Career One-One Tutorials

Tailored One-One Tutorials for career changers represent a unique opportunity. Many of our students embarking on career transitions were once frustrated artists or designers who still cherish their passion for art from their school days. Our clientele spans diverse professions, including barristers, social workers, neuroscientists, medical professionals, psychiatrists, MBA graduates, engineers, and consultants originating from various corners of the globe. At LAP, we deeply appreciate the courage it takes to make such bold and courageous decisions.

For beginners, there’s no need to worry about lacking skills or creative ideas. At LAP, whether through our Portfolio Course or One-One Tutorials, we always begin with the foundational aspects of drawing, introduce materials and mediums, encourage personal creative exploration, and then guide you in developing your process further. Our bespoke program is meticulously tailored to meet your individual needs and aspirations. We honour the value of your past studies while introducing a plethora of new areas to stimulate visual ideas and creative thinking. This unique approach to learning, debating, observing, and creating empowers all our students to bolster their confidence and apply newfound skills and ideas to their areas of interest.

Our One-One delivery emphasises this personalised approach, offering flexibility to revisit concepts and delve deeper into specific areas and providing ample opportunities for students to ask questions freely during their sessions. Our tutors, comprised of highly experienced practising artists and designers, bring a wealth of knowledge, with some proficiency in multiple languages and boasting diverse academic backgrounds.

Many of our clients have either transitioned out of their previous careers or are currently working in conventional jobs with fixed schedules. We accommodate your availability and preferences, offering flexibility to work around your schedule and match you with a suitable tutor. Additionally, we provide options for online, onsite, and hybrid sessions, ensuring maximum flexibility to suit your needs. Since LAP started, we’ve also been working with international students, and therefore understand the importance of giving as many options as we can to allow for accessibility for everyone.

Small group sizes with full attendance should lead to success for committed students!

“After failing my first year I began to attend one to one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto the second year!
