My YouTube channel is home to my popular interactive poetry tutorial videos, which are used by hundreds of thousands of teachers and children across the world each year and have been featured on BBC Bitesize.

You can write an awesome poem right now if you click play on the video to the left - it only takes 5 minutes!

 

I run two live online poetry workshops a month, which are suitable for children aged 5-12. We usually start with a few fun (and quite silly) warm up games to build confidence and skills, before I guide the group through a prompt-based writing exercise set out in a similar approach to the tutorial videos I make for my channel.
