I have the hands-on experience needed to help build a great portfolio. I took over a multi-level high school art class 3 months into the school year after two teachers left the position. During the rest of that school year, I turned around their failing AP program, from 0% pass rate from the previous year to a 100% pass rate in 7 months. I know firsthand how hard it is for each teacher to offer one-on-one time with their students. I help to facilitate the teacher as an outside source. This is a win-win situation for students and art teachers!!
What to Expect in Class:
Each student’s track will be different. I will give a personalized, tailored approach to the student’s interests, strengths, weaknesses, and work. We go over all aspects of making a portfolio stand out, actual work, themes, techniques, photography, and writing components if applicable. When working with students under 18 yr, I will send a recap of the assignment and class info to the parent and student in an email.
I take on new students only after having had an initial talk and portfolio review with them; this will now happen online and on the phone. Parents are encouraged to be present if the student is under 18yr. After this consultation, we can discuss if we will be a good fit to work together.
Recent past students are on scholarship at SCAD, Boston University, Ringling, VCU, and Douglas Anderson.
Classes last between 30mins - 45 mins and are followed up with an email of assignment and a recap of our discussion. If under 18yrs, the parent or guardian will be copied on all emails.
