Private 1:1 Art Lessons FAQ's

• What ages do you teach?

I teach ages 5 and up for private lessons. I also teach teens, adults, and seniors. I recommend for ages 5 to 7 that lessons last thirty minutes at a time, rather than the full hour.

• For ages 18 and under, does the parent or guardian have to be present in the building? 

​I require that when I teach private students 18 and under, that a parent or guardian be present in the building for the duration of the lesson. At my studio in Baltimore there is free water, coffee, wifi and a small library area where a parent can sit. 

• How do I sign up for lessons?

​​If you want to sign up for an in person lesson, more information can be found here  
If you want to sign up for a virtual lesson, contact me here to arrange a time. 

• How much are lessons?

​Summer 2024 Special:
One hour private in-person or virtual lesson costs 55 dollars. 
Save 20 dollars with a bundle of four private lessons costing 50 dollars for each hour lesson. 

• Do I have to use my private lessons once a week?

​​Not necessarily! Typically I find that students want to meet once a week, but once you buy a single lesson or a bundle of four lessons you can spread the lessons out in time how ever you feel comfortable. Sometimes, if a student buys the bundle of four lessons it will last four months, with us meeting once a month. ​

• How do I pay for lessons?

The easiest form of payment I accept is PayPal. For virtual lessons, I will send you a calendar in order to choose a time and you will be prompted to pay for the lesson ahead of time, prior to each lesson. If you want a in-person lesson, I will send you a invoice over email and it will need to be paid through PayPal prior to each lesson.

• Where are the private lessons held?

I teach at my art studio at the Center Arts and Studios in the Mill Centre in Hampden, Baltimore, MD. My studio is located at 3000 Chestnut Ave, Suite 338, Baltimore MD 21211. 

• How do you go about teaching virtual art lessons?

I have found that virtual teaching has the same benefits as in person teaching. I set up one camera on profile and one on my work station where I can do demonstrations. 

• ​Who supplies the materials?

Students are responsible for supplying the materials.

• Do you have a cancelation policy?

Yes. I require 24 hours notice if the lesson needs to be canceled. If I don't receive 24 hour notice, the cost of the lesson is forfeited and can not be refunded.
