    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

    I studied BA in Drama and Film Studies at the University of Pretoria and completed my degree in 2014 and went to obtain a CELTA certificate at International House, Language Lab in Johannesburg in 2015.

    (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.

    Virág
    Character Design for 2D Animation - Photoshop / Illustrator
    My name is Virág, and I am a Visual Development Artist and Character Designer. I have honed my skills as a 2D illustrator and visual developer, working as both a character and background designer in the Netherlands. There, I contributed to a variety of projects, including music videos, informative animations, promotional videos, and posters. Notably, I worked on animated music videos for Spinning Records and Steve Aoki's '6OKI' animated music video series. While my primary focus is on the cartoon style, I have experience in a diverse range of styles, including corporate, whiteboard animation, realistic, and children's illustration. My journey in drawing began in my childhood, with experiences at places like 'Corvin Drawing & Design School' and 'Secondary School of Visual Arts, Budapest'. In 2019, I completed the Concept Art course at 'Mesharray, Budapest', which set me on the path to my current career. I’m excited to share my expertise on character design for animated clips, highlighting key aspects to consider during the design process, the various styles available, and how it all comes together on screen. I’m also offering a Photoshop and Illustrator course designed specifically for beginners who want to dive into the realm of digital drawing. Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about something, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :) Thank you!
