I am a practicing creative artist specialising in Fine Art Painting, Portraits and Life drawing. I have taught Art, Craft and Design in and around London professionally for over 11 years. I have worked in over 30 schools in the London area teaching KS3/4 for over 10 years. Taught with the wider community and people of all ages and abilities. I feel my skills are unique in that I have an ability to enable and facilitate learners in such a way to unblock maximum creative potential.
For the past 13 years I have taught as a short course tutor at Central Saint Martins college of Art and Design. It has been a wonderful period of growth as I believe teaching is a two way passage where both tutor and learner engage on a journey of enlightenment. The feedback I have attained through teaching at CSM is phenomenal. People come on my courses saying ‘I can’t ‘ and leave saying ‘I can!’ I am able to achieve an amazing turn around in a relatively short space of time. Why?? Because I love with a capital L what I do with a passion, Creativity is what defines me.
Whilst I am tutoring no matter what capacity age or ability, uppermost in my mind is that you will get it and that you are challenged creatively to achieve, there is no room for anything less. I engage with my students in such a way as to create a learning environment where everyone makes progress and succeeds in their goals. Fully in tune with all your creative needs, I get a real buzz from seeing results.
Look forward to hearing from you.
