Hello, I am currently on the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program (NYC) as a studio artist. Last year I was a William Alexander Fleet Fellow undertaking research in the Art and Archeology Department at Princeton University. I graduated with a 1st class honours degree in Fine Art from Magdalen College, University of Oxford where I studied at the Ruskin School of Art. I have previously studied at Camberwell College of arts where I received a Distinction in my Art Foundation and at Canon Palmer Catholic School where I received 3 As at A-Level (Maths, Philosophy and Ethics and Art) with and 2 As at AS in Physics and Further Maths.

            I have found that each student works and learns in their own manner so I find that working with them to create their own goals and schedules turns out to be the most rewarding approach to tutoring. I give constant feedback and advice in order to keep them engaged and constantly bettering themselves. Within each one-to-one tutorial I answer all questions the student may have drawing upon my diverse experience before moving on to a discussion of subject material and tailored work assignments. Detailed feedback is given constantly, in order for the student to constantly see where they need to improve and how to do so. I aim to not only ensure that the students fully understand the given topic but also become engaged in the subject as a whole and leave the tutorial for a yearning to learn more.

            I have taught in schools around the globe and worked with children and young adults of all ages. Working with 11 - 15 years olds in Shenzhen, China, 17 – 25 year olds in Jinju, South Korea, and being awarded the post of visiting Professor at Stones Sculpture Academy, Shenyang Normal University, China, I have helped students excel in a variety of exams and delivered engaging and challenging classes to impassion students.

            Outside of my artistic and musical profession and academic study I take part in a number of different sports. As a keen breakdancer I have helped choreograph and taken part in various shows around the UK. I have also rowed and played football.
