Présentation

Sophia is an artist, tutor, curator and researcher. Her work addresses the construction of identity through relationships and more recently her research and practice is oriented toward group dynamics, collectivity, cooperation and self-organisation – blurring the boundaries between art, education and activism to question the ontology of art, its social functions and institutional contexts, and to experiment with collective economies and learning environments. In 2015 she founded ART&CRITIQUE, an alternative art education network, superseded in 2019 by the Radical Pedagogy Research Group, a peer-led participatory action-research project. She is currently working on a project to start a co-operative art school, providing a self-organised and sustainable alternative to mainstream art education. She is a former member of Exploding Cinema, The Field, Deptford Cinema, Body Politic and other collectives.

Education

Sophia has a practice-based PhD in Fine Art from Goldsmiths. Her research interests include institutional critique and the relationship between art and politics, institutions and independent organisations and collective practices. She has a BA in Fine Art (Sculpture) First Class Honours with Distinction with studies in Photography, Printmaking, Stage Design, Graphic Design, Theory of Art, History of Art, Philosophy of Aesthetics, Architecture, Pedagogy & Psychology of Education and Didactics in Art Education.

An engineer by training, I have been supporting students of all levels, in mathematics and beyond, for 10 years.

My classes aren't just about explaining formulas: I strive to convey a work method, self-confidence, and a positive approach to learning. Together, we'll work on gaining a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, but also on becoming more organized, managing stress, and progressing independently.

👉 What I propose:

- Clear explanations adapted to your level

- Practical and structured exercises

- Helps with memorization and organization

- Stress management and mental preparation before exams

- Regular and personalized monitoring

It's September, the start of the new school year: the perfect time to get off to a good start and give yourself the best possible chance. Getting support now will allow you to approach the year with confidence, with a solid foundation and an effective working method.

My goal? For you to succeed in math and gain peace of mind, so you can progress in school and beyond.

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.

🎓 Methodological support for research-creation theses (Master's & Doctoral level)
Are you preparing a thesis in visual arts, digital arts or aesthetics, and you feel stuck?

- You don't know where to start?
- Is your plan lacking in coherence?
- Do you have difficulty articulating your artistic practice with theoretical concepts?
- Are you experiencing a block in your writing?

I support you in structuring your artistic and theoretical thinking through an original method I have developed: the Constellations Model, designed specifically for research-creation.

🌿 My approach
My job is to help you:

- Clarify your artistic intentions
- Identify your mental and conceptual associations
- Develop a personal methodology based on your practice
- Articulating artistic approach and theoretical frameworks
- Develop a writing style that is sensitive, rigorous, and critical

👀 In the age of artificial intelligence, I help you develop a unique and structured way of thinking that automated tools cannot produce.
👀 AI can assist writing — but it does not replace either an embodied methodology or critical thinking rooted in your practice.

🛠 Support may include:

- Mental and semantic association exercises
- Clarification of intentions and motivations (reflective methods)
- Assistance in structuring the plan
- Introduction to aesthetic and technical analysis methods
- Editorial support

🎯 Target audience
- Students in a research-creation Master's program
- Pre-doctoral students
- Doctoral students
- Artists developing a theoretical reflection on their practice

🥇Areas of expertise:
- Visual Arts
- Arts and new media, digital arts
- Research-creation methodology

Analysis of your project, identification of obstacles and proposal of a personalized strategy.

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 :)

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Ce que ce coaching apporte concrètement
→ Des progrès visibles dans les notes — en quelques semaines
→ La fin du cycle « je révise, je perds tout au contrôle »
→ Une méthode transférable à toutes les matières, pas juste au prochain cours
→ Une autonomie réelle, qui tient dans la durée
→ Un rapport différent à l'effort : votre enfant voit enfin le lien entre ce qu'il fait et ce qu'il obtient

__________________________________________
Résultats observés dès les premières séances
La plupart des élèves découvrent qu'ils tiennent 2h de travail sans décrocher — souvent pour la première fois. C'est le premier signe concret que quelque chose change en profondeur.
__________________________________________
Format des séances
Séances de 2h voire 3h — format intentionnel pour que la méthode s'ancre en pratique, pas juste le temps d'une heure. On travaille sur ses vrais cours, pas sur des exercices abstraits. J'intègre également l'usage intelligent de l'IA comme outil de travail.
___________________________________________
Pour qui ?
→ Lycéens en terminale ou en prépa
→ Étudiants en L1/L2, BTS, IUT qui décrochent malgré le travail fourni
→ Élèves brillants dont les notes ne reflètent pas le potentiel
→ Jeunes en perte de confiance face à leurs études
___________________________________________
PhD · Enseignante-chercheuse à l'université depuis 1997 · Directrice d'IUT pendant 10 ans · Centaines d'étudiants accompagnés dans leur transition lycée → supérieur.
Cette double expérience — côté enseignante ET côté accompagnatrice — me permet de voir exactement où votre enfant se bloque et d'agir directement sur la cause.
