I hold two types of lesson - coursework tutorials, and lessons specific for exams.

Coursework sessions are informal, and extremely specific to a project. They begin with the student giving an update on progress made and outline anything that creates concern, similar to a presentation, but very informal. We spend the remainder of the session discussing their position and avenues of work they can take their project down. When discussing this aspect, we will refer to the necessary project outcomes, as well as the students own ambitions for the project. By the end of the session, students will have a clear understanding of which direction they will take their work, and the tasks they need to perform to achieve this step.

Exam lessons are more structured and follow a more linear process. Prior to a series of lessons, a strategy will be set up that reflects the students approach to work and revision - this is important because everybody works differently, and to get the most out of a lesson, a student has to feel comfortable and feel engaged with fully. Whether it is just a couple of sessions on a specific area, or a series of lessons on an entire syllabus, the order and content of these lessons is pre decided, so the student knows what to expect and understands how to prepare, if necessary.

To deliver these sessions, I call on a number of years of experience within the Product and Industrial Design industry on the international stage, as well as an strong understanding involvement in academia, starting with my degree in MA Industrial Design from Central Saint Martins.
