Currently, I am a Ph.D student in creative writing living in Manchester but I am available for Zoom lessons only. I am a published writer/poet and also run a successful small publishing press, focusing on writing in the experimental calibre. My experience tutoring began working with a fifteen year old girl a 4 years ago who was struggling with social anxiety and panic disorder. She was unable to go to school and I stepped in to help her pass her GCSEs. The whole experience shaped how I could help influence the student in an engaging and sensitive way, and inspire them to enjoy developing their knowledge. Also, as an experienced editor, it is in my nature to help the individual try and find their best way to express themselves in both an academic and creatively. I specialise in the following: ENGLISH LITERATURE: - Poetry - Shakespeare - The novel - Fiction and Drama - Literal and inferential comprehension - Critical reading - Evaluation of a writer’s choice of vocabulary, grammatical and structures features. - Comparing and contrasting texts - Revision/exam preparation and coursework/dissertation help ENGLISH LANGUAGE: - Critical reading and comprehension - Summary and synthesis - Evaluation of a writer’s choice of vocabulary, form, grammatical and structural features. - Comparing and Contrasting texts - Producing clear and coherent text - Writing for impact and purpose (selecting, organising and emphasising facts, ideas and key points; citing evidence and quotation effectively and pertinently to support views; creating emotional impact; using language creatively, imaginatively and persuasively, including rhetorical devices. - Creative Writing (in the form of "workshopping" and experimentation fo devices and ideas.) (If necessary, I have the experience to help students who suffer from anxiety disorder and issues surrounding self-confidence. Providing a tutoring experience that is aligned with the students personal needs and motivations) Please feel free to message me if you have any queries.

My aim for every student is to engage, encourage and support. Build confidence, knowledge and know how to achieve the highest grades possible. I held the post of Art and Design Lecturer and Course Tutor at Hackney Community College (now New City College) from May 1997 to Aug 2015. I also taught Textile Design on BTEC Art & Design, Foundation in Art and Design, GCSE and A Level Art and Design and Textiles. My specialism is Textile Design (print and constructed) with knowledge of a variety of print techniques. I also have vast experience in Art and Design applications at A level and GCSE Art, fashion and photography. This includes; Visual Recording in Art and Design, Ideas and Concepts, Visual Communication, Fashion Presentations Techniques, Exploring Textiles and 3D Sculptural textiles. In my teaching practise I introduce and cover all aspects of contextual study, historic and contemporary to inspire the design process along with practical skills to help extend knowledge and develop design awareness from initial recording of research, experimental drawing for art and design and fashion and textiles. This includes experimental drawing and mark making, fabric manipulation, artists research, composition, mood boards, encouraging the use of varying medium to inspire and develop personal style. I encourage students to experiment in their sketchbook to create a narrative that will support final outcomes for assessed work. I have substantial experience of project and curriculum development and delivery in KS4 and 5. I am currently an examiner, moderator and an assignment writer of teacher support packages for a major education qualification institute. In my own practice as a designer I run a small textiles printing business producing designer textiles collections for homeware.

Are you hoping to apply to top UK Art and Design undergraduate courses within the next year? Contact me to get a head start preparing your portfolio, and get motivated by working on a project outside of school. I also offer help with Art and Design study from GCSE level and up, and literacy skills for primary school age children. However big or small your goal, I would love to support you in achieving it. I studied Fine Art to degree level at Central Saint Martins College, and I am currently studying MA Photography at the Royal College of Art. Portfolio preparation for art and design university entrance is my speciality. In the last year my clients have gained places on top art courses at Central Saint Martins, Goldsmiths, Brighton, Nottingham Trent and Kingston. I am committed to education and the arts, and since graduating from the University of the Arts London in 2014 Prior to becoming a tutor I was employed as Archives and Special Collections Assistant at University of the Arts London, supporting teaching, learning and research for students of a wide range of academic abilities and needs. This role included giving workshops to students on a one-to-one basis, and in larger groups. I was also a guest tutor for the MA Culture, Criticism and Curation course at Central Saint Martins. Before my role at the university was made full time I was able to volunteer with the charity Beanstalk as a Reading 321 Helper, supporting three children twice weekly to improve their literacy. These were children in Primary School who had been identified as being behind with their reading skills. I have also been involved with The Girls Network Mentoring Scheme. If your child is struggling with literacy, and needs to find enjoyment in reading, contact me. Coming from a creative, academic background I appreciate that everyone has their own style of learning. I like to engage children with their own creativity in order to assist them with problem solving and finding their unique way to reach their academic goals.

