The English course is designed to help students improve their English language skills, whether written or spoken. Students learn grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and comprehension through a variety of activities such as reading exercises, discussions, role plays and written assignments. The aim is to develop students' confidence in their ability to communicate effectively in English in a variety of contexts. Location.

My lessons are safe spaces where anybody can explore, experiment with and develop their imagination and creativity. I focus on making every lesson feel like a practical workshop rather than a traditional lecture. You may bring whatever you have — an idea, a first line, a half-written chapter, a finished story, a drawing, coursework, or even nothing at all — and together we’ll figure out where you are in your creative process. From there: We make and we test. We write and read it out loud. Hearing your own words will help you spot what works and what needs improving. We work on your project. Some students like specific exercises, others prefer to develop their own novel, screenplay or school assignment with personalised feedback. Every lesson is adapted to your goal and pace. We work through a writer’s biggest challenge; writer’s block. Whether you are struggling to come up with ideas or you find yourself stuck; I will help you overcome it. A practical way might be a 10-minute freewrite, interviewing one of your characters, stripping a scene back to pure dialogue or trying a completely different exercise to get your imagination moving again. Finally, you’ll leave each lesson with practical tools, clear next steps and techniques to build momentum, confidence and creative discipline. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy the creative process and feel excited to keep writing long after the lesson ends. I work with students aged 6 and above, from complete beginners to more experienced writers. I also teach English and German.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation. Are you applying to university for a creative subject? I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally. I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes. My guidance may include: 1- Developing original ideas and personal themes. 2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes. 3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques. 4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills. 5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios. 6- Personal-statement and interview preparation. 7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses. My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further. Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process. Online lessons are available internationally.
