About:

Hello, thank you for visiting my website. I am a highly qualified Art tutor/lecturer (MA Royal College of Art -Fine Art) I teach art and design to all ages and abilities, beginners to advanced etc.. from 5 years to 75+. I can teach you in your own home or in my small studio in Surbiton or at your tutorial centre/college or gallery/museum (for workshops etc)

I teach painting (watercolour, acrylic, oil etc), drawing (all mediums), printmaking, sculpture, collage, digital art, craft, illustration (fashion and general) and I also specialise in portfolio building for further and higher education college courses (eg BTEC, Foundation, BA Hons degree etc) I can also tutor for GCSE and A'level, academic courses or just for fun.

I have lots of experience teaching International students and I am happy to help these students to explain their artwork and talk confidently about it in good simple concise English using the correct art terminology for interviews and assessments.

All lessons are tailored individually around the students interests, ability, personal goals and passions. All materials are supplied when I teach in my studio, and some when travelling about, depending on the job. I have a full DBS certificate to work with children and vulnerable adults. I also have experience of teaching students with special educational needs, mental health issues and learning difficulties. Lessons can have an Art therapy focus if required.

Please give me a call to discuss your requirements or any further details required. You can book individual lessons and pay as you go or there are some reductions for block bookings or special circumstances.

I look forward to working with you on inspiring art lessons.
