Drawing Tutors : 1-1 Drawing Lessons

I completed an AS Level award in English Literature and A Levels in History, Psychology and Art and Design. I then achieved a 2:1 in BSc Applied Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University in 2014. In 2018, I successfully completed a PGCert from the University of Birmingham in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions, and in 2021 I qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.
I am a creative-thinking and motivated individual looking for a new challenge to broaden my horizons. I have previously worked as a psychological talking therapist, and I am also a qualified secondary teacher with extensive experience in schools; which has led me to my current role as an SEN tutor for adolescents who are refusing school attendance. My role is to provide them with the emotional support and encouragement needed to return to school, as well as helping them to learn and revise all curriculum material needed to pass their exams. I relish the opportunity to build positive relationships with others, as this is what motivates me, and I love to see meaningful changes which lead to bright futures; as a result of the work that myself and others have put in. I believe that in order to overcome any challenge, the first step is to identify the barriers to change. This requires the development of trusting relationships with students, as well as their parents and key staff members at their enrolled schools. Once these barriers are identified, we are able to collaboratively come up with a tailored plan to integrate students back into school.

I’m a London-based fine artist with a sculptural practice focused on life casting using materials such as silicone, resin, and latex. I graduated from the Ruskin School of Art at Oxford University in 2023 with a 2.1 and have been offered a place to study Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. I achieved A* in both Art A-Level and GCSE, alongside strong academic results in other subjects. I have experience tutoring students doing university applicantions, including those applying to top institutions like the Ruskin. I work closely with students to review their portfolios, explore their influences, and refine their technical and conceptual work. I offer guidance on personal statements and interview prep, drawing from my own experience. My aim is to help students build confidence, produce original work, and achieve their academic and creative goals.

As an experienced science tutor for GCSE and A-Level, I bring a proven track record of exceptional results and a deep understanding of what students need to succeed. Having personally navigated the 11 Plus, GCSEs and A-levels and supported students through it, I understand the process and the pressure that these exams can bring. I know how to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and support a student not only through their learning but also stress they may feel in the build-up to these exams. My lessons are tailored to each individual, building confidence and inspiring curiosity, whether tackling tricky exam questions or mastering scientific principles. I am passionate about helping every student unlock their full potential and believe every student should have a shot at performing to their highest ability to achieve outstanding results.
