Artist Business Coaching with Aldyn R.

I started tutoring and pursuing my artistic career when I was still in High School, and I have over 20 years of tutoring experience. I have over 15 years of teaching experience, including in classrooms and online. I graduated second in my class and went on to complete my 4-year degree at U.C. Berkeley right after that, in Studio Art. I've studied and worked with many art forms including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, 3D art, digital art, installation art, and others. I've even created my own natural paints which were featured in the artwork for a showing in Oakland City Hall, CA, as well. I've tutored and taught many children, teens, and adults. Through the credentialing training program that I completed SFSU in K-12 Art, I learned a variety of skills to support and guide students in creative expression, as well as core subjects to support this single-subject, like study skills, and reading and writing. I feel it is important to balance each student's particular interests and natural talents with areas where they can improve for their success. In the last few years, I taught art to high schoolers with Alliance Charter Schools as well as in LA Unified School District. Since then, I've been pursuing my own entrepreneurial passions, and more recently, I've tutored elementary and middle-school age students in botanical art and STEAM with Novato, CA Based Electivity Kids. I'm also currently tutoring on Wyzant in multiple subjects, and have 5 star reviews. I've tutored many subjects, with art, including botanical art, as well as creative writing, being my expertise. I've also taught English as a second language and Art overseas in Taipei, Taiwan. I also do some website design, graphic design, video and sound editing, and related digital projects, media, and marketing. I've pursued other interests too, including studying Psychology, gaining certification in Clinical Herbalism, and working with clients and customers on their holistic health and nutrition, just to name a few of my interests outside of teaching and tutoring. I've helped many students of all ages dramatically improve their skills, confidence, grades, and more. One of my earlier experiences teaching was with Pre-K, and I often reflect on that experience to inform how to teach any subject to all ages and levels of expertise, as everyone was once a preschooler. It's also important to me to help students fit lessons to their particular passions, interests, and goals!
