Creative Writing with Luisa
Hi, I’m Luisa Plaja!
I’m an author, editor, linguist and creative writing tutor.
My first short story was published in a national magazine when I was 14 years old. My novels, stories and non-fiction books have since been published in many countries.
I’ve always been passionate about reading and writing. I’m enthusiastic about inspiring a love of the written word in children and teenagers, aiming to spark lifelong creativity.
Group classes: Lively, fun writing activities
Writing is a magical form of communication. Join a small group class with me to maximise the enjoyment. We’ll spark each other’s ideas and imaginations, we’ll laugh together and generally have friendly fun with words and writing!
One-to-one: Focus your child’s imagination
Would you prefer a more tailored approach? I can give one-to-one lessons focusing on specific skills or simply guiding your children through the development of their own stories from start to finish.
Distance learning: Encouragement and support with full flexibility
If you need more flexibility, try an approach that fits around all of your commitments. I can send you study notes and writing exercises for your child to complete in their own time. You can then send me a picture of their written work for my feedback and support whenever it’s convenient for you.
Experienced Professional
I have a first class honours degree in Linguistics and a Cambridge CELTA English teaching certificate. I’m a multi-published author in several countries. I’ve been a professional in the world of words and writing for many, many (yikes!) years. Find out more about me.
DBS Checked
I hold an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate for working with children.
Fun for All!
I have a lively, fun, inclusive approach in my group lessons. I tailor my one-to-one sessions to each student.
Fair, Friendly Pricing
My rates are competitive and clear. Please contact me for more details.
Luisa’s lessons were great. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed them and was always waiting for the next lesson. She usually starts a story and never finishes but the lessons with Luisa motivated her to write a story from start to finish. What I liked as a parent was, Luisa sends emails at end of every lesson with summary of what was discussed and worksheets which were quite useful to revisit later.
In a nutshell, creative writing with Luisa was amazing!
