Artist and Art tutor offering creative mentorship and support with GCSE, A-level, and university applications

I’m an artist, First Class UAL graduate and GCSE and A Level Art tutor with 5+ years of experience helping students develop their artistic skills, improve their grades and gain confidence in their creative work.

I offer highly personalised mentoring for a limited number of GCSE and A Level students each academic year. My approach is tailored to each student, whether they are aiming to move from a B or C towards an A or A*, looking to strengthen their coursework and sketchbooks, or preparing for their final exams.

I have helped students achieve A* grades across Art & Design, Fine Art and Photography, working with both AQA and Edexcel exam boards, as well as supporting students studying internationally, including IB Visual Arts.

Alongside school and exam support, I help students prepare competitive portfolios and applications for leading art and creative universities. I have supported students who went on to study Fine Art, Illustration and Architecture at universities including UAL, Southampton, Manchester and Plymouth. I can also help with personal statements, portfolio development, project ideas and preparing for interviews.

I also work with younger students in Years 7, 8 and 9, helping them build strong foundations in drawing, painting and creative thinking, as well as preparing for secondary school art scholarships and eventually their GCSEs.

My teaching is not about giving every student the same formula. I want to understand how each student thinks and works as an artist, then help them develop their own strengths while meeting the requirements of their course or application.

I teach painting, drawing, acrylics, oil painting and mixed media, and I also work with students who are completely new to art or returning to it after a break.

I am currently creating my timetable for the upcoming academic year and accepting enquiries. I only take on a limited number of GCSE and A Level students each year so that I can give each student the level of individual attention and mentoring they need. If you are interested in working together this academic year, I recommend getting in touch early to discuss availability and your goals.
