Almost everyone has admired the masterpieces of Raphael or Michelangelo—but what makes their art truly remarkable? In my classes, I’ll guide you step by step in academic drawing and painting, starting with pencil and watercolor, and exploring other techniques if you wish.

From the fundamentals to portraits, landscapes, and beyond, each lesson is tailored to your interests and goals. I’ll help you develop your technical skills while nurturing your own artistic voice.

With a background in architecture and training at a professional school of fine art drawing, I combine structured guidance with creative freedom.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class will help you learn, create, and bring your artistic visions to life.

I used to know English well on paper, but speaking felt stressful and unnatural. I knew the words, the grammar, and the rules—but confidence wasn’t there, and every conversation felt like a challenge.

I overcame this barrier by actively practising English in real-life situations. I joined conversation clubs, spoke regularly with native speakers, and later enrolled in a university programme taught entirely in English. Through these experiences, I discovered that fluency and confidence come not just from studying rules, but from using the language consistently, making mistakes, and learning from them.

In my classes, I focus on real English speaking that matters to you. We work on building fluency, expressing your thoughts clearly, and feeling at ease in conversations you actually encounter—whether at work, while studying, travelling, or in everyday life. I adapt exercises to your level and interests, helping you overcome hesitation, expand vocabulary naturally, and speak with confidence.

My goal is for every student to leave class feeling that speaking English isn’t just possible—it’s enjoyable, empowering, and a tool to connect with the world.

I am a teaching professional with a Doctorate in Physics and Materials Engineering. My passion for science education was ignited during my high school years when I participated in chemistry Olympiads, which inspired me to pursue a degree in materials science, seamlessly blending my interests in both chemistry and physics.

Throughout my academic journey, I have remained committed to both science and teaching. I actively engaged in various teaching assistant roles at the university level and have been teaching school students since my undergraduate years. Now, as a PhD graduate, I am eager to share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of learners.

In addition to my role as a science teacher, I also teach painting to children and teenagers, specializing in oil painting and pastel pencil techniques. I believe in employing effective and engaging teaching methods to foster creativity and a love for learning in my students.
