Welcome to The Creative Writers Academy. My name is Sophia Ovonlen and I am the lead teacher here. I am an expert teacher and absolutely enjoy helping children achieve their maximum potential. I have been doing this for over 15 years and it is a wonderful privilege to be a vital part of children's learning journey.
In the last five years, my awesome team and I have organised several Creative Writing camps and workshops for children and teachers in Nigeria. Please look through the gallery to see the photos.
The arrival Covid-19 pandemic helped us reach even more people beyond borders. In August 2020, our Creative Writing Online Summer Camp had 62 children from four countries. This gave us the confidence and boost we needed to launch this Creative Writers Academy...
Our aim is to inspire children everywhere to express themselves creatively through writing. When they can find the right words to explain what is in their hearts, it can create a powerful impact and influence the world around them.
This academy is for writers of all abilities. All we ask is that the child is willing. We promise to nurture the willingness and help your child create writings that can be read and enjoyed by others.
See what other parents said about the Summer camp as this will give you a sneak peek of the amazing journey your child is about to embark on...
I have not seen my son so excited about writing in a long while. I like the emphasis on the use of punctuation. As a teacher, I have seen teachers freak out at teaching creative writing but you made it so easy like a walk in the park. I enjoyed how fun was brought into writing creatively and I have learnt a lot too. Well done Mrs O! You are awesome ...Mrs Evah
It's been an awesome experience all through for my children. I see them approach other aspects of life with great confidence! They are more conscious in using punctuation marks. They have been exposed to writing without stress.I am glad my children participated in the program. God bless Mrs.O for exposing our children to such an inspiring and life-changing Creative Writing Camp. ...Mrs Apere
The camp was very inspiring and fun for her though it has pushed her to come out of her comfort zone but it is really exposed her to more possibilities in writing. Seeing other children's writing has challenged her to put in more effort into her work knowing that being a child doesn't limit what you can achieve and the ideas you can come up with. She has been exposed to different genre and styles of writing and having a good one to model after and success criteria to use as a rubric to evaluate her work helped her to work independently. She has definitely enjoyed Mrs. O's teaching style which is quite different from what she is normally used to. The experience has been well worth the time and effort invested in it. I know it will be even better next time...Mrs Ekarika
Yes, I will love xxx to be part of the academy because xxx is very creative vocally and he is a boy with many words. He just struggles with putting his thoughts down on paper. You have done a wonderful job so far and with more guidance from you, I believe he will improve and eventually become a great writer. You have so many ways of keeping them engaged, bringing out the interest and making it fun. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. You are such an incredible person with a high level of knowledge and skills in teaching. You selflessly gave back to the kids without holding anything back. xxx keeps going on about writing a book like your son, Sean. He was inspired when he found out he is an athlete. Congratulations To all your successes and keep on soaring...Mrs xxx
