Children's poetry and story-writing in Steyning, Shoreham and Henfield

Making Writing Exciting!

If it ever feels like school, then I'm not doing it right! 😃

🌟 Celebrating Creativity
Your child will love playing games and competitions that sharpen their writing skills and boost their confidence!

🌟 A Fun Twist on the Curriculum
Get ready for my interactive lessons, songs and puzzles that make punctuation and grammar not just fun, but unforgettable!

🌟 Tailored Especially to Your Child
Every lesson is personalised to your child... whether they're into football or dinosaurs, the biggest challenge will be getting them to put their pencil down at the end!

What Makes Me Tick?

When I was a teaching assistant, I was always amazed by the imagination kids bring to their writing.

Unfortunately, with creativity often overlooked in the curriculum, one in three children aren't gaining the writing skills they need for secondary school and beyond*. 😱

That's where I step in! With my English degree and a passion for storytelling, I'm here to help children become confident and skilled writers — all while having lots of fun!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Ryan has been a brilliant tutor for my 11 year old son. His lessons are fun and very interactive.

Before working with Ryan, he didn't like writing and couldn't express his thoughts on paper well.

Now he enjoys writing stories and I enjoy reading them. Thank you Ryan!"
