About Valerie

Hi! I'm Valerie, a Visual Arts teacher at an International School in Mauritius. I have been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. I graduated in Art & Design A levels in high school with an A*, distinguishing myself as one of the top ten best students in the subject in my country. My journey continued with a Fine Arts degree in Paris with High Honors, and I have been teaching Fine Arts for the past few years. My area of expertise is especially Painting Related Media and Digital Art, although I also enjoy sculpting and painting mediums. My greatest joy has been sharing my passion and knowledge with my students, who constantly amaze me with their creativity. Visual Arts is a truly gratifying subject, but it can also be draining mentally and physically. I aim to cater to my students individually and bring them to their highest potential while supporting them to handle the pressure of the subject at their level. I am here to develop the student's critical and practical skills, giving them the proper structure to follow quickly and making IBDP more accessible. I also teach IGCSE, O Level and A Level, and I am a tutor for each of these programs, giving structured support to fill the expectation of the different assessors.

My methodology and approach to tutoring

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I will first ask about the student program and what they have reached. I will ask the student to show any work in progress or completed for each component (IA, Process Portfolio, and Comparative Study). The student will be asked what their expectation and most urgent need are. Based on this, I will give a structured proposal of what can be tackled in a few lessons.