Hi I'm Emily and I've tutored English language and literature for just over 3 years now, as well as Religious Studies and Philosophy. These subjects have always been a passion of mine and I love teaching others, helping them to understand and appreciate different texts, books, and theories. I also help with personal statements and love to help students through the university application process as I know how daunting it can be. Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes to have a look! I gained A levels in English language, Textiles, and Philosophy and Ethics before studying at the University of Leeds and graduated in 2020 with a 2.1 BA and industrial year in fashion design (bit of a change I know!). When the pandemic hit I had to rethink things and found myself wanting to help people instead, which inevitably turned into tutoring, as well as working as a community carer with children and adults with SEN. I am experienced in a range of needs and can accommodate accordingly. Tutoring English, RE and Philosophy for the past 3 years has been a dream come true. I've worked with so many lovely students and really felt like I've changed their outlook on the subjects. I love seeing their confidence soar and their faces light up when something suddenly clicks. I like to keep my lessons fun and engaging and make you feel like this is not just extra work because it can be fun trust me! No matter your struggles, I'd love to see where I can help.

My name is Lauren and I am an Oxford University (BA History) graduate. I am currently studying for my Solicitors Qualifying Exams having attained a Distinction in my MA Law (PGDL + Dissertation) course. I initially attended a non-fee-paying state school in South Wales, where I achieved 11*s at GCSE and 4 A*s at A Level (English Literature, History, Art & Design and Welsh Baccalaureate), plus an A in AS Level Maths. I love teaching, and I am passionate about sharing my experiences and helping others to reach their potential. Since I started online tutoring two years ago, I have helped GCSE students get to grips with exam content, A Level students to master their exam technique, and Degree Level students to structure their dissertations. I have also supported students by building their confidence and teaching them how approach their schoolwork in a more structured and methodical way. I have been given a 5-star review by every student I have ever taught. This is because I believe engagement is key and dedicate time to tailoring every lesson to each student’s specific learning style, requirements, and aspirations. This means my students build on areas of low confidence, reinforce their knowledge with practice, and achieve their goals without being bored. It is fair to say I am not ‘all academia, no personality’. I am a drummer and an artist, and I enjoy running and going to the gym. I am friendly and relatable, and I would love it if you picked me as your tutor!

I am a graduate from Trinity College, Cambridge, having achieved my Bachelors degree in History (2:1). I am currently based in London, undertaking a Master's degree at the Royal College of Art (School of Fine Art and Humanities) I have a wide and varied experience with students of all ages and abilities and have spent time working in both primary and secondary schools. My main aim is always to help students find an interest in their subject, which leads to them translating this interest through their examinations. My specialism lies in Medieval and Early Modern History, however, I am very well equipped to help students with any written work that their course may demand (including GCSE, AS and A2 coursework). I also have experience with certain modern historical periods and have been assisting students with theses periods for some time. I also offer Oxbridge tutoring, help with Personal Statements, UCAS support and exam technique help. Further, I also offer help with Fine Art, a subject I fell in love with at the early age and am currently studying at the Royal College of Art. I completed my Masters degree at the University of the Arts London last year, achieving a Merit. I specialise in Oxbridge interviews and entrance exams, and am well versed with the Cambridge University HAA exam. I believe that my enthusiasm and experience, coupled with my academic ability enables me to be an able tutor.

