Tuition

Please send me a message to reserve your space.
Individuals and Small groups

I offer individual tuition on a weekly, fortnightly or a whenever-you-need-it basis! Not everyone needs a lesson every week as it gives time for experimentation and individual practice. 

Regular sessions tailored to your requirements. Small groups of up to 5 for a sociable friendly atmosphere whilst learning. 

Who do I teach?

  • Beginners – if you have never had a go and are a little nervous, I will gently and patiently introduce you to any of the techniques of your choice.
  • Improvers – more advanced tuition in specific areas where needed.
  • GCSE and A level students – if you are getting ready for exams, or need help with your portfolio.
  • Primary and Secondary School children who are passionate about art and want to learn and improve.

What do I teach and what will you learn?

  • Drawing Skills – Tone, Colour, Form, Perspective, Composition….. all of the formal elements of drawing.
  • Painting –  Learn to use oils, acrylics and inks. Working through paintings step by step. Composition, colour mixing, light, tone and mark making.
  • Batik – Using wax resist methods with a tjanting tool, on fabrics and paper.
  • Oil Pastels, Aquarelles and other mediums – getting the most out of these lovely materials, either on their own or with mixed media and collage. 
  • Felting – Needle felting with no stitching involved, an introduction to painting with wool, taught from an artists perspective. 

Teaching is my passion…

My teaching experience goes back many years! After gaining a first in Illustration at Coventry University I then completed a teacher training course in secondary education.

I have taught in many secondary, primary and sen schools in Warwickshire as an Art Teacher, Head of Art and Subject Leader as well as leading weekly after school clubs and workshops.

Before relocating to Devon, I began tutoring students from home, I taught regular workshops in needle-felting and painting and also began home visits, teaching students who were less mobile.
