About Lara
I’m a Cambridge University Creative Writing postgraduate and NYU-trained filmmaker with a passion for emotionally rich, visually grounded storytelling. I run my own production company, through which I’ve directed and produced award-winning independent films and worked on major Sky TV and Amazon Prime sets.
I love collaborating, mentoring, and sharing what I’ve learned from both sides of the camera — the creative and the logistical. I’ve volunteered as a tutor for children, coached young filmmakers, and believe in making the creative process feel empowering rather than intimidating. My personality is equal parts calm and curious — I take my work seriously, but I always bring humour, empathy, and encouragement to every session.

I teach storytelling from both the creative and technical sides. I run my own production company and have worked on Sky TV and Amazon Prime projects, alongside directing award-winning independent films — so my lessons are grounded in real industry experience.
Each session is designed to be hands-on and inspiring: we’ll develop your ideas from concept to camera, exploring screenwriting, directing, tone, visual style, and the emotional truth of a scene. I adapt to each student — whether you’re a beginner learning how to structure a short film, or an emerging director wanting feedback on your latest script or edit.
My approach is open, warm, and collaborative. Filmmaking is storytelling in motion — and my goal is to help you build the skills and confidence to bring your stories to life, from script to screen.

Lara is an amazing teacher, exceptionally talented, intelligent, and professional. She helped me enormously with my dissertation and writing skills, offering insightful feedback and guidance that truly elevated my work. Her ability to explain complex ideas clearly and encourage creative thinking makes her an outstanding tutor. Lara is reliable, patient, and genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Lara completely changed my relationship to creative writing.
She was both inspiring yet supportive and I always finished the session with a big smile on my face!
Above all, she fostered a space where I could believe in myself.I worked with Lara while developing my poetry collection, and she was such a huge help — honestly, she’s amazing haha. From the very first session, she created such a relaxed, open space that made me feel completely comfortable sharing my roughest drafts and wildest ideas.
Lara’s teaching style is creative and flexible — she never forces a single “right way” to write, but instead helps you discover what makes your voice unique. She somehow manages to balance thoughtful feedback with genuine encouragement, so you leave every session feeling both inspired and confident.
What really stood out to me is how deeply she understands storytelling across forms — whether it’s poetry, film, or prose, she helps you connect emotion with craft. She’s not the type to give stuffy lectures; instead, her lessons feel like collaborative conversations where ideas flow naturally (and usually with a lot of laughter).
I’d highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a tutor who’s talented, kind, and genuinely passionate about helping people tell stories that feel like them.Lara is an amazing tutor, she is genuinely supportive, and creative. She made me feel inspired and tailored her lessons to me, blending practical knowledge with spontaneity. Her background in filmmaking and writing gave me confidence to get an accurate review on my script. She has a real talent for finding those small things that really make a script work. Her motivation fueled me to create the best version of my project.
Lara has a truly special gift for connecting with young people and seeing their unique potential. She approaches every student with warmth, patience, and genuine care, creating an environment where they feel safe to explore who they are and what they love. Her mentoring goes far beyond academics, it’s about helping her students build confidence, resilience, and self-understanding. Lara’s calm energy and thoughtful guidance have a lasting impact; she doesn’t just teach, she empowers. Anyone who has the chance to work with her is very lucky.
