Geraldine Trueman

I am a UK trained and qualified secondary school Art and Design Teacher and Head of Art Department.

Lesson format:

1.Portfolio review / project review. 2 to 3 lesson format.
I can provide an assessment of where I think your work is at in terms of grades and strengths and weaknesses and pinpoint areas that if you improve them will have the most impact on your grade improvement.
Follow up lesson recommended to complete the cycle of improvement.
Best done by sending photos of your project across in advance - charge of 30 minutes time for me to assess the project - with a note of which exam board you are with for assessment.

Typical lesson length -
30 minutes marking time without student present. Feedback review online 30 to 45 minutes online.

2.Technical skills and idea development.
I can teach you techniques, new ways to approach your ideas with media experimentation and lessons on composition, perspective and technical drawing techniques.
In person lessons are best for learning how to draw from life so I can correct your drawing as you work directly from a source. Art teachers - we teach you how to look.
Typical lesson length - 1 hour 15 minutes
