Screen Writing & Tuition
I do acting and screen writing class online and in person, and everyone teaches differently but the way I see writing is coming from the heart When teaching screenwriting, begin with emotion. Ask students what makes their hearts sing or twinge, what moments in their lives or in film and TV have truly moved them.
Good stories start with genuine feeling; structure and dialogue come later.
Great Stories
Every great story begins with a feeling — a spark that makes your heart sing or twinge. Before structure, dialogue, or format, screenwriting starts with emotion. What moments in your life made you stop and think “Oh my God”? What films or series have made you laugh, cry, or feel something deep?
Good writing is about connection — capturing a truth that others recognise. As a storyteller, your job is to explore that feeling through your characters: who they are, what they want, and what stands in their way. Every story is a journey of transformation, and that change is what keeps an audience watching.
From there, we’ll shape those emotions into story — discovering your why, your character’s goal, and the obstacles that define their path. Together, we’ll explore how to turn raw feeling into structure, building your narrative around desire and change using the five-act framework that underpins the best screenwriting.
Because at its core, storytelling isn’t about scripts or scenes — it’s about the truth of being human.
Vision
Encourage them to explore why certain characters resonate with them and why they want to tell stories in the first place. Screenwriting is about connection, showing transformation through experience. Once emotion is clear, I guide them through the fundamentals: Character (who they are, what they want, what’s in their way), Story (the emotional truth being explored), Plot (what happens to reveal that truth), and Setting (the world, time, and mood). From there, introduce the five-act structure. The Why (reason for telling the story), The Goal (what the protagonist wants most), and The How (their struggle to get it). A Reminder that at its heart, storytelling is always about desire and change.
