Learn fluent English for kids in a fun and educational way

17 £ /h

I can teach English to kids using a fun and educational way. I will make sure to keep their attention focused and teach all speaking, reading, and writing. It will be one-on-one, so I will focus directly on them and ensure they understand everything I explain to them fully. I will use the direct method, where I will only speak in English and not their native language so they will get used to the listening aspect.

Hello! I propose you drawing lessons or painting fun, because I am convinced that one learns better while having fun. I design courses upstream, depending on the personality and level of each. The two main axes are the technique and the development of the imaginary, the putting into practice of an idea. I can move if you have space for creativity and concentration.
Holder of a degree in Fine Arts, but also an animator, I like to share my passion, and has for it a pedagogical know-how. See you soon!

I have up to 3 years experience as a graphic designer and illustrator within a Book Publishing House. By being part of the bookmaking process from the very beginning, I shared my ideas in brainstorming meetings along with the account managers, the editorial team and the art director on the projects. I was able to grow my organizational and planning skills by creating designs for covers and interior layouts, by illustrating book covers and short stories, and by delivering print ready files for many projects at the same time. Besides licensed publishing and in-house projects, I am also involved in producing advertising materials for our projects, such as flyers, posters and banners for online and offline marketing and attention to details is my little name.
In my class you will learn to be creative and the means to express your creativity.

I am a very passionate person when it comes to making fun with colors, drawing, crafts, and calligraphy.
Teaching these subjects brings me immense delight and satisfaction. Moreover, I hold a strong belief in the beauty of elegant handwriting. My instructional approach is centered on guiding learners from basics and foundational concepts to an advanced level of mastery.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Drawing is the basis of any form of plastic art, ranging from sketching, to painting, but also to photography.

In addition to drawing lessons, I can give lessons in comics, but also in digital painting and software use.

You will, among other things, learn the rules of compositions, perspective, colors, storyboard etc.

The course will adapt to what the student would like to achieve as well as to his level.

I will teach online drawing courses for begginers. Also I will teach art history and introduction for artists alongside. It is about how to draw properly and having an individual and personal vision through artistic way. I will teach everything about colors, compositions and still life as well :)

There's a big wild world out there, just waiting for you!
In this course you will learn how to create your unique nature journal, with your own drawings of animals, plants and natural landscapes in and around Brussels.
We will start with the basics of drawing and watercolour sketching in my studio or at your place, and then quickly move on to sketching from life outside. As you develop your nature journal, you will learn about, appreciate, and love the wildlife all around you, and create a lasting collection of memories in the pages of your journal.

Unlike my other more structured classes, this one is aimed at people who simply wish to have a space in which to engage in visual art in a very free way. My knowledge, experience, and critiques are of course available, but the point of the course is to experiment with techniques and create without judgement, restriction, or direction.

Have you ever wanted to get better photos of your dog (or cat), this class will provide some tips and ideas for better pet photography.

We will look at how to select good backgrounds and locations to get great photos as well as how to capture your pup at play in motion.

You can bring your own pet or practice with my two doggos. Classes are in person either in your home, my studio, or on location in the Brussels area such as Tervuren Park.

Specializing in colored pencil, pastel, graphite pencil and watercolor techniques, I have been teaching drawing for several years to a varied audience, from beginners to advanced artists.
A graduate of La Cambre (2017) and an associate professor of the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts (2021), I support each person according to their objectives: technical learning, personal project development, portfolio preparation or tailor-made coaching.
I work on a variety of themes: portrait, realism, illustration, animal, plant, and more depending on your desires.
I adapt to all levels in a caring and secure environment, conducive to exploration and progression.
