Hello,

I`ve been teaching students of all ages and abilities for over 5 years. I have experience teaching painting and drawing to both children and adults, on a one-to-one basis and to groups. I teach with energy and enthusiasm and find teaching very inspiring myself. I have a great art historical/theoretical knowledge, and engage very much with contemporary practice. I am very conscious of the level of the pupil and therefore adapt my teaching approach to each individual student respectively. I teach to help individuals with their GCSE/A level coursework I also help students prepare portfolios for art scholarships, entrance exams and for higher education. I also have experience homeschooling students.

I received a 1st Class (hons) degree in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins School of Art, UAL. I have a continued history of exhibition/prize/scholarships. My area of expertise is drawing and painting from observation and Screen printing. I can offer my technical expertise in: perspectival drawing, anatomy, oil painting and colour mixing. I encourage my students to visit and draw outdoors and from and Gallery collections.

For the last 13 years I have worked as an artist, making paintings, drawings, and installations, and I have exhibited in galleries across Britain and Worldwide. I also enjoy and taking workshops and drawing classes, which I see as an important part of my work as an artist and tutor. I also achieved 100% in both my Fine Art A Level and my Fine Art GCSE.

I hold a DBS enhanced clearance.

In my spare time, I enjoy mountaineering, running, skateboarding, snowbaording, skiing, reading, walking, organising and participating in adventure sports expeditions to some of the worlds highest mountains.
