Teaching

Tamar has been teaching poetry and prose writing since 1997. In that time, she has tutored both beginning and established poets (particularly poets and fiction writers working on first books). She has taught for academic institutions, such as Birkbeck and Middlesex University, and for adult educational organisations such at Spread the Word, Morley College and the Poetry School. She has run residential courses in Spain and Crete, and has led a number of site-specific writing workshops in historical buildings and locations in London, including Sir John Soane's Museum, Brompton Cemetery, the Old Operating Theatre, the Geffrye Museum and the Foundling Museum. She has also offered workshops investigating the link between poetry and visual art in venues such as Kettle's Yard and the Fitzwilliam Museum (both in Cambridge) and Tate St Ives.

She is also available to give bespoke workshops tailored to the level and need of participants, and private tuition. To contact her, please email: info@tamaryoseloff.com.

What mattered was matter, the precise
