About Me
My name is Jeandré and I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I have worked as an English teacher for over five years and was a Drama, Musical Theatre, and Photoshop teacher. I have taught over 10,000 students in three different countries, with students ranging from the ages of 3 to 22, all coming from Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, and Russia. My career started in China, then South Korea, and for the past three years teaching English and Drama in South Africa and online and also indulging in educational content creation.I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Arts and Film Studies degree in 2014 at the University of Pretoria and soon after, I completed my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English for Adults) course at IH Language Lab. I also coordinated the island programs, creating curriculums and educational content for lessons. In the main program, I taught English to over 1500 new students weekly over a two-year period, where I taught multiple subjects with a focus on English and engaged in practices that enhanced their learning experiences. When I returned to South Africa, I was offered a substitute Dramatic Arts High School teacher position at FH Odendaal for Grade 10 to 12. Afterward, I entered an online teaching and content creation journey where I taught English online for the past three years at Whales English and other online teaching companies, teaching students from the ages of 3 to 14. Simultaneously, I started a job as an Educational Content Creator at Bla Bla Edu Tech.
I have a fast understanding of all different subjects, students' ages, cultures, religions, educational backgrounds, families, and influences with a deeper appeal to be an all-rounded teacher by being influential in multiple facets through my teachings, my art, life lessons, my empathy and understanding for students. I'm an exceptionally fast learner with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and teaching and empowering others by utilizing my skills and experiences to enhance their experiences to the best degree.
Education

In advertising and marketing this is a very important part and often underexposed or less thought through. By thinking, discussing, sketching, trying and learning better techniques, conceptual thoughts take shape and are the basis for an elaboration. I motivate you to think creatively and teach you the techniques to visualize this.

(Digital) Art classes for art lovers and beginners.Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!
Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.
I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.
I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Fine Art/Art & Design/Photography (A Level/GCSE and beyond)To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.
Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.
Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.
