James Martin Charlton

My lessons are interactive, practical, and tailored to each student’s needs, whether they are developing their writing skills, exploring storytelling techniques, or deepening their understanding of drama and theatre. I combine structured guidance with creative exercises, discussion, and detailed feedback to help students refine their craft and build confidence in their work.

With extensive experience as a playwright, scriptwriter, and educator, I have taught creative writing, scriptwriting, storytelling, and critical theory at university level and through workshops, mentoring, and one-to-one tuition. I understand the challenges writers face and provide clear, constructive support to help students shape their ideas, strengthen their writing, and develop a critical awareness of their work.

Lessons may focus on specific writing techniques, script analysis, dramaturgy, or industry insights, depending on the student’s goals. Whether you are a beginner looking to build a foundation or an advanced writer seeking focused feedback, I aim to create a dynamic, engaging learning environment that fosters creativity and confidence. My approach is student-centred, ensuring that each session is both productive and inspiring.
