I am an experienced teacher of art & design/ photography as of 24 years experience working with AQA,OCR, & edexcel exam groups. If you need help with time management, going through your portfolio, sketchbook annotations, technique application, how to get that grade A**/9 or just motivation to get the work done, then I am here to help.
What I think is the most important thing about my teaching technique is that I like to keep things positive! So usually I like to start my sessions by talking about what we may have learnt or what we feel happy with in order to set the session off to a great start. I also like to talk about our aims, what we want to achieve within that session or within the next few sessions. By setting these short-term goals; not only does it make the prospect of learning all the content for exams slightly less daunting but also increases confidence as we will be achieving these small goals constantly.
I have 23 years experience teaching ks1 through to foundation at university. I have been working in the independent and state sectors.