I am an art historian who loves teaching people of all ages and abilities. I have worked as a researcher and educator in international art galleries in Mayfair and Zurich, and have taught BA students at the University of Zurich. Currently based in London, I am working towards my PhD in History of Art at the University of Zurich and KU Linz, where I have also taught. As well as expertise is in Asian and Western art since 1960, I have a very broad and robust knowledge of all periods of History of Art as taught in the United Kingdom. For A Level students, I am familiar with the AQA syllabus and find it an excellent teaching guide. For university students, I am happy to work with the course outlines and reading lists provided by the individual institution. I am also familiar with Cambridge Pre-U. Before I start teaching, I like to speak with the student and their family to establish the current level, identify any gaps and jointly create the learning objectives, from which I develop a study programme. I am happy to teach a course from beginning to end, or to jump in to cover any gaps or develop greater aptitude in certain areas, as required. In History of Art, I teach A Level, BA and MA students, as well as adults who would like to develop their interest in art. I also guide museum and gallery visits, which I find are an excellent way to facilitate learning. Because my academic work inherently relies on reading and writing, while my research encompasses English Literature, I also teach English Language and Literature up to A Level. I also help younger children with reading, writing, comprehension and spelling. Please drop me a message! Many thanks, Louise

I am a practising resident artist at a local art studio community in South London interested in encouraging a more sensitive understanding of daily life through art. I graduated with a BA in Fine Art (1st) at Chelsea College of Arts (2011-2014) including an Erasmus exchange at Iceland Academy of the Arts (2013) and achieved a Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art and Design (Distinction) at Camberwell College of Arts (2010-2011). Since completing my studies, I conducted an independent DIY artist residency (July-September 2014) in Copenhagen, Denmark culminating in a stay with a collaborative pop-up exhibition. In 2015, I was commissioned to create illustrations and video graphics for on-stage video projection design for theatre in the UK and from 2016-2017 I returned to Denmark on several occasions to collaborate with local artists and exhibit further in non-gallery spaces. Most recently, I have also exhibited in Finland and have focused on projects in the UK that encourage growth of local opportunities between creatives and the local community by leading the curation of an open studios exhibition at my studio. In addition, I have worked on projects that promote awareness of local heritage such as being commissioned for faux painting to conserve a listed building in London and exhibiting at Coventry Cathedral to help commemorate events of World War Two. Alongside my experience as an independent freelance artist, I have also assisted at leading galleries, cultural archives and more commercial settings such as art fairs which would help students interested in furthering their art studies get a better understanding of the opportunities available to help craft their own path. I have a year's experience of private art tutoring through arranging art activities for local friends and family which gave me an insight into the therapeutic qualities of my art practice and my ability to inspire confidence in individuals through teaching with my intuitive and playful approach to developing ideas by experimenting with a variety of media. Aimed at students studying GCSE/A-level/AS level Art and Design and Design & Technology. I would tailor the sessions to each student's needs starting with an open discussion to gauge their interest in the subject and what they wish to get out of the sessions such as creative skills they want to develop that will equip them with the tools they need to direct their own investigations for their coursework. Learning from examples of existing art work and design from my own experience, I will encourage students to explore how artists and designers respond to the world around them. I want to help nurture the students' observational and reflective skills to develop their individual form of expression. I work across a wide range of mediums including drawing, painting (oil and acrylic), stop motion animation, hand made/craft processes using ready available materials, recycling techniques, print making, digital photography (including editing in Adobe Photoshop), as well as old photographic processes like the Cyanotype process. From my experience and knowledge of these processes I can offer practical sessions specific to the student's choice and equipment available. I have a wide range of interests including learning languages (such as Serbian and Brazilian Portuguese from my heritage), singing, travelling, playing tennis and swimming. Recently I started conservation volunteering with a local charity for local public green spaces to help create healthier and happier communities.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher having trained in the creative arts at London’s Central St Martins and The Beaux Arts in Paris and as a teacher at UCL’s Institute of Education. I believe that the tutelage offered to every new student is as unique as a fingerprint and I work hard with my students to help them achieve their goals. As a qualified teacher for the past 6 years and acting head of department for the past 2 years I have been helping students between KS2 and post 18 to achieve success in their GCSE, A-level, BTEC and HND qualifications in Art, Textiles and functional skills maths and English. Having done this and facilitated a large number of successful university applications to prestigious UK and international arts universities for several years in London and internationally I am looking forward to supporting other students to do the same. I have worked extensively with students of all abilities, supporting the achievement of gifted and talented students and those with learning and physical impairments to achieve their greatest success. As a class teacher I have always used one-to-one tutorials to support student success tutoring both inside and privately outside school. I feel that the Arts are uniquely positioned to be personalised and I believe that the best way of enabling student success is to engage them in a personal enjoyment of the subject by providing an bespoke programme. I look forward to offering further opportunities to engage students in the arts in the near future.

