Here is a review of one of my retreats published in Lapidus magazine
Here’s what my most recent writing groups have said about my teaching (courses run in Trieste from November – March 2010):
“generous, protective, supportive, great teacher!” Gabriella
“You are a great teacher, Tonya:) Very inspiring:)) Showing, not telling, is (at least in part) your way of teaching too; and I learned a lot about it. Thank you! Katya
“I think you are a great teacher!! You have the ability to take us to the most interesting places during the writing. You share a lot of yourself, without crossing the limit – hope you understand my point. I enjoyed your teaching a lot – and your humour.” Christina
“Thank you for your classes. I love the free-writing and all the exercises that we did. You opened up a whole new door for me in terms of “creative” writing. Thank you.” Mong
“The linguistic/ stylistic help was always very supportive and professional.” Maite
“A terrific teacher, fun and I loved her writing – a future best-seller is about to leap out! And I’ll be able to say “Oh yes, I took her class…” Alex
“Great teacher and mentor – a lot of fun!” Zeynep
“Tonya gave us great exercises to do and I thought really brought out the writer and creator in all of us. Thanks Tonya! You’re wonderful!” Jessica
“I couldn’t have asked for a better creative writing teacher!” Tasia
