WELCOME TO THE STORY ROOM

Whether your child is a confident writer or struggles to get their ideas down on the page, The Story Room has something for everyone. Our relaxed approach, whether it be in a workshop setting or in one-to-one English tuition, nurtures and inspires learners, enabling them to develop their writing and English skills. Our tutors and workshop leaders are writers who passionately believe in the benefits of writing for all. We understand the difficulties that a writer faces in communicating their creative thoughts effectively and this enables us to work with children of all writing levels. We believe our approach helps to boost a child across the whole curriculum.

We love teaching English skills to children and are forever on the hunt for new story-writing ideas for our writers!

Our broad range of activities are for children aged 5-16 years old. We run holiday workshops, term-time writing clubs, 11-plus courses,  bespoke writing workshops, afterschool clubs, author workshops and book clubs.

You can attend our classes in London N21 and online.