I am a practising artist with 20 years’ teaching experience (15 years as Head/Director of art) I can support all pupils and adult learners at any level. I currently work as Director of Faculty in one of the UK’s leading Independent Boarding Schools. (Fine art was the best performing subject in my school at A Level Summer 2019.) Those wishing to make the next step into Further or Higher education will benefit from additional support to enrich their body of work for portfolio interview. I work with GCSE and A Level pupils to help improve their coursework. Or perhaps you’ve always wanted to improve your drawing or painting skills simply for pleasure and to learn the rudiments of direct observational study; life drawing has been a mainstay for as long as I can remember, and hundreds of younger learners and senior artists have benefitted from private tuition since I started teaching. The discipline of drawing and art practice in general, rewards individuals with the sanctuary of mindfulness in addition to the benefit of skill-based progress I can teach across all media to groups or individuals – even demonstrate how to throw a pot! – I am happy to receive bespoke enquiries. "Stuart is a great teacher, he always makes every class interesting & different each week, inspired us by using various materials & techniques in different ways stretching our minds.He is always positive with his criticism which encouraged you to produce some great works, this makes the classes enjoyable discussing our work together, feeling the group were a team. His interest & encouragement has inspired me to continue with life drawing. " Anita Page "If I have any regret of my time being tutored by Stuart it is that I only joined his group a year before he moved away from Bury St Edmunds yet even in that short time with his remarkable skills as a teacher I found my drawing skills generally; and figure drawing skills in particular; improved considerably. Because of his instruction and guidance and the foundation it gave me my art has developed and evolved to embrace most media and other genre. I will always be grateful to him." Paul Lewins "Stuart manages to bring variety in his approach to classes. Some weeks he positions tables propped upright on their ends and we work in various media on paper the full size of the model. Sometimes we draw a model who moves in various ways in rotation. Our still life evenings are also different, he brings in a pigs head for us to draw, and also a brace of pheasants. Stuart is always very encouraging. He covers all the basics in teaching us how to measure the body by eye, by aligning different parts of the body, and demonstrates different media techniques. " Caroline Bell "Stuart came with enthusiasm and willingness to share his skills. Within the group hw was able to bring out individual artistic talents. He gave us confidence to attempt many different techniques. My art abilities are definitely built on groundings set by him" Sandie Taylor

Why should I start art classes?

Art classes really are for everyone. Whether you’re an experienced creative, or can’t remember the last time you picked up a paint brush, the process of learning about artistic technique and honing your creative skills is always beneficial and will deliver numerous gifts. Developing as an artist will not only give you access to a fulfilling hobby but will help you think outside the box, and further your problem solving skills.

How much do private art classes cost?

Our tutors offer tuition from as little as £20/hr so, whatever your budget may look like, you’re sure to find a top-quality art teacher.

Want to get better at art?

Are your days feeling stagnant and uncreative? Art classes could be the perfect cure! During the pandemic, many who perhaps wouldn’t normally have been inclined towards artistic pursuits began to try out new hobbies and found them incredibly fulfilling. Join them and team up with our dedicated art tutors to start discovering your inner talent.

If you’re interested in taking up art as a hobby, or even as a more ambitious pursuit, but aren’t quite sure where to start, private art classes are the perfect solution. Students often feel intimidated by larger groups, especially with a subject that requires them to put themselves out there and take risks. But private art classes will allow you to explore and experiment while also feeling safe and free from judgement.

Your art classes will be tailored around you and your unique interests, and so can cover anything from the canon of art history to watercolour technique. Our art tutors are experienced and, most importantly, enthusiastic, dedicated to helping others discover their artistic potential, even if they’re entirely new to art.

To start 1:1 art classes in Shrewsbury, all you have to do is get browsing our generous selection of art tutors and book an introductory chat with your preferred tutor - it’s free! Don’t hesitate to contact our team if you need any guidance within your decision making.
