Teaching Drawing the Fun, Effective Way

Bennett N.

I am a designer, educator, and artist with several years of experience teaching drawing and creative skills to students of all ages. I earned my Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where I focused on how people learn best through creativity, visual thinking, and hands-on exploration. I currently teach design and visual communication at the university level, and I bring the same clarity, patience, and enthusiasm to my one-on-one drawing instruction as I do to the classroom.

I have taught beginners, hobbyists, and advanced art students in both group and individualized settings, including community art programs, private lessons, and college-level studio courses. My teaching approach is warm, encouraging, and highly adaptive—I meet every student where they are, whether they want to build strong fundamentals, strengthen observational skills, prepare a portfolio, or simply rediscover the joy of making art. I use a combination of demonstrations, guided practice, constructive feedback, and creative exercises to help students develop confidence and see real progress in their work.

My goal as a drawing tutor is to make art feel accessible, engaging, and personally meaningful. I believe anyone can learn to draw with the right support, and I work hard to create an environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and growing at their own pace. Whether you're starting from the very beginning or looking to refine your technique, I’m committed to helping you develop the skills, creativity, and artistic voice you’re looking for.
