I believe in the Creative Visual Arts as being an essential part of society and vital to the world that we live in.
Classroom experience over 20 years, the last 10 in middle management of a highly successful Art Department in an HMC school.
I can offer teaching at all levels.
I am a GCSE Moderator with over 15 years experience.
I am highly competent at teaching KS3, GCSE, A Level and Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma.
I can provide portfolio guidance for University and help with UCAS.
I can provide portfolio guidance for Art Scholarships at any level.
Hundreds of pupils I have taught have gone onto Degree level and successful careers; they stay in touch.
I worked in industry, for 10 years, before retraining for teaching. I bring this industry experience to my teaching so that pupils are prepared for the commercial world.
I am an artist and I share my creative enthusiasm with my pupils, as well as techniques and a sense of presentation.
I believe that all forms of Art are Art; there are no restrictions on media type. I am, therefore, open to all new technologies as well as traditional media.
I am highly skilled in photography, Adobe Photoshop, film editing, lighting, digital presentations, Fine Art painting, drawing and printmaking.
I am happy to teach in person or online, at my home, in a location that is mutually convenient, at the student's home.
I have excellent local contacts and I am known throughout the region for my years in teaching and my reputation for thinking outside the box.

I feel very lucky to have had Sue to guide me through my Art studies, with having such an inspiration to follow alongside. From the very beginning Sue encouraged me to explore my creativity and work, with opening up new ways of thinking. Sue’s extensive knowledge of technique, skills and concepts helped me to understand and develop my own personal style. The dedication, patience and belief in my potential was hugely appreciated when I was completing my studies. An exceptional teacher who truly made a huge difference to art studies but also my whole education. Thank you so much Sue.

Mrs Tansley has been a huge help with my creative journey. She helped me find my love of photography and gave me lots of inspiration and support during my exams. She never stops a pupil who wants to express themselves and pushes them to go out of their comfort zone to find something else that they may enjoy. She supports students so much and shows that she cares about them and their goals. Her enthusiasm towards her subject allows the students to feel optimistic and excited towards the subject as well. She can be critical in her feedback but it allows the students to push themselves to do their very best and to constantly improve and work harder. I was very appreciative of her efforts when teaching me and I never felt I couldn’t come to her with any problems. She made her class feel safe and fun and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
