Feedback from some of my students and parents
I decided to enrol my son for The Creative Writing Club after a friend recommended it to me. It was during lockdown and my plan was to stop my son when school resumed. However, he is back in school and is always looking forward to the next writing class on Saturdays. It has become one of his favourite routines! He has improved a lot in reading and writing. His teacher said he is always keen to share his ideas in class. I would give credit to Madam Tolu for this. Her classes are very interactive and she is interested in the opinion of every child. I would certainly recommend The Creative Writing Club. – Oghogho Izedonmwen

Our two boys (aged 9yrs and 7yrs), started Tolu’s creative writing class about two months ago and they are really enjoying it. They look forward to joining the class every Monday evening after school. Tolu is very patient and she has really good communication skills. The boys started off not wanting to write much but now they write multiple pages of really interesting stories. Thanks Tolu – Busayo Sonuga

I strongly recommend Tolulope Popoola as a writing coach. She is such a great teacher and is very good with children. I have the opportunity to listen in during some lessons and I hear how she asks the children the right questions that make them think and participate. She has a way of engaging them and making them feel confident in their own ideas. She challenges them to write short stories in different genres and listens patiently to each person during the lessons. My daughter enjoys the lessons and actually went on to publish her first book at 12 years. She still loves writing. Thank you Tolulope Popoola for your dedication and professionalism. – Njideka Chika Anikpo

Creative Writing Club has helped me eminently. Throughout my lessons I have been writing mini stories and exploring characters personalities in many different ways. Creative Writing has taught me that your story doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect but you can have fun and express yourself by showing your thoughts and feelings. It has also helped me to discover different ways to use my mind’s eye to make my stories come to life. I have used a variety of films and other books to create my own stories with a unique story line. I have been taught so much and am looking forward to getting my story published by the help of my amazing teacher Tolulope and my team mates. Writing has helped me broaden my voice. – Nicole, 10 years old.
