About Me

I am a teaching artist who also works with technology. I have taught art, art history, making and engineering, 3D printing, English, and also creative writing. I love creative work. I love art and I love the sciences. More than anything else, I love finding connections between different disciplines, people, and ideas. AP and IB portfolios are my specialty.

I have worked in some of the toughest schools and some of the most privileged schools. Crossing these boundaries in the US and Asia, I find people need the same everywhere, a partner and coach to explore ideas and to build a plan and portfolio for moving forwards. Let's face it, everything is more fun with enthusiasm, focus, and some laughter to make the difficult work more fun.

Education

BA, Denison University. Granville, Ohio. English-Writing degree
I did half of an MFA Poetry at George Mason University but left to work at The Smithsonian in their museum education programs.
Master's Degree at Concordia University-Portland Campus in Education Curriculum & Instruction with a focus on e-learning.

Experience / Qualifications

I began teaching Art in 1999, grades 5-8 in Philadelphia. I taught in Chicago from 2002-2012 mostly teaching art and art history to grades 6-12. I then took my technology degree and ran maker spaces in schools teaching 3D printing, design, digital fabrication, and innovation.

Since moving to Hong Kong in 2019, I have been teaching a little of everything, mostly as a tutor. My specialty is making learning fun and building portfolios and creative projects using multiple disciplines. Whether you want to build an art portfolio to get into a US or UK art school, build an inventor's portfolio for boarding school, or start your own company before you leave high school or gymnasium, I have the experience and energy to help you create your own success! Do what you love and love what you do!

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.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language.

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

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.

Canva is one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly design tools available but most people only scratch the surface. This class is designed to help you confidently create professional, eye-catching designs for social media, branding, and everyday use.

In this class, you’ll learn how to navigate Canva with ease, use templates effectively, choose fonts and color palettes that actually work, and design content that looks polished and intentional. We’ll cover everything from Instagram posts and TikTok covers to flyers, presentations, and personal branding visuals.

Whether you’re a content creator, small business owner, or just want your designs to stop looking “DIY,” this session will give you practical skills you can use.

Lesson Overview

Who: Johannes – Brand owner and Central Saint Martins graduate with experience in celebrity dressing and industry experience in luxury couture houses

Techniques & methodology: Practice-led, studio-based teaching combining draping on the body, pattern making, sewing, and portfolio development, tailored to individual goals

Lesson length: Typically 90 minutes, allowing time for hands-on making, discussion, and feedback

Who the lessons are for: Students aged 16+, including foundation, BA, and MA applicants, as well as early-career designers seeking portfolio refinement or industry insight

Languages: English and German

Focus: University applications, professional portfolios, technical development, and understanding industry expectations

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry. My technical foundation is shaped by experience in couture and luxury fashion environments including Viktor&Rolf, Givenchy, Balmain, and bespoke tailoring ateliers.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level. I work closely with students to ensure their portfolios clearly communicate both creative identity and readiness for academic or professional progression. I am fluent in German and, with formal training in painting, can also support students in developing visual research, composition, and fine art–led portfolio work where relevant.

This class combines practical art skills with inspiring art history and cultural storytelling.

Students will learn essential creative techniques including drawing in an imaginary way the human body and face, colour theory, and expressive mark making. Alongside technical training, we will explore influential artists and artistic movements, with a focus on themes such as legacy, identity, Balkan history, post-Soviet and dissident art traditions.

Hello to all curious parents!
I am not an ordinary babysitter — I am first and foremost a facilitator of creative and educational workshops for children.
With a solid background in drawing and painting, as well as a TOEFL certification, I offer fun sessions where your children explore the world of colors, shapes and English, all while having fun.
In the program :
🎨 Drawing and painting classes (pencils, watercolor) adapted to each age group
🌍 Introduction to English through songs, stories and games
🎬 Discovering cartoons as a tool for learning and expression
✨ Creation of educational games that stimulate imagination and motor skills
My goal: to transform every moment into a creative experience, where the child learns to express themselves, to observe and to create with pleasure — while naturally developing their ear for English.
Ideal for curious, creative children, or those who simply want to spend a different kind of afternoon, with their hands in the paint and their heads in the stars!

📍 Home or online sessions — In Bordeaux and surrounding areas.
📩 Feel free to contact me to design a custom workshop for your child!

Do you have ideas, texts, or memories lying dormant in your drawers or on your computer?

Are you passionate about writing, active in an association, or simply curious to understand current developments?

I will support you in transforming these desires into concrete achievements.

The digital world is evolving rapidly, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can fascinate, impress, or even worry. When used properly, it's a powerful tool for creating, organizing, and expressing yourself. Whether you want to stay current or fulfill a long-held creative dream, technology can be a driving force for your projects.

What I wish to offer you (my methodology)

My role is not to do things for you, but to give you the tools to become independent. My approach is based on:
- Project-based learning: we don't learn for the sake of learning, we learn to achieve.
- Clarity: no unnecessary technical jargon. I explain concepts with simple words and concrete images.
- Critical thinking: I help you use AI consciously, understanding its limitations and always keeping your personal touch.
- Patience: we progress at your pace, on your equipment, in a spirit of kindness and exchange.

Specific examples of what we can accomplish together:

For writing: Have you written memoirs or short stories? Let's use AI to correct the style, create a professional layout and finalize the story.

For image and sound: bring your stories to life by creating unique and original illustrations, podcasts, or music.

For everyday life: mastering communication tools (social networks, websites) to promote an association or a personal project.

For exploration: learn to "chat" with an AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) to conduct in-depth research or organize a complex trip.
