Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your design skills, this class will help you build confidence and create professional-quality designs. You'll learn the principles of graphic design, branding, typography, colour theory, layout, and visual communication while gaining practical experience using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

The lessons are hands-on and tailored to your goals. You'll work on real-world projects such as logos, flyers, social media graphics, posters, business cards, and complete brand identities. I'll also share industry tips, creative workflows, and best practices that I've developed through years of working with businesses, organisations, and personal brands.

By the end of the course, you'll have practical skills, a stronger design portfolio, and the confidence to take on freelance projects, build your own brand, or pursue a career in graphic design.

I am Sergio, an Agricultural Engineering student at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, currently on academic exchange at the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

During my training I have worked with AutoCAD, irrigation system design, drafting plans, topographic surveys and agricultural installations.

I offer online AutoCAD 2D classes aimed primarily at engineering students and other technical students who need to learn how to use the program or reinforce their knowledge to develop their own projects.

The classes are practical and personalized. We can start from the fundamentals of the program or work with the knowledge you already have, using exercises related to your studies.
