About Viktoriya

I’m an artist, First Class UAL graduate and GCSE and A Level Art tutor with 5+ years of experience helping students develop their artistic skills, improve their grades and gain confidence in their creative work.

I offer highly personalised mentoring for a limited number of GCSE and A Level students each academic year. My approach is tailored to each student, whether they are aiming to move from a B or C towards an A or A*, looking to strengthen their coursework and sketchbooks, or preparing for their final exams.

I have helped students achieve A* grades across Art & Design, Fine Art and Photography, working with both AQA and Edexcel exam boards, as well as supporting students studying internationally, including IB Visual Arts.

Alongside school and exam support, I help students prepare competitive portfolios and applications for leading art and creative universities. I have supported students who went on to study Fine Art, Illustration and Architecture at universities including UAL, Southampton, Manchester and Plymouth. I can also help with personal statements, portfolio development, project ideas and preparing for interviews.

I also work with younger students in Years 7, 8 and 9, helping them build strong foundations in drawing, painting and creative thinking, as well as preparing for secondary school art scholarships and eventually their GCSEs.

My teaching is not about giving every student the same formula. I want to understand how each student thinks and works as an artist, then help them develop their own strengths while meeting the requirements of their course or application.

I teach painting, drawing, acrylics, oil painting and mixed media, and I also work with students who are completely new to art or returning to it after a break.

I am currently creating my timetable for the upcoming academic year and accepting enquiries. I only take on a limited number of GCSE and A Level students each year so that I can give each student the level of individual attention and mentoring they need. If you are interested in working together this academic year, I recommend getting in touch early to discuss availability and your goals.

My lessons are built around the individual student rather than following a fixed programme. I start by understanding where you are currently at, what you enjoy making, where you feel less confident and what you want to achieve. From there, we create a clear plan together.

For GCSE and A Level students, I combine practical art making with focused guidance on coursework, sketchbooks, artist research, experimentation and exam preparation. I help students understand what the assessment criteria are asking for, while making sure their work still feels personal and genuinely creative. Rather than simply telling you what to change, I encourage you to develop your own ideas and learn how to make stronger artistic decisions independently.

Lessons can include working directly on your current coursework, developing new project ideas, improving drawing and painting skills, experimenting with different materials, analysing artists, or preparing for an exam or portfolio deadline. I can also give detailed feedback between lessons and help you plan what to work on independently.

For university applicants, lessons are focused on developing a strong and individual portfolio rather than simply creating work that looks impressive. We can work through project development, editing and selecting work, sketchbook presentation, personal statements and interview preparation.

For younger students and beginners, lessons are more exploratory and encouraging. We can work on drawing, painting, colour, composition and mixed media through practical projects designed around their interests. I also help students preparing for secondary school art scholarships.

I teach oil painting, acrylics, drawing and mixed media, and I welcome students who are completely new to art as well as those who have painted before but want to return to it and rebuild their confidence.

My goal is for students to leave each lesson knowing what they have learned, what they have improved and what they can explore next. I want them to become more confident not only in making art, but in thinking and speaking about their work as an artist.

  • When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    When I was 16, I applied for an art assistant job with a local Art teacher that needed help with her classes. I loved working with children and learned a lot about how to be a good teacher and connect with my students. When the quarantine started, the Art classes stopped and that's when I decided I want to start my own online tutoring account. Four years later I know that's one of the best decisions I have ever made.
  • Which artists or works affect you the most?

    I love drawing and painting portraits, especially the ones that show true emotion. My main inspirations comes from artists such as Jenny Saville, Egon Schiele, Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. I am deeply fascinated with surrealism and the works of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte. All those artists have a very unique way in which they express themselves and what they believe in through their art. This is something I strive to do in my own work.
  • What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?

    Having a strong passion for the Arts and wanting to share it with other people is what got me here. I love to pass my passion on to my students, I like to celebrate each small achievement with them such as using watercolours for the first time, finishing their first self-portrait or getting that Art GCSE grade they wished for. Being able to help and make my students feel more confident makes my job so rewarding and its something I look forward to every day.
  • What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Make sure your creative projects relate to your interests and its something you care about. This will make the process of completing the work enjoyable. Always find a way to make the project your own and don't be scared of failure. Every artists experience dissatisfaction with their work sometimes.
  • How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    Painting to me is therapeutic and makes me let go from all the worries of the day. Its a way for me to communicate my inner feelings and subconscious thoughts and get them out on a canvas.
  • What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    I have completed some of my first big commissions in 2022, a portrait and a still life. I am also proud of the progress I am making with my Art tutoring business and connecting with more and more students eager to learn.
  • Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?

    Some of my students often surprise me on how quick they are capable of learning. When something sparks their curiosity, they become very determined to master it. One of my students is only 9 years old but has a very good observational skills and sense for composition. He loves to draw different characters and pays so much attention to the details that makes his work exceptionally compared to his peers.
  • Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    Draw everyday and write down your ideas when they impulsively pop up in your head. Remember what inspires you and always strive to improve your skills. Experiment with different materials and styles and don't limit yourself.
