All sessions take place at my home in Lichfield, in a smoke-free and pet-free environment. Tuition is delivered on a one-to-one basis, allowing students to receive focused, individual support.

Students may choose whether they would like music playing during the session or none at all — this is entirely their preference and helps create a comfortable and productive working atmosphere.

Junior Art Sessions
(Aged 7-12)

Sessions for home-educated students focus on learning new skills within themes that interest the individual student. These sessions are structured yet flexible, encouraging both skill development and creative independence. Students will:

• Learn and practise new drawing and painting skills
• Explore artists and techniques linked to their chosen themes
• Receive clear skill guidance and demonstrations
• Be encouraged to experiment freely with a range of materials
• Develop confidence in creative decision-making
• Portfolio development

The emphasis is on enjoyment, exploration, and skill-building, while allowing students the freedom to develop their own ideas and artistic voice.
