Qualified ex Head of Art and practicing artist: Do you need an Art or English Tutor to get you through the summer exams? Or are you a beginner who wants to learn to draw and paint? Do you need someone to help boost your confidence, or to show you how to refine your skills?

I am a former Head of Art with over ten years teaching experience in a large comprehensive school. I also have a first class degreee in English and I taught this as my second subject in schools. I can offer:

Private tuition to help you improve your GCSE and A Level coursework, and raise your grade.
Help developing a portfolio for Art college and university applications and interviews.
Support at primary, KS3 and GCSE level in English or Art.

Fun, stimulating Art Classes after school or at weekends in your home for individuals or groups of children or adults, for enjoyment as well as for personal and creative development.

I can teach printmaking, painting and drawing, mixed media work, batik and textiles, craft and 3D design, graphics, clay and more.

About me: I have just completed an MA in "Authorial Illustration" (with Distinction) at the University of Falmouth. I worked as Head of Art at Didcot Girls School in Oxfordshire for 9 years before moving South- West three years ago to work as an artist, garden-manager and part time teacher. I have an up to date criminal record check and I am currently working as a GCSE and A Level Art exam moderator, Art and English tutor and writer/illustrator. I have a First Class degree in English and Fine Art from Exeter University.

I look forward to working with you and can be flexible about how, when and where we work together, according to your needs. I do have a car and can travel to you, or you can come to me.

Good luck with your search,

Testimonials:

Emma has been my art tutor for the past year. During this time she has nurtured my fragile confidence and enabled it to evolve into my own artistic voice, allowing me to find my full expression whilst also helping me to stay grounded in basic technique and method. Throughout this time she has been patient, kind and encouraging. She has overseen my transition from drawing to working with colour/paints and clearly has a great depth of experience and knowledge in the use of both. Emma has challenged me where I`ve needed it but has always remained supportive when I found myself frustrated with my own abilities. She has been very helpful in developing my sense of experimentation whilst at the same time continually suggesting other artists that I might learn from. Emma has always been happy to answer my constant questions and we have had many inspiring discussions about art, artists and the artistic process. At the end of the year i felt i had enough confidence to apply for a BA in Art, much of this attributable to Emma`s support. I would therefore highly recommend her as a private tutor.

Mr. Andrew, Falmouth (adult learner)


I really enjoyed learning from Emma. She is gentle and patient in her teaching approach and very encouraging. She taught me important foundation principles and techniques which helped me develop my skills and enabled me to better address some of the technical elements of painting and drawing. She has a wonderful way of working and relating to colour which I found really inspiring. She has also helped me feel more confident in my own work and creativity. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

Charlotte, Totnes (adult learner)

Emma has been tutoring my 11 year old daughter for a little while now. She has a lovely gentle manner and is clearly a very talented artist herself. My daughter regularly asks me when she will have another lesson with Emma, which can only be testament to what a great teacher she is!
