About Jake
I believe that everyone has the capacity to work smarter, not harder - creativity is a beautiful thing and helping students get the most out of their lessons is really fulfilling.
I have a master's degree in creative writing, and a bachelor's in English literature. I've been teaching for two years almost at college level, but I have experience working across all student levels and ages.
I also have industry experience; worked years for a video game company as their narrative designer, so I have some insight into the inner workings of the working world for creatives.
About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I teach practical approaches to creative writing, with fun, interesting ways designed to maximize creative output, motivation, and seeing the potential in themselves.
My lessons are always fair, reasonable and easy-going, with an "assume nothing" approach that allows students to feel comfortable asking questions and developing knowledge.
We can work around lesson plans, long-term goals and fair use of time.

I've worked closely with Jake for some time, focusing on understanding the craft of writing and how to best apply this to my creative writing, and my vision as a writer moving forwards. As someone who really struggles with anxiety, I was worried that I would get overwhelmed easily and it would be too stressful, but Jake's calm demeanour and mindful approach helped a great deal.
I would highly recommend working with Jake, and hope to continue working with him in the future!Jake and I read literature together at university and have remained colleagues and friends ever since. Jake's approach to his studies was one of pensive curiosity. I was always impressed by the breadth of his knowledge which surpassed academia, applying discourse to his wide reading which spans across journalism and philosophy. He possesses the unique ability to adapt to challenges and criticism, consistently ready to hear views contrary to his own; he is a team player and a keen problem solver.
