About your teacher

My name is Gina Louise Smart, and I’m a bilingual teacher, poet, and creative writing mentor living in Sweden. I have an education in English Linguistics and Psychology and a Postgraduate in English Teaching from Newcastle University, in the United Kingdom. I have also attended courses in Bilingualism at Stockholm University, in Sweden.

For more than six years, I’ve had the joy of teaching children from many different backgrounds, helping them grow in confidence, creativity, and self-expression. As the author of a short poetry book An Orchid’s Truth, I’ve experienced firsthand how powerful words can be, and I love sharing that magic with young writers.

Creative writing has always been my passion, and I truly believe it gives children lifelong skills - from communication and imagination to problem-solving and confidence. With the advancement of AI, children are relying on this system and forgetting their creative skills. Through my lessons, I aim to create a space where children feel free to explore their ideas, discover their unique voice, and feel genuinely proud of the work they produce.

My hope is that every child who joins my course not only learns how to write creatively but also discovers the joy and excitement that comes from bringing their ideas to life on the page. Increasing both their confidence and also their productivity in creative expression!
