Personalised Art Tutoring for kids ages 4-15! (Drawing, Painting, Collage, Poetry)

From 36.62 £ /h

Hi! I'm Julia, a Fine Art student at HKU, and I love helping kids explore their creativity through art. I offer fun, personalised art classes for children aged 4-13, where they can experiment, express themselves, and develop their artistic skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.

I grew up in Asia and the UK, so I'm fluent in both Dutch and English-meaning I can also mix in some language tutoring if that's something you'd like!
I've worked with kids for years including two years as an art teacher at Hampstead School of Art in London and as a painting instructor at Timberlake Summer Camp in the US.
I truly believe that creativity is one of the most valuable things to nurture from a young age. My own love for art started in childhood art classes, and I’d to love to help spark that same excitement!

Lesson format: Let me know what your child is interested in, and we can create a lesson plan that fits them perfectly!

Extra information

I can provide materials such as chalk, water colour paints, acrylic paints, oil pastels, colouring pencils, pens and paper. But if you already have things we can work you are more than welcome to bring them along!

For beginners: if you don't know where to start, you're in a good place :)
I can help you with choosing instrument (first months best choice is to go for rental so you can decide what feels comfortable for you), give you first exercises and help with short and long term direction.

Bring your enthusiasm, goals and love for music and let's get started!

If you have ever wanted to learn how to draw a beautiful art piece, sketch freely, understand how to translate what's in your head to paper, look no further!
I can help you out with guidance, tips, exercises that will help you lose the fear of the pencil and paper and start creating great pieces of artwork yourself!
And if you are already someone that's brave and draws as a hobby but would like to improve on their skills, I offer some extra tips and resources for you to get your skills to the next level!

Interested? Let's make some art!!

Always wanted to draw or paint portrait .....? Or is still life more your thing ...? Individual or in a group ...?

I am a 2nd degree drawing teacher (and art and portrait painter), and I give drawing and painting lessons (workshops). Individual or for a group. There are all kinds of possibilities in terms of material, subject, purpose and level.

For example in a group: Portrait painting in Andy Warhol style in mixed media, portrait in Picasso style, themes or a joint group work.
I really enjoy challenging and taking everyone by the hand to explore boundaries and explore possibilities. Personal approach and coordination.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Art is a great way to express your feelings and is a great life skill. It allows you to see life from a different perspective and it makes you feel alive. Art has always been an important part of human society since the beginning of time. Art has been used as a tool for cultural exchange, education, and expression.
I've finished an art college and it is a big part of my life. I am happy to share my skills and experience with others who have an interest in art. I have an experience in working with children, but I'm also happy to teach adults.

Artistic experimentation is an integral part of exploring oneself and the surrounding environment.
This programme has been carefully curated alongside young artists over the course of six years and integrates different forms of visual expression such as : sculpture, installation, performance, drawing, painting and many more.
We explore unexpected parallels in art history and visual techniques, building up a wide range of artistic references and technical knowledge in a playful environment in order to explore the sensitivity of our own bodies, thoughts and the world around us.
Although the programme is compiled both with genre, technique and art history in mind, there is always space for adaptation according to the preferences and visual tastes of the student.

My background lies in visual arts and media. I have experience working with kids, helping them develop their painting and creative skills. My approach encourages them to see the world differently, engaging playfully with materials and enjoying the creative process, complete with its unique stories.

Many of us love to paint either our emotions or the beauty we find in the nature.

The beloved ones in our life as portraits, the dear items we treasure as still-life, and the peace we find in landscape.

I teach painting techniques, that I develop from traditional painting, oil to water based mediums- acrylic and oil paint, tempera and mix media, depends on your interest I can guild you with developing your skills and finding your expression.

Art is our gift to understand ourselves and create a space for our mind to explore what is meaningful for us.

I am grateful to have you in my artistic career to share my knowledge and the light in our artwork.
