About Silvia
Process is my key word! Art & science explorer. :)
I’m an artist and educator sharing my creative processes with students of all ages. I’ve mentored university students and put on art workshops at schools and nurseries following EYFS. My teaching method is focused on investigating the best individual journey for my students through critical thinking and making.
My online art lessons via Skype are 1+ hours. You don't need to have Skype on your device to join the meeting, I send you a meeting link after a lesson is bought. I use a high end AVerVision M15W visualiser with a 13-megapixel camera with 4K, 60fps imaging during my lessons, which means you can benefit from a clear image* when I'm demonstrating an art technique or interacting with you. (* as long as your internet speed is good.)
If you prefer an art session in person*, I tend to bring some art materials with me and we can explore together. I may or may not travel to your area, please check via a message prior booking your lessons.
* may not always be available, depending on the Corona Virus conditions.
The weekend sessions are charged at +£5 p/h additional rate.

Parent's comments:
“Silvia also trained Eve in observational drawing which is an important part of the Art Scholarship applications for the 11+ entrance exams. She helped my daughter to record her ideas and processes in a sketchbook and helped her to put together her art portfolio for presentation in Art Scholarships.”
“Thanks to Silvia’s tutoring, Eve was invited to participate in four different art assessments which resulted in the offer of one Art Scholarship.”

Something about me: I am a sculptor interested in our relationship with water and natural environments. I find endless inspiration in natural or man-made water filtration systems (water treatment plants, natural and constructed wetlands). I value a development process of a project during which I am normally driven by the physicality and texture of the materials. I call this ‘material thinking’ using steel, paper, clay, found natural and man-made objects, concrete, and other materials.
My art is often interactive with educational and environmental elements. I invite people and animals to participate and create collaborative pieces together. I have also been exploring how art and science can work collaboratively and I’ve been lucky to have worked in partnership with organisations and experts such as London Wildlife Trust (charity dedicated solely to protecting the capital's wildlife and wild spaces), Thames21 (London waterways charity), The Hydrocitizenship Project, Water Risk Analyst Dr. Richard Bater, Water Aid Charity, UAL Estates Sustainability Department, and The Government Office for Science.

Perfect! One on one tutoring
My son has been working with Silvia for a year and a half now and has only amazing things to say about her. She is a very understanding teacher who is willing to take time with her students to ensure that they overcome any difficulties they face before moving on. Moreover, she provides a great structural framework for lessons whilst allowing room for the student to actively contribute and decide on what they want to work on. This ensures that they are engaged and have some control over what they are practising/studying in their lessons. This leaves them feeling empowered and means that the lessons are collaborative rather than information simply being relayed. Learning with Silvia has been a wonderful experience for him and his passion for art has deepened and magnified throughout the last 1 and a half years. Anyone considering hiring an art tutor should get in contact as you won’t regret it.
Subject : Art and Design
Outcome : Great improvements in ArtPerfect! Art lessons for my 12 yr old boy
My son started to take a keen interest in Art in Year 6 courtesy his school teacher. When he was recommended to put his name for an Arts award, we asked and he agreed to a teacher. We got Silvia by luck and they hit it off pretty well ( my son has preferences). Silvia has introduced him to different materials, kept it versatile with drawing faces and scenes and generally been keen to understand what his choices are. He looks forward to her classes and with her help also got the Award !! She is quite passionate about her work and teaching and is always 100% engaged. She knows how to deal with 12 yr old boys and that is an art !!

Perfect! Recommendation for Sylvia
Sylvia proved to be an excellent and inspiring tutor for my daughter. Within a relatively short timeframe Sylvia greatly improved her performance and enjoyment of Art and her grade improved from a predicted D to an awarded B. Tutorials were cut short by Covid and therefore this improvement was very significant. I would strongly recommend her as an Art tutor.
Subject : Art and Design
Outcome : Improvement in grades and greatly enhanced enjoyment of the subject.- Silvia's response :It's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for this glowing review.
Perfect! Fantastic

Perfect! Teriffic Tutor!
My god-daughter was gifted these art classes over a year ago and we have been extraordinarily happy with Silvia and, as such, have extended classes indefinitely. She has taken a complete novice, in both my daughter and myself, and guided us both though the process of making the most of the site and service, and more importantly, my daughter's interest in art. Silvia has been instrumental in developing her confidence and skills, as well as dealing with a challenging home environment. In addition to home visits, locations visits, supplies and inspiration, Silvia also entered my little one into a local competition. We believe a vital component in not only increasing her confidence but an invaluable experience and introduction to the art world.
Thank you Silvia! We would high commend and recommend her to anyone.

Silvia Krupinska and I, the Nursery teacher, worked together with a group of 14 four-year-olds at our diverse Nursery over four afternoons to create a collaborative Art piece.
After an initial meeting with myself to discuss the aims and possibilities, Silvia made detailed plans for the project taking into account the EAD curriculum and ethos of the Nursery.
Throughout the project, Silvia was professional, cooperative and sensitive to the needs of the range of fours year, planning ahead, preparing resources and adapting plans and strategies throughout.
New to working with the age group, Silvia quickly developed skills in communicating with and engaging with them, responding positively to suggestions.To Whom It May Concern:
Silvia Krupinska has been known to me for three years. Initially she was my tutor during a period of 6 months in year 2014 and subsequently we remained in touch as friends. Therefore I can vouch for her suitability both personally and professionally.
As a full-time student of BA Fine Art course I had the opportunity to undertake work placements with artists or art organisations, facilitated by the School of Arts at Oxford Brookes University. I chose Silvia for my Placement in the Creative and Cultural Industries module mainly because of her outstanding portfolio and her rich résumé as an art practitioner.
During this time we spend together, Silvia guided me through a clear understanding of professional environment and skills requested for professional artists.
In my experience she is very dedicated to her work and passionate about the subject she specializes in. This was evident in the quality and level of support she gave me as my tutor. We were always following Silvia’s punctual teaching schedule, with a clear idea right from the beginning of our collaboration. Furthermore, I appreciated the most Silvia’s excellent organization skills and maintaining interesting and creative structure of our timetable.
I therefore have no reservations in recommending her for this post. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need further information.
Yours sincerely
