About Julie
Julie Read is the founder of Portfolio Oomph - getting you into art college.
Julie has 9 years teaching and interviewing at Edinburgh College of Art and 17 years teaching/mentoring and successfully preparing students and their portfolios for art college applications. She is also experience in working with students for their higher and advanced higher art and design coursework.
Since establishing in 2012 my success rate from tutoring (mentoring) is over 90% with some students receiving as many as 5 unconditional offers.
With an emphasis on ideas and sketchbook development (as is necessary in all UK art and design courses) my tutoring is exploratory and led very much by the individual.
I also have a range of online tutorials that you can study independently to boost your portfolio and give you the confidence to succeed.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
We have employed Julie to advise senior pupils from across our region to help our young people produce successful portfolios as part of their application to Art College. All the students involved found it her approachable and engaged quickly with her. Julie gave us vital information in relation to the digital uploading of imagery which made the process far faster and less stressful for all involved. She also spoke about sketchbooks and their role in supporting the finished work. Julie supported her approaches with well produced and inspirational PowerPoints that further engaged the students. She was professional, punctual and well prepared in her delivery and manner. Julie also provides on-going support following her sessions through her website and email access. Overall, I would highly recommend Julie as a mentor and tutor.
I have known Julie for over 20 years, as both a colleague and a friend. Julie is one of the most dedicated, hardworking and inspiring people I know. She is passionate about Art and Teaching, and has dedicated her business to helping adults, young people and children achieve their goals and their potential through their artwork. She is a wonderful, positive teacher and mentor, and has helped many achieve success through their art. Her warmth and commitment has had a great impact on everyone she has worked with, so I would thoroughly recommend Julie as a tutor.
