About Olive
I’m a creative writing workshop leader and private tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience, passionate about helping learners of all ages explore the power of storytelling. I’ve had the privilege of leading workshops for primary and secondary school students, teens, and adults, fostering creativity and confidence in a variety of settings.
With a joint honours degree in Linguistic Science and English Literature from the University of York, I combine a love of language with years of hands-on teaching experience. Some of my most rewarding projects include Writing for Impact: Using Narrative Techniques in Campaigns at International Alert, and the Jotters Writing Club at St. Joseph’s Primary School.
Whether guiding young writers or seasoned storytellers, I’m committed to creating a supportive, inspiring space where ideas can flourish.

I am a friendly and dedicated professional who tailors each lesson to help students achieve their unique writing goals—whether they’re diving into the first draft of a novel, crafting school assignments, or simply exploring the joy of creative writing. My approach blends personalized, well-structured lessons with engaging exercises that build confidence and spark creativity. I also provide in-depth feedback that’s both constructive and encouraging, helping students refine their skills while staying motivated.
For example, I’ve guided budding novelists through world-building and character development, breaking big projects into manageable steps to keep the process exciting rather than overwhelming. For those looking to have fun with writing, I’ve created playful prompts and collaborative storytelling activities that unleash creativity in a low-pressure environment.
I pride myself on being adaptable, adjusting my teaching style and workload to suit each student’s pace and preferences—whether that means diving deep into technical aspects like plot structure or focusing on simply getting some words on the page. Every student’s style is unique, and I’m committed to ensuring they feel supported whatever their goals or experience!

My girl has been with Olive for over 2yrs, she is doing really well in her English and she has so much interest in creative writing thanks to Olive. It is always something my girl is looking for in a week and she enjoys the homework assigned by Olive, never a problem asking her to finish the task. Olive is very kind, encouraging and patient, I can't recommend her highly enough.
I have been taking English Literature classes from Olive and it is a real pleasure to work with her. She is not only intellectually stimulating but also very professional and always very well prepared for our lessons.
Olive has been an excellent tutor. My daughter loves having lessons with her, and communication has been top notch.
She has been very polite and accommodating throughout.
I can recommend her wholeheartedly.
Olive’s English tutoring has really turned things round for my daughter. She believed she wasn’t a creative person and was totally switched off from English. Olive’s positive attitude has made a huge difference and the lessons have been completely personalised to my daughter’s needs. My daughter is doing so much better in English now and has gained hugely in confidence. Massive thanks to Olive for all she has done!
Olive has an extensive knowledge of literature and a genuine love for language making her the perfect tutor. She is full of enthusiasm, energy and passion which makes her a brilliant tutor. She is diligent, thorough and professional and I would recommend her as a tutor.
I had been struggling to write during the lockdown. So, in my desperation, I signed up for a creative writing tutor who turned out to be Olive. A lot of her advice about narrative structure, story structure and even just get-myself-into gear prompts has managed to get me out of my rut and I'm now putting in at least half an hour a day into my writing. I feel like I'm getting back on track with my novel. I'm not sure whether or not I still need help, but I've continued the lessons as it helps me feel accountable and it's good to know there's at least one other voice out there expecting a result from my efforts.
Olive tutored my son Oliver when he was in Year 5, she was an amazing help with his English and because of her expert help he successfully got a place at his chosen secondary school. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Olive.
Olive is such a dedicated teacher. She really takes the time explaining the things I need to learn and is really patient and kind. I really enjoy our lessons together!
