Amanda

I am a qualified teacher of Art in primary and secondary education. I taught a variety of mainstram, special educational needs, home schooled up to the end of KS3 and ran a learning centre for home educated children. We focused on hands-on Science, the Arts and personal, creative projects within the structure of Reggio Emilia and the National Curriculum and core subjects.
I have three children, two of whom are at University, a cat and a dog.
In my spare time I draw and paint, meditate, walk on the beach and spend time with my family. I am available for Art tutoring in small groups and 1:1 and am particularly skilled in traditional observational drawing but can offer all the art mediums and contemporary techniques.

Availability: I am available daytime, term-time. I can be available evenings on request, in my own home or locally at your venue or home.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I worked in a Special Needs school and mainstream. and then Home Educated my three children from R to Year 9, alongside running a learning centre for Home Educating families. Educating at home requires a different approach to learning and my children have valued the opportunity to take responsibility for their learning and I have learned how to be a flexible, creative teacher to facilitate stimulating and rewarding activities which encourage creative thinking and individual talents to their fullest.
