KS3 and KS4 Art and design curriculum or one off sessions

There is not always enough time during a single or double period of art weekly, in the school setting to create and complete work or achieve a desired result.
It could be that you want to get better at a desired skill or further your techniques.
Maybe you are struggling a little to understand something about the GCSE process, or do not have enough one to one support from the classroom teacher due to classroom sizes and length of the lesson.
Even if it's for Homework support or constructive feedback, I am happy to provide my service.

About Me

I’m a creative and adaptable individual with a passion for helping others express themselves through art and education. With a background in teaching and a keen interest in exploring new creative fields, I’m driven by curiosity and a love for learning. I pride myself on being empathetic, organised, and always open to new challenges, whether in a classroom or a more artistic environment. I enjoy collaborating with others and believe that creativity thrives best in inclusive, supportive spaces."

As an individual, enjoy spending time in cafe's, illustrating, drinking coffee and travelling.

Education

I hold a PGCE in Secondary Education (Art and Design) with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) from Coventry University, completed in 2022. Prior to that, I earned a BA in Illustration and Animation from the University of East London, where I achieved a 2:1. I also completed a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design with Distinction at Blake College. My education has provided me with both the creative and pedagogical skills needed to inspire and support students in their artistic development.

Experience / Qualifications

As an Art Teacher, I’ve taught GCSE and ks3 students across multiple schools, designing and delivering lessons that foster creativity and skill development. I’ve also worked with neurodivergent students and EAL learners, adapting lessons to suit diverse needs.

Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer or build a successful portfolio? It’s easier than you think!
My teaching philosophy centres around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently. As a lecturer at Central Saint Martin's i use my years of teaching experience to help every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalised, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist. Fashion design isn't just about learning techniques; it's about discovering and expressing your instinctive creative voice. In my lessons, we’ll focus on intuition-driven design—moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods and embracing a more personal, organic approach to creating fashion. Designing with intuition: You’ll learn how to trust your instincts in the design process, whether you’re sketching new ideas or creating full garments. Exploring fabric and silhouette: Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to experiment with different materials, shapes, and textures to create unique and bold designs. Breaking traditional boundaries: My approach challenges you to explore unconventional forms, colours, and patterns, encouraging designs that reflect your own artistic vision.
