I usually focus specifically on developing the student's level of skill in their preferred style of art and teach them new techniques (e.g. hatching, negative and positive spaces, contrast etc.). My lessons range from a length of 30 minutes to 1 hour and I only teach on weekends. I have a grade 9 qualification in my Art GCSE and have deep understanding of the entire courseworks (such as what the examiners are looking for in an artist research etc.). Personally, I will recommend students ranging from the ages of 6-14 to attend my lessons, they can be people who do art as a hobby or subject in school/GCSE.

  • When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    I started persuing art at the age of 5, it was my first ever passion and I still practice it regularly today at an expert's level. This passion first found me when my parents signed me up for a sketching class when I was 5, which sparked an interest I had never quite felt for anything else.
  • Which artists or works affect you the most?

    The artist's work that affected me the most was Florian Nicolle, she mixes a great range of mediums including oil paint and newspaper to create detailed yet abstract arts with deep symbolism. She showed me that art doesn't have to be traditional, and can be created in any way shape and form, and that the true beauty lies not only in visuals but also meaning.
  • What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?

    Art requires patience and dedication, it took me years before my artworks started looking visually pleasing. This dedication is needed to practice over and over again, and be able to accept failure and continue to strive for mastery over the techniques.
  • What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Don't be held back by past failures, but instead learn from it and improve. If a creative project is going badly, ask for creative inputs, your friends, teachers or family can always offer opinions from perspectives you've never thought of.
  • How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    The idea of being able to illustrate images of endless representation fascinated me, while both my parents are also artists. Having the ability to create stunning artworks and communicate the image in my head makes me feel extraordinary and unique, as I have an extra medium of communication that isn't verbal.
  • What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    I competed in the in the HAPPY DEGART 2024 international competition provided by a well established art gallery, where I won an art diploma for placing in the top 5 out of thirty thousand competitors across the world.
  • Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?

    Many times have I been surprised by a student's creative ability or learning skills, as art is the skill of creation, young minds tend to offer many unique and never thought of perspectives, which I always find fascinating and pleased with.
  • Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    My secret is to always guide the students to answer their own questions and learn, instead of spoon feeding them knowledge and skills. Which I find rather artificial, and ineffective. Lastly, I always keep the lessons light hearted.
