Common Room is an online platform that offers fun and engaging creative writing courses and resources for children of ages 7 to 15.

Traditionally, a common room is a shared lounge, often attached to dorm rooms in boarding schools, where students socialise, have late night study sessions, host house parties and engage in other after school activities. Drawing inspiration from this much loved space, Common Room is an initiative to create a shared virtual learning space for young learners, to engage in magical learning experiences.

The Young Writers course is delivered by Miss Shikha.

Shikha is a Cambridge certified Teacher of English, with over 7 years of experience teaching students in India and Japan.

She is passionate about children’s literature and sharing the joy that reading can bring. One of her areas of expertise is creative writing, which she believes encourages children to give flight to their imagination.

She is therefore thrilled to be able to teach courses that combine her two passions - books and writing.
