshop on teaching creative writing, and that’s why my next workshop focuses on teaching story writing.

FAQs

Who are these workshops for?

Educators of all kinds.

If you want to teach creative writing and you are not sure how to go about it, this workshop will give you a toolkit with printable exercises and activity ideas.

Who are these workshops NOT for?

My workshops are NOT for:

  • those looking to improve their language skills
  • those who want help writing a book/poem/story
  • those who want to find out about the publishing process
  • those who want feedback on their own writing

Do note that at the moment, I’m not conducting workshops that will help you work on the craft of writing. While you will learn about story writing during the next workshop, the focus will be on how you could go about teaching writing.

What exactly will we do?

I will lead you through a step-by-step session on writing a complete story. This will give you an idea of how you could do something similar with children. At each stage, I will focus on how you can give feedback on technique and style. 

Do note that each workshop introduces new activities and exercises. This means that even if you’ve joined one workshop, you won’t find the next one repetitive!

Will you give us feedback on our writing?

While this is not a creative writing workshop, I will be giving you feedback on your writing with the objective of helping you understand how you could give feedback to your students. As such, the feedback I give you will be restricted to the writing exercises we do during the session.

Is there a free trial class?

No, sorry.

Do you offer refunds?

No, sorry. Once the fee is paid, it is non-refundable.

What does the fee include?

The fee includes access to the workshop, a recording that you will be able to access for one month after the workshop, and a step-by-step guide to story writing, as well as a printable plot graph.
