Royal Drawing School alumnus and faculty. Specialist in observational drawing and painting as well as exam and portfolio preparation. Skills based teaching with patient and encouraging approach!

I met Rachel as a professional teacher for London Drawing (Life drawing). I soon took private painting lessons with her. We remain good friends and I highly recommend her!

Rachel is robust in her understanding of painting techniques , colour theory and contextual knowledge. As a practising artist she has a level of insight into painting that is a valuable asset. She is clear and eloquent in her teaching, and able to adapt to tutees of any level. Having worked alongside her for a number of years, I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have had the pleasure of modelling for Rachel many times over the last few years. The reason it is a such a pleasure is that it allows me to observe Rachel’s excellent and encouraging tuition be it beginner artists right through to experienced artists developing their style.
I am very impressed with Rachel’s knowledge of art history and how this is suggested in classes. Her group and one-to-one tuition are always both very encouraging and thoughtfully tailored to the experience of the artist.
I know that Rachel is a very popular tutor as she always creates a great atmosphere for the class, consistently delivers excellent learning, and always gets and gives the very best from her students.
Her classes are successful from traditional to innovative subject matter in life, costumed and portrait to drawers and painters. I always feel that Rachel’s class has been a true collaboration between students, tutor and model, and the model needs are well looked after and valued.
I personally hope that I model for many more of Rachel’s excellent classes.

Rachel is an amazing tutor, she is warm and kind and incredibly talented. She’s very understanding and was a tremendous help in not only my applications to art college, but my journey in learning how to paint.

Rachel is an amazing art tutor. She teaches good technique as well as allowing her students to let their creativity show in their work. Her passion for art really shines through, making lessons engaging and memorable.

Rachel is a brilliant life drawing tutor, I met her at a life drawing class in London. She has great skill in communicating ideas and techniques in a way that is engaging and exciting. There is an immediacy to her approach as well as a deep intelligence. Rachel has helped me hugely to develop and improve my own practice and I would recommend her without hesitation.

Rachel has been truly formative in my art journey, she’s always able to push you more and see your potential even when you can’t. Her teaching has been inspirational for me. Rachel’s taught me things I never thought I could do.
