Even ChatGPT does not write as well, or as uniquely, as a well-trained human. And if you are a journalist or a novelist, the use of AI tools is also not allowed. In this class, you can learn the art of truly great writing from someone who has been a professional content creator for thirty years. You will learn about how to structure the perfect piece of writing, from a news story or feature (print or broadcasting scripts), any form of marketing material and even a 100,000 novel. I can also unlock your hidden talent, as not everything can be taught—instead, it needs nurturing. Using techniques I have been given and those I have developed myself, you too can be the writer you always thought you could.

I am a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where I attained two Masters degrees (MMus and MPerf) with distinction.

Although I now work primarily as a jazz/commercial trumpet player, I have a strong foundation in classical music. For students wishing to attain musical grades, I have experience with the ABRSM syllabus. Look forward to meeting 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.

Lessons are usually 3/4hr or one hour. Please see my profile for more information on my approach. I have very limited availability at the moment but if it's online lessons I have more than the calendar shows. The class is tailored to the individual but in general technique and musicality go hand in hand. I am strong on the reading of music as this gives the student all the necessary tools to read so many different genres of music... and to then be free of music if that is the goal.

As a Gap Year Student, I offer a tutoring experience that provides a refreshingly different perspective to that provided by a teacher in the classroom. As the eldest sibling of five, I am confident in my ability to connect with a child. I fundamentally believe that academic achievement is not only represented by top marks but also by a true, deep understanding that allows items of knowledge to become skills, methods and patterns of thought that can be taken further and will benefit a student all of their life. This academic achievement is driven and fundamentally obtained through a passion for and enjoyment of learning. This is what I aim to inspire, represent and deliver in my sessions.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Oxford, attaining a 2:1 in Ancient and Modern History. I can teach History up to an A Level standard, as well as English and Drama up to a GCSE standard. I can also offer advice in all facets of the Oxbridge admissions process, from personal statements to interview technique. I take a co-operative approach to tutoring, believing it beneficial to undertake in an active dialogue between myself and the pupil. Humanities are, after all, subjective, and the key technique is to learn to properly substantiate your argument, rather than simply regurgitate an argument that has been fed directly to you.

A-Level and GCSE Mathematics can often be rather challenging. There are several complex topics which are often not taught to high standards within a typical school setting, and this can lead to marks lost which may make or break the chance of achieving the top grades. I ensure to teach these sophisticated topics through many different approaches so that the student is well-equipped to tackle any question which they may face and makes it near impossible to not understand a question. I have experience with tutoring at my school, and I have learned how to communicate with students effectively and patiently. Through my “short-cuts”, students will be able to complete challenging questions in less time with ease- putting them at an advantage over their peers.

Composing for opera reaches far beyond music composition and when it's done well it is part of an expansive and complex matrix of disciplines, practices, and approaches. In this class we will consider dramaturgy, structure, multimedia collaborative process, composing for voice (from bel canto to neutral conversation), consider dramatic practices, opera specific methodologies and theatre practice. Whatever your style the principles, analysis, advice and guidance I can offer will take your opera to the next level.

I have spent the my last 4 years at the Royal Academy of Music, studying Jazz Guitar and Composition with some of the best teachers in the world and I am now keen to share this knowledge and get more people inspired and involved in the world of music.

I like to tailor the lessons to my student's individual tastes and needs so that they can benefit the most from it and also get the most inspiration. I have taught private lessons for 6 years and have had great feedback from students and have seen students improve rapidly in just a few lessons.
