Art is a form of therapy that can help many people to express themselves and overcome difficulties. As a therapist and an artist myself I can teach techniques and knowledge to sexless and analyse complex features that will help your art better.

I teach anything from history to techniques and styles with different materials, from paper and pencils to canvases and oil paint.

I'm a Fine Art graduate from University of the Arts London (UAL) - I currently specialise in photography and videography. However I have taught a range of different art disciplines from painting, drawing, design, crafts and sculpture. On a regular basis I teach children from ages 4-11 but I have experience teaching teenagers and adults as well.

During lessons we can focus on a particular discipline such as painting or drawing, work on a project that someone has already started in their own time or I can assist with portfolios or sketchbooks for GCSE/AS/A Levels/Foundation/Degree. These classes are for everyone, ranging from fun creative art play for younger years to older years wanting to learn a new skill or develop a hobby.

Having the ability to be creative and explore art is so beneficial for both children and adults and I aim to make my lessons as supportive, fun, engaging and positive as possible.

Develop your Artistic skills and learn how to do realistic Drawings and Sketches using Graphite and Colored pencils. Whether it’s Still life or Portraits you’ll be able to learn How to do the initial Sketch, the Shading and the Coloring of your subject.

I am a fine artist specialising in painting with over ten years experience and training from the prestigious Slade School of art. I can provide expert tutoring in all areas of fine art painting including oil acrylic and watercolours as well as observational and life drawing.

Having studied history and art history at the university of Bristol I am also able to tutor in the wider theory surrounding historical and contemporary painting if needed.

I am able to teach any level from primary through to GCSE's and A-Levels and beyond.

With years of experience as a Teacher facilitating Art to children of all age groups in an inclusive education system in India comes a belief that ‘for creating Art, one has to go beyond the limitations of its technical terms’. Drawing, as a tool, freehand or controlled is the first step in a creative process.

As an art facilitator, one of my greatest strengths is identifying the unique traits and interests of the learner's creative selves. Introducing learners to varying mediums and encouraging them to develop their distinct language in art expression is a way I make the art practice an enriching experience.

Art is a special medium that can be used in many different forms to elicit one's feelings, emotions, and purview of the world around them both its beauty and ugliness.
My class will be a way for students who either have little to no experience or a lot and create work that resonates with them and o just have fun and enjoy the art world without being held behind ''perfection''.
I will cover many facets of art such as painting (acrylic, oils and mainly water colour) as well as sketching and colouring, as well as photography and how we are able to capture an idea in a photograph.

I can offer regular feedback on the development of your artistic practice. I can also provide technical training, my specialty being painting. I will help you find your personal style, giving you the necessary space to achieve it, as it's important that it comes from you.

I will share with you all my knowledge on contemporary art and its norms, whether you wish to work with institutions, sell paintings, or collaborate with other artists.

I am a practicing artist who regularly exhibits around the world. Passionate about teaching, I have been a Fine Arts tutor for over three years at several major London universities (Goldsmiths, Camberwell and Turps).

I also have two years experience teaching arts with teenagers with autism.

In these lessons / course I will introduce you to the basics of traditional clay modelling. Starting from understanding proportions, measuring 3-dimensional objects and building a strong armature using wood and wire to carefully examining and transferring the shapes of the model into your own clay reproduction.

Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin have been studying the sculptures of their predecessors the same way and have been a great influence on my own work, and that is why I want to pass this knowledge on.

In these lessons, you will also acquire some knowledge of the use of power-tools necessary to make the armatures.

I am an RCA MA Painting graduate, and I have a BA(Hons) degree in Fine Art from Westminster University, and a Foundation diploma in Art & Design from the University for the Creative Arts. I am a practicing artist based in London, specializing in painting, and I have been showing my work nationally and internationally. My recent solo show was at Class Reiss London, and I also had a solo presentation at Art Athina. My fascination with tutoring derives from my sensitivity around learning disabilities, something which is a recurring theme in my practice as I grew up as a dyslexic learner, as well as my educational experience of being part of leading academic UK institutions.

