Welcome to the creative writing tuition page for 11plushappy.
You’re here because you want to transform or refine your child’s creative writing to ensure they’re exam-ready on the day, and have practised deliberately, skilfully, confidently and happily along the way.
I’m here because I’m a creative writing specialist, author, tutor and former primary teacher dedicated to helping children produce their very best writing at an outstanding level. I’ve written 3 books for parents and tutors (11+ Creative Writing System) dedicated to 11+ creative writing for exams. I’ve also tutored successfully for the 11+ for over 17 years, and will continue to do so as long as I’m on this Earth. I love writing, I love teaching, and would love to support you and your child in the coming year.
