Teaching Expertise & Methodology
My methodology revolves around breaking down highly complex art and design topics into intuitive, real-world models. Rather than relying on rote memorization, I empower students to understand the underlying logic required by examiners.
Sessions are structured around syllabus requirements, marking criteria and targeted practice so students can build clearer exam habits over time.
