Teaching Screenwriting & Film Making

The M.A. Screenwriting is the course I did myself some years ago. I run workshops for the short script module, and deliver industry lectures.

I teach as a sessional tutor on the M.A. Screenwriting at the London College of Communication every autumn, running workshops for the short script module. I also give industry lectures to both the first termers and the final termers (4-term course). In 2024, I supplied an all-day workshop on aspects of audio story telling.

Teaching on the Visual Tools module of the B.A. in Digital Film Making. Also assessed marked residuals. 2022 and again in spring 2024.

At Ravensbourne University in Greenwich, London, I've been a sessional tutor on the Visualisation Tools module of the B.A. Digital Film Production.

This module teaches the last year students about the business, how to manage their careers and affairs, and every aspect of stepping up the ladder. The students must pass this module to graduate, and went from the basics of how to shake hands advancing to creating a professional social media profile and CV. Plus the intricacies of networking and maintaining relationships.

2022 and 2024, spring semester only.

Teaching a group of 12 students on the scriptwriting module of B.A. Film Production. Some of them didn't speak or write in English making for unusual communications and presentations.

I've taught at Farnham UCA on a scriptwriting module of the B A Film Production with 12 pupils learning the basics of scriptwriting over six weeks.

This included students for whom English was not their first language. I had to mark their essays and accompanying videos, as well as their ability to create and present a short film script.

Infrequent lectures as part of the scriptwriting B.A.

Focusing on mentoring young women in their last year at school. Supplied free to A Level students.

I've also been mentoring younger women. In 2023, I mentored a schoolgirl for the Young Film Makers Academy and in 2024, I'm mentoring a woman for the Mentor Me initiative run by Team Cavalry. Find out more https://www.cavalryfreelancing.com/

Every October I attend the Careers Fair at Pimlico Academy in Central London talking to students about to choose their GCSE subjects, and to older students who are in the first year of A Levels.

I'm currently providing free mentoring a newbie scriptwriter for this organisation.
