Lizzie Ridout

I see tutoring and mentoring as a collaborative process, designed to empower you to think creatively and confidently. My role isn’t just to provide answers, but to guide you in developing the tools and mindset to solve problems and push ideas further.

After a free first 1 hour to game plan together, the future lessons flow as follows:

Techniques & Teaching Methodology
• I tailor each session to your individual goals and needs.
• I use real-world examples and practical exercises to make concepts tangible.
• I encourage discussion and reflection, so you’re not just learning “how” but also “why.”
• For design and branding in particular, I focus on both strategic thinking and hands-on creative development.

Lesson Structure & Length
• Typical sessions last 60 minutes.
• Each lesson usually combines a mix of theory, practical exercises, and feedback.
• I also provide resources or “homework” to help you keep progressing between sessions.

Qualifications & Experience
• I’m a Creative Brand Strategist with over 10 years of experience in branding, design, and strategy.
• I’ve worked with clients across industries (retail, hospitality, consultancy, events) to build impactful identities.
• My strengths are big-picture thinking, simplifying complexity, and turning ideas into clear, effective visuals and strategies.

Who My Lessons Are For
• Beginners to intermediate learners in branding, design, or strategy.
• Business owners and entrepreneurs who want to better understand branding and design.
• Students or early-career designers looking for guidance on process, presentation, and client collaboration.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide a supportive and inspiring space where you can build skills, confidence, and clarity.
