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.

Film and Media expert offering support across a number of subjects, including maths and English. I'm an active film producer and film theorist who takes on some private tutoring work on the side. As such, I tend to only have one or two clients at a time, meaning my time with you is focused and catered towards your individual needs. I started my career in film after completing an undergraduate degree in Media Production at Northumbria University in Newcastle. Before graduating, I was already working in film production offices in the city and delivering work which won awards globally, including a BAFTA nominated feature film, I Am Nasrine (2012, dir Tina Gharavi). My experience has also seen me working with the delivery teams as part of large British film festivals, including Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest and now London Short Film Festival. Over the last 3 years I have supplemented this work by offering my services as a tutor, specialising in media studies and film. I have worked with private clients of all ages: either to support a young learner in their understanding of filmmaking skills, film history or perhaps the basics of animation, to augment a college or academy application; or working with adult learners, delivering more targeted sessions on specifics such as video editing, script writing or project management. Now based in South London, and shortly to complete an MA in Film & Screen Studies from Goldsmiths University of London, I am keen to share my expertise with new clients via Tutor House. I'm happy to discuss possibilities and opportunities with anyone whose curious to know more, and create a tuition plan which works best for you

I am a UCL English graduate with extensive experience in writing, editing and peer reviewing essays, critical reviews and texts. I have further tutoring experience teaching digital skills, including Photoshop, Microsoft Office and video editing. Across my time at UCL, I hosted workshops in the film studio as the Film Society's Documentary Producer, guiding students as they directed and edited short films. As an English student, I further mentored younger students through the course, engaging with texts and practising writing and proofreading - in a degree that required a fortnightly essay. My background is in writing and sub-editing magazine content, filmmaking and creative writing. As a keen reader, with a strong knowledge of literary and film history, current affairs and global news, my tutoring approach takes in the bigger picture, considering the context of what is being studied and its purpose in today's world. Always friendly and approachable, I am a strong listener and clear communicator, ready to provide insight on cultural and digital skills.

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'm a freelance illustrator and cartoonist with seven year’s professional experience. Following my studies at Central Saint Martins I have taken commissions and exhibited in high profile galleries in central London such as The Crypt in Trafalgar Square and the Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury. My work has attracted the attention of national media such as my reinterpretation of William Hogarth's iconic piece 'Gin Lane'. I enjoy working with students and supporting them in their own areas of interest. After observing the many tutors that I have studied under - from school classes, through to degree level and professional development - I believe that the most important thing I can do for a creative student is to understand what aspect of art inspires them and then to guide the development of that inspiration. I'm can tailor my classes to help my students achieve whatever creative goals they are aiming for, whether it be securing a place at a top art’s school, finding the right course, to building basic drawing skills or preparing for exams. I believe that having fundamental drawing skills in any area of the visual arts is a huge advantage. These skills allow the artist to build A strong visual foundation for their work, and enable them to more freely explore the medium they choose, whether that be a painting, animation, or even film or photography. I enjoy supporting my students in understanding that drawing is a skill that, like any other, can be improved by applying theory to practice. During my own studies and through my own professional work, I have learned to apply an analytical approach to image making. Through this experience, I have developed an in-depth knowledge in a broad range of mediums and artistic techniques. In tutoring, I draw on this to teach a variety of different artistic areas, from painting, through to sculpture, and the digital arts. I am always happy to talk through any areas a student might wish to explore, to help understand how they can best supported to grow and learn, and also to share more detail about my own work and background.

On leaving The London College of Fashion with a BA in Design I joined a studio as a designer of casual womenswear for many popular high street names. My interest in Art and historical costume led me to join the production and later the running wardrobe of The English National Opera. It is with the birth of my first child that I went into teaching, at first teaching clothesmaking, beading and textile crafts to adults. Part time study culminated with my qualifying to teach post 16 students in Further Education. I have since taught design, manufacture and textiles at several London based FE colleges. After Post Graduate study of Art History I also taught History of Art. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching Art and Design at the equivalent of GCSE and A level at BTEC levels 2 and 3. For the last three years I have worked as Assessor and Moderator of A' Level Art and Design and BTEC Level 3 qualifications. I believe strongly in creating the best possible environment for the student to experiment and develop their skills. 'Play' is very important to me, giving oneself the opportunity to experiment and develop, going off at tangents and exploring the elements without parameters. I encourage and challenge my students to work and explore the potential of a wide range of materials, techniques and processes using and combining a variety of mixed media. I continue to develop my skills through practise of my skills and visits and awareness of developments in my fields.

I am a practising artist offering lessons in Art and Textiles, support with personal statements, portfolios, critical and contextual studies and art therapy to those interested and studying Art and Textiles. I have over 2 years experience of teaching online, tutoring many Year 10 and 11 Art and Textile students, college A-Level students, Higher Education students and those looking to enter the world of art for the first time, helping them to develop their knowledge and skills through the formal elements of art and guide them through the creative process within their chosen area of study. BOOK LESSONS FOR: drawing, painting, printmaking, colour, sculpture, installation, experimenting, constructed textiles (basic plain knit, weave and felting), surface pattern, printed and dyed textiles, dyestuffs, basic machine stitching, appliqué, dye sublimation (heat transfer), yarns, threads and fabric types, idea development, coursework, annotation, personal statement, essays and portfolio. BEFORE BOOKING: Textile Design is not the same as Fashion Design, although the subjects do overlap. If you need help with pattern cutting or garment construction then you will need a Fashion Design Tutor. However, I can help with idea development. With a First Class Bachelor of Arts Degree in Surface and Textile Design and Post Compulsory PGCE in Art & Design (16+) I am qualified to teach at FE and HE (Diploma and Degree) level and happy to assist with GCSE and A-Level. I have experience formulating project briefs for FE Fine Art and Textile students, developing and delivering them through workshops and 1:1 tutorials and inspired BA Fashion with Business students as a visiting lecturer at Croydon College, London. My teaching style is friendly and informative. I facilitate learning through motivation, encouragement and praise. I believe that all great and life-long learning begins with curiosity, passion and research. Lessons usually start with discussing current work and then move on to a session that meets the needs of the student. This will involve artist research and visual inspiration for creative lessons and a 'critique' at the end to discuss how it went and how to move forward. Lessons can be one-off or on-going and would ideally begin with a free video chat. This will enable the student and the tutor to meet for a short consultation and make sure that the needs of the student can be met and the student is happy to continue. I have knowledge and experience of Edexcel BTEC National Diploma in Fine Art curriculum and Exam board and familiar with AQA GCSE Art and Textiles. I have industrial experience as a knitwear designer at several London and Brighton based textile studios, selling designs in New York and Florence. I have exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the UK and Italy and lived and trained in Barcelona, gaining a Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Qualified with Trinity International Examinations Board at Oxford House College Barcelona, 2002, I developed ways of creative teaching and learning to large groups of mixed ability classes in the UK and Spain.