Through my work as an art tutor I strive to inspire and support my students, offering insight to my experience as a RCA alumnus and to the professional life of an artist. I teach students of all ages, as I strongly believe that involvement with the arts is always eye opening and revealing, especially when this leads to a career in the arts through higher education.

I can offer art lessons for younger children, involving introduction to creative techniques and idea development, mentoring and support with portfolio preparation to apply for art schools internationally as well as tutoring on contextualizing your work through constructive and generative feedback.

Art tutoring classes for a level and GCSE students. Support with technical guidance from a multidisciplinary arts background (sculpture, ceramics, casting, painting, illustration), concept, research and writing to help achieve your full potential in your assessments. I also offer guidance with creating impactful portfolios for university and art foundation applications. I am happy to work online or in my studio space if you’d prefer in person technical support with techniques.
A bit about me: I have BA in fine art and specialise in sculpture and installation, and have explored and still enjoy many other medium throughout my career. I’m really enthusiastic about sharing creative understanding and supporting developing artists. I also have a wide range of interests and inspirations, so if your looking into a topic, chances are myself or one of the artists I’ve worked with has most likely researched it! .

Hi! I am passionate about teaching and encouraging my students to tap into their own unique potential. I can help provide technical training with painting being my speciality in acrylics, oils, watercolour, gouache and ink.
I believe the most fulfilling experiences with making art comes from an innate place of joy, playfulness and experimenting. I can provide a calm, relaxed and encouraging environment, allowing you to explore and hone in on skills you didn't realise you had or maybe to work on skills you already know you like, but want to get better at.
I am a practicing artist who has exhibited internationally and have worked for artists for over 7 years so I have vast knowledge on contemporary art and the art world. So whether it is institutions you wish to work with, sell work or to just make work, I will be able to share my experiences and insight with you.

Learn rigorous technique first, and THEN break the rules.

As a classically trained artist in drawing and painting, I offer private tutoring that emphasizes mastering the fundamentals to develop accomplished, technically skilled artists who can confidently express their creativity. My approach is structured, rigorous, and designed to push students to achieve their best. While some may find my method strict, I believe in teaching the rules thoroughly so that you can confidently break them later.

What I Offer:
Foundational Skills: Strengthen your abilities in line work, value, proportion, perspective, and texture to build a robust technical base.
Composition & Framing: Understand how to structure engaging artwork through thoughtful layout, balance, and spatial design.
Rigorous Critique: Receive honest, constructive feedback to identify areas for growth and refine your individual hand.
Unique Assignments with Clear Goals: Each project is tailored to address specific skills or concepts: contrast, scale, accuracy, perspective, and still life vs narrative-driven styles are just a few examples.

Diverse Areas of Focus: Explore various disciplines, including:
2D design
Still-life
Architectural drawing
Human anatomy and figure drawing
Portrait drawing
Illustration
Media and Techniques:
I guide students in mastering traditional drawing media, including graphite, charcoal, conte, pen and ink, and technical pens. Additionally, if the student progresses, I will offer opportunities to explore printmaking techniques such as silverpoint, etching, and linocut to expand their artistic repertoire.

My Approach and Expectations:
I teach with the belief that discipline and dedication are essential for artistic growth. My sessions combine hands-on demonstrations, guided practice, and critical discussions to ensure students gain a comprehensive understanding of both technical and conceptual aspects of drawing. While I set high expectations, I also offer the support and tools needed for students to rise to the challenge.
After most sessions, I assign homework to be completed by the next class. I certainly expect my younger students especially to complete these assignments. While my lessons are technical and follow strict parameters, there is plenty of opportunity for students to choose their own subjects and designs.
I also highly recommend my student take excellent notes during my demonstrations and instruction time. I will always share my own notes and sketch journals so the student has a goal in mind. After a section of tuition has been completed (equal to a half term) I examine the notes and give feedback.

Who Can Benefit:
Beginners aiming to establish strong technical foundations
Intermediate students refining their composition and conceptual skills
Advanced artists seeking rigorous critique and structured challenges
Portfolio builders preparing for art schools or professional opportunities
With a focus on both mastery and creativity, I help students develop the skills and confidence to create meaningful, rule-breaking artwork.
