Personalised A-Level Photography Tuition
Boost confidence, build powerful coursework, and fall in love with photography.
A bespoke learning experience for A-Level students who need more than just the classroom.
Studying A-Level Photography can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many students feel the pressure to keep up with deadlines, meet exam board criteria, and stay creatively inspired — all at once. My private tuition sessions are designed to lift that weight, reignite passion, and support students with a focused, personal approach that works alongside their college or sixth-form studies.
I work with A-Level students across the UK to help them build stronger, more creative, and academically sound coursework — while gaining confidence and a deeper understanding of photography’s place in the world.
Why choose private A-Level photography tuition?
I have helped students go from overwhelmed to outstanding with my tailored, supportive and motivational sessions. With a proven track record and glowing testimonials, I offer something more than just tuition — I provide mentorship, structure, and creative spark.
What I offer:
- Personalised sessions: Tailored to your current syllabus, project theme, skill level, and personal challenges.
- 1:1 focused support: One-hour sessions designed to meet each student where they are — creatively and emotionally.
- Confidence building: Many students simply need someone to say “you can do this” — and show them how.
- Coursework strategy: I help students create powerful, well-structured coursework that hits exam board targets and tells their personal story.
- Supportive mentoring: I listen, encourage, and push students to see their unique creative voice.
- Flexible scheduling: Sessions to fit around college, mock exams, and coursework deadlines.
- Online or in-person options: UK-wide online sessions, or in-person tutoring where location allows.

I work in tandem with your existing college tutor and your exam board, to ensure your coursework is not just creatively inspiring, but academically sound. Whether you need help with refining a theme, strengthening annotation, improving practical techniques, or embedding historical and contextual references — I am here to fill in the gaps and help you thrive.
