Travel Writing Workshops
“Gill has come in several times to run a workshop with our A level Language students who always benefit from her methodical approach and clear delivery. What is most helpful, from a teacher’s perspective, is her unique way of tailor-making each workshop to suit the demands of the course and a particular group of students; her care and attention in planning makes for a fun and practical session.”
“After the workshop, the students often show progress in their writing skills, in their understanding of journalistic techniques and feel encouraged to ask Gill questions – evidence of her calm and approachable nature!”
“ I thoroughly recommend her!”
