I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).

Almost everyone has admired the masterpieces of Raphael or Michelangelo—but what makes their art truly remarkable? In my classes, I’ll guide you step by step in academic drawing and painting, starting with pencil and watercolor, and exploring other techniques if you wish.

From the fundamentals to portraits, landscapes, and beyond, each lesson is tailored to your interests and goals. I’ll help you develop your technical skills while nurturing your own artistic voice.

With a background in architecture and training at a professional school of fine art drawing, I combine structured guidance with creative freedom.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class will help you learn, create, and bring your artistic visions to life.

I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners with 6 years of experience in Secondary Education and private Spanish classes. I try to focus my classes with a wide range of activities and games that motivate students without overwhelming them, and with an attempt at cultural immersion that supports language learning. In my classes, I coordinate different resources, including technology (learning platforms through games, etc.). I also have experience preparing students for GCSE exams at levels A1-B2.
I provide the same approach to my History/Art History classes.

I am calm and patient and help you to focus on foundational skills, including reading a simple pattern, identifying stitch types, joining new yarn, and finishing techniques. Focus can be basic stitches like chain stitch, single and double crochet, joining in new yarn, good tension and even edges.

My name is Noah, and with me you’ll receive personal mentoring focused on developing artistic series, visual language, and coherent photographic projects. We will work with your personal vision, helping you find your own language and strengthen it.

I hold a diploma in Photography as well as in Ceramics Design. I have worked for almost eight years in the movie industry, both as a props maker and as an on-set photographer. Alongside this and my own personal projects, I also worked on fashion collaborations, including 3D scanning and multimedia techniques. So if you feel like mixing things up a bit and are drawn to fine art approaches, you are in the right place :)

I am happy to work with adults who already have their own practice, university students who want to strengthen their uniqueness or clarify their interests, as well as students applying to university. Let me know where and which department you are applying to, and we can build your portfolio together.

I also work with children who love creative activities, as well as with kids who may struggle to relax, express themselves, or connect with their emotions through creative processes.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions — I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

(If by any chance you are Hungarian, the class can be held in Hungarian as well!)

Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

In my classes, I work with mindfulness, presence, energetic expansion, and ancestry as foundational elements of the creative process. Through embodied practices, I guide students in developing self-awareness, a deeper connection with themselves, and a conscious interaction with space. This work can be directed both toward the construction of truthful, grounded characters and toward more abstract explorations, engaging the interior dimensions of each individual and their unique expressive potential.
I am a Brazilian actress and educator based in Glasgow, with over 13 years of experience in theatre and butoh. With a background in Dramatic Arts, Psychoanalysis, and Literature, my work is grounded in ongoing field research and embodied practice, bringing together lived experience and teaching. I have been teaching since 2012 and successfully transitioned to online instruction in 2019, building a loyal and engaged community of students in Brazil. I am now excited to expand my work and share this practice with students worldwide.
As a member of the Brazilian theatre group Coletivo MÓ, I specialize in physical theatre techniques inspired by masters such as Luís Otávio Burnier, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba, Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Tadashi Endo. My practice also incorporates elements of Butoh dance and clow, creating a rich, multidimensional approach to performance, creativity, and self-expression.

Find your own way of expressing yourself. What motivates me is collaboration: I enjoy mentoring ideas and projects. More than a teacher, I see myself as a bridge between creative processes with a global perspective. After living and teaching in New York, Mexico City, England, and Jordan, I've developed a methodology that integrates intercultural sensitivity with filmmaking techniques, digital art, and creative writing. I also enjoy teaching English and Spanish.
