One-2-One Portfolio Tuition

Beginning your journey towards art school is overwhelming; full of hope and passion, but also confusion, stress and panic. Trust me, I remember it well, and I work with students year in & year out who go through the struggle.

Making your portfolio is no mean feat, and it’s a mountain that many budding creatives try to climb without guidance. Some of them manage, but many are left behind without the key knowledge of what it takes to make a successful application portfolio. 

But here’s the thing, you CAN do it! If you are creative, passionate and committed to your future, you have what it takes to succeed. You just need to have the right tools, information, conversations and breakthroughs to lead you there.

So, that’s where I come in!

what I offer:

In this 1.5hr session we will discuss your portfolio, assess it against the entry requirements for your chosen programme/school, and identify any areas which may need to be developed prior to your application.
