Hannah Absalom

I am a friendly, patient and positive teacher. I have several years of experience in teaching English as a foreign language, from children aged 3 to adults. I also have experience as an in-person art tutor and University curator. I prefer for a students own curiosity and intuition to drive a lesson, making learning fun and exploratory.

Everyone learns at their own pace, and different learning structures are needed for the different learning requirements of each individual.

I have advanced experience in drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture as well as academic essay writing. I have an array of art materials with me so I am able to demonstrate skills and techniques live to my students.

I will begin where your interest lies, exploring the skills you already have and understanding the goals you have for yourself - technical refinement? Exploring new medias? As your confidence grows I will gently push you beyond your comfort zone, I will introduce you to new artists who I think may talk to your interest and I will encourage you to create a style which is your hand, expand your creative outlook or achieve higher grades within academia, whichever is your end goal.

If you are preparing portfolios for University of Art School, I have several years of experience in assisting with this, as well as having been accepted into the top art schools in the UK based off of my portfolios and interviews. I know how to show a full range of experimentation whilst retaining creative identity within portfolios.

I am also available for assistance in art essay writing, I write alongside my artistic practice and have always achieved distinctions in my academic writing. I have experience in various standards of referencing and would be qualified to assist in GCSE, A-Level and BA level art writing.

My lessons are £30 an hour, but I fully appreciate the importance of accessibility within the arts, so would like to offer concession prices of £17 an hour to those facing financial difficulties. If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
