Within many Art & Design GCSE and A Level courses students are closely directed as a group by their teacher and guided in a ‘step by step’ style through the creation of a portfolio. This often means they have little freedom or autonomy over their work. At CreatEd, we feel strongly about doing this differently. We take time to get to know our students - their hobbies, interests, strengths and weaknesses - and then support them each in creating a portfolio that is completely original to their peers, reflects them as an individual and perhaps most importantly, becomes a project they are fully engaged with and enjoy creating.
Details of group classes are outlined below. We are also able to teach the GCSE Photography course on a 1:1 basis. Please contact us for details.

FAQs
-
There is no minimum or maximum age! However, if you wish for a child under the age of 13 to start the GCSE please do get in touch to discuss this first.
-
It is important that the learners attend the online lessons live due to examination regulations and the need for us to confirm that the student's work is their own.
-
You can choose to pay for the course either as a whole, or the total cost of the course can be split over 19 months.
-
Technical skills can be taught. What's much more important is motivation, creative thinking skills and a genuine interest in the subject.
-
In order to authenticate a students’ work before it is submitted to the exam board, your child’s tutor needs to have seen them working. So having cameras on for the majority of live sessions is important.
