Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach oil painting, acrylic painting, pencil drawing and charcoal drawing across a wide range of subjects. This can be within the framework of GCSE, A-level, Degree or Adult Education / Hobby. I am also able to give help with project work, portfolio building, developing ideas, essay writing, research and art history.

I offer well structured courses as well as individually tailored programs of tuition - this not only makes the lessons well planned, but enables the student / parent to envision what the lesson will include and how much time will be involved. This also gives the opportunity to greatly reduce their hourly costs by paying for the needed hours in advance at a discounted rate.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art.

What kind of experience do you have?
I have been tutoring on a one-to-one basis since 2005, teaching a wide range of people of various backgrounds, interests and levels. I also run a painting course for experienced painters at my local college and also have experience in running a life drawing course. I also have additional experience as a trained and practicing phonics tutor for both children and adults.

How much do you charge?
I charge £35 per hour for all levels except GCSE which I charge at £25 per hour. I then give discounts for hours paid in advance as follows:

(all levels except GCSE)
10 hours £315 (10% discount) £31.50 per hour  
20 hours £595 (15% discount) £29.75 per hour
30 hours £840 (20% discount) £28.00 per hour

Further discounts are available on advance payment of courses and full programs of tuition (as low as £24 per hour).

(GCSE)
10 hours £225 (£22.50 per hour)
20 hours £425 (£21.25 per hour)
30 hours £600 (£20 per hour)

Where do you teach?
I usually teach at my home studio in East Grinstead, Sussex (very near the train station). I can also travel to other locations within Sussex, Surrey, London and Kent: Forest Row, Crawley, Haywards Heath, Lingfield, Oxted, Tunbridge Wells and all London areas with underground zones 1 & 2.

Do you have a personal message for students?
