Secondary Art and Portfolio Mentoring: starting at €75 per hour

Individualized mentoring for older students, including those studying GCSE,
IB Visual Arts, or another secondary-school art program.

Rather than following a single predetermined lesson plan, sessions are tailored to the student’s current work, personal ideas, technical challenges, and school requirements. Support may include:

  • Developing ideas into original, resolved artworks

  • Working through creative blocks

  • Building specific drawing and painting skills

  • Breaking difficult elements into focused practice exercises

  • Planning and developing portfolio pieces

  • Reviewing work and identifying areas for improvement

  • Helping students become more confident and independent

Where syllabus-specific support is needed, sessions will be planned around the coursework brief, assessment criteria, and guidance provided by the student’s school.

Initial Consultation

Portfolio mentoring begins with a complimentary 30-minute consultation. This allows me to meet the student, review their current work, understand their goals and challenges, and determine whether we are a good fit.

Following the consultation, I can recommend a tailored approach and discuss possible next steps with the parent and student.

Location and Materials

Lessons are available at my home near Amsterdam’s Olympic Stadium or in the student’s home.

Materials are included for creative lessons at my location. For lessons held in the student’s home, students will need to provide their own materials; I am happy to advise on what to purchase in advance.

Home visits within approximately 15 minutes of my location are included in the hourly rate. Lessons farther away may be possible by arrangement and may include an additional travel fee based on location and travel time.

Online lessons are also available for students in other areas or time zones.

Please send me a message to enquire about availability, location, and your child’s learning goals.
