Information About Christopher - Princes Risborough teacher

Personal Description:

UAL Lecturer, Portfolio Mentorship for Art & Design Applicants (14–20yrs)

I’m a lecturer at University of the Arts London with extensive experience supporting students aged 14–20 in building strong, distinctive portfolios for Foundation and BA-level applications.

I specialise in helping students:
Develop a cohesive and personal body of work
Move beyond school-level outcomes into portfolio-ready practice
Prepare for applications to UAL and other leading art institutions

My own creative practice has won multiple accolades from Arts Council England funding for my current project Interwoven: Neurodiversity and the creative mind to winner of best fashion film in the Tribeca film festival.

Teaching Experience:

Over the years, I’ve worked with many students progressing into Foundation courses and beyond, often beginning with early-stage ideas and developing them into resolved, confident portfolios.

As a private mentor and tutor I work with students across the world both online and in person. My tailored lessons are devised to deliver what my students require with a primary focus on extracting each student’s instinctive talents that will allow them to build a strong body of work.

Teaching Approach:

My approach is structured but flexible, supporting each student’s individual interests, confidence, and way of working.
