Portfolio Preparation for Graphic Design course applications
Undergraduate Graphic Design courses in the UK receive more applications than places on the course. Therefore your portfolio must show your enthusiasm for learning Graphic Design, and represent who you are as a creative and thinking individual. Within my undergraduate teaching, I have reviewed hundreds of portfolios; some have confused me yet others have made me want to have that student on the course! I can help you look at your current portfolio (or one you have just started), and provide structured advice on forming a portfolio that positively supports your application for an undergraduate graphic design course. I can offer guidance on: • What to include, and exclude, from your portfolio — we can review your current projects. • Representing the depth of creative investigation, and processes, behind your project work. • Including other forms of creative practice that may support your application. • Presenting your work through layout design and the use of writing/captioning. I can look at the course specification for the BA you are applying for and give specific advice accordingly. If you are expecting a face-to-face or online interview, I can share some of my experiences and offer advice on preparing yourself for what you may be asked.

Support classes in all kinds of subjects: English, language, maths, art, design...
Do you have trouble getting good grades or understanding what your teacher is explaining to you? Do you want to learn a new language in a fun and entertaining way? My name is Sara and I'm here to make your life easier, whatever it is you need to improve. After more than six years of teaching, I have realized that most of the time, in the traditional educational system, there are no other tools or they are not provided for those students who need other types of resources. Knowing this, my idea is to provide the student with the resources they need, in an attractive and fluid way, adapted and focused on each one. At the beginning of the classes, we will get to know each other a little and together we will develop a work plan with the methodology, processes and lessons that best fit the objectives we set for ourselves. Your successes are my successes, and you can count on me to accompany you throughout the entire process. Don't think twice and let's embark on this adventure together!
