Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

This combination of art and English class will help children explore their creative ability and, at the same time, gain new language skills.

We can discuss any medium you want your child to explore and I will create a suitable lesson for each class. Tailored classes with interesting artistic topics will provide extra motivation for students and encourage them to remember various information from the class.

Join me and get creative using different art techniques while you boost the English language!

*** I will provide materials for this class, but if you have a specific request that requires special equipment/materials please be ready to prepare/bring them to the class!

If you’ve ever searched for this class and even looked at the description of this lesson, then you’ve probably come across a crochet pattern filled with many symbols that seem complicated, yet they produce an absolutely stunning piece. And maybe you’ve thought that these patterns are only used by professionals who have spent years mastering this craft...

But what if I told you a secret? 👀
You don’t need to be a crochet expert to learn how to read a pattern, it’s quite the opposite! Once you learn to read a pattern, it actually opens the door for you to become more professional and develop your skills!

In fact, if you already know the basic stitches, you’re fully ready to start this lesson.
(And if you don’t yet know the basic crochet stitches, I recommend looking for my lesson titled “Learn Crochet from Scratch!”)

By the end of this lesson, you will:
✅ Learn the basic symbols for each stitch.
✅ Learn how to read a pattern row by row.
✅ Master how to follow the reading direction correctly.
✅ Understand the difference between a written and a charted pattern.
✅ Create a beautiful piece yourself using a ready-made pattern!

So, are you ready?

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of screenwriting for film. Through lectures, readings, and writing exercises, students will learn core storytelling concepts including three-act structure, character development, conflict, visual storytelling, and dialogue. Emphasis is placed on crafting short scripts and learning how to communicate ideas cinematically through action and imagery. By the end of the course, students will have completed a polished short screenplay and gained a solid foundation in the creative and structural tools used by screenwriters.

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).
