From 26.8 £ /h

I am a creative art educator and artist who has a strong passion for introducing individuals to contemporary art.
With a background in art, editing, writing and illustration, my experience allows me to display dedicated knowledge
in research as well as a strong sense of self-motivation, attention to detail, and commitment to long-term goals. I
have a collaborative teaching approach that really empowers the students. My aim is to provide pupils with the
necessary tools to achieve their goals, and foster a process of strong motivation and experimentation. Additionally, my academic training in Fine Art and Education has taught me ways of mediating skills I possess, through the use of effective learning methods.

About Me

Hello, my name is Aimilia. I am a certified art teacher with over six years of experience in education. I have taught art at various schools in both Amsterdam and Athens, and I am currently working as an IB Visual Arts teacher. My aim is to provide pupils with the necessary tools to achieve their goals, and foster a process of strong motivation and experimentation. I have a keen eye for detail and I work towards my goals with discipline, patience, perseverance, and composure.

Education

I have a BA/MA in Fine Arts and Art Education from the Athens School of Fine Arts and
currently I am a second-year graduate student at the Piet Zwart Institute, where I also study Fine Art. During my studies I developed a vast knowledge of a number of art forms including drawing, illustration, painting, printmaking and ceramics.

Experience / Qualifications

After completing my BA, I gained diverse experience in education across Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands. I have worked with a range of institutions, including the Learning and Education Department at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens during Documenta14. My focus has consistently been on the intersection of creative practice and special education, supporting students in developing their artistic voice through inclusive and meaningful learning experiences.

As an experienced IB Visual Arts teacher with over six years in international education, I specialize in guiding students through the rigorous demands of the IB curriculum. I place strong emphasis on concept-driven instruction paired with solid technical foundations—particularly in drawing, which remains both a core strength and personal passion. My approach is centered on nurturing creativity while ensuring students are well-prepared to build competitive portfolios for admission into top art and design schools worldwide.

The practical insight has been developed throughout enduring studies from 2 different institutional perspectives inspired the urge to convey this to the art enthusiasts of all levels and age. Each age is special within the education similarly all targets pointed from the creative spirits creating thus various anticipations. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.

However the one who lasts for foundation and aspires him/her the concept of taking it further to possible academic preparation will grab charcoals, a spoke, the required papers, instal from simple to complex still life compositions and set forth the journey of academic drawing theory. And then, of course, start with colour, of both acrylic and oil medium.

Pre-school children, children and teenagers are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. Needless to say that suchlike classes do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

The aforementioned forms of classes are applicable to all ages.

I can teach observational art, on location where we draw and paint landscapes, developing colour theory and different types of construction, perspective and mark making. I can also offer more abstract exploration, where we may start with a concept or an image as a starting point and create a more imaginative work from it. This process often includes creating a collage from which the student may be inspired to create a more surreal piece through abstraction. Alternatively, the student could suggest an idea they have been interested in, e.g. a story or news piece they read and I can guide them in the ways in which they may use their artistic process to develop this idea into a piece.

I can also offer teaching English through creative play; using imagery as an aid to developing the language.
