Joseph Bernard Laffan

My lessons are calm, structured and tailored to each student’s needs. I start by understanding your goals — whether that’s improving grades, developing a portfolio, or building confidence in art and design. Sessions typically combine practical drawing or making, discussion of ideas, and clear guidance on coursework or projects.

As a qualified teacher and practising artist, I help students develop technical skills, creative thinking and visual research. I adapt my approach for neurodivergent learners and those with learning differences, breaking tasks into manageable steps and working at a comfortable pace. My aim is to make learning enjoyable, supportive and confidence-building.
