Unlock Your Creative Potential with Colora Art Tutoring
Explore Our Tailored Art Lessons
Personalised Art Instruction
Lessons offered
The lessons I currently offer are taught from EYFS through to KS2, however older children are welcome to join if it fits their learning needs as I am aware not every child works at their age related level. As the business grows, more lessons will be added connecting art with other subjects. Lessons vary in length due to the age group and how long a child is able to focus for.
All equipment for the lessons will either be inexpensive or things you can find around the house. Plenty of notice will be given via newsletter stating what we are learning the following term and what equipment will be needed as well as a weekly reminder on my social pages.
Meet the tutor…….
My name is Michelle and I am the online tutor for Colora Art and I am a self employed Art and Wellbeing Tutor. My journey started many years ago where I have always had a passion for art and I studied to achieve a Distinction in Advanced GNVQ in Art and Design followed by a Distinction in a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design with a Certificate in Art and Craft studies specialising in Life Drawing and photography. This then took me on to studying Decorative Artefacts at De Montfort University.
I have 18 years experience of working in Education, 10 of those years I trained and studied completing my Level 3 NVQ and Level 3 Diploma in Teaching and Support work in Schools while working closely and teaching children in small groups with various levels of SEN specialising in children with ASD and behaviour.
Alongside this, I also spent 2 years working in a Family Counselling Service where I gained my Level 2 qualification in Child Attachment, Separation and Loss and a Certificate in Understanding Child Bereavement. This allowed me to give emotional support to children affected by trauma through art and play to children from ages 4 and upwards.
I then trained with a Psychology Service to gain my Emotional literacy (ELSA) Certificate where I planned and taught my own sessions and then went on to gain a Level 2 Diploma in Understanding Children and Young Peoples Mental Health to support them in articulating their emotions.
As I had a passion for Art and emotional therapy, I decided to put the two together and studied for my Certificate in Art therapy so I could help children to express themselves and become a more confident individual. There is something magical about seeing a child proud of themselves and what they have achieved even if the progress is small because that progress maybe massive to them.
For the last 8 years I have been teaching whole classes after gaining my Higher Level 4 TQ where I planned and taught a variety of subjects focusing mainly on Art, PE and Music in EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
