About your tutor

Liane van der Hoven art and design tutor

I am internationally certified in best-practice Blended Online Learning as well as Cambridge AS and A level Art and Design. I achieved my BA in Fine Art (Ed) and received the Maggie Laubser scholarship from the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.

I have taught art and design at private and public schools for many years. I have also taught at tertiary level and understand what is expected of students and their admission portfolios.

Both my Honours and Master’s degrees in Cultural History were awarded cum laude, thanks to an excellent command of academic English and well-honed academic skills, which I transfer to my students.

I put no limitation on the level of excellence that can or must be achieved. Each journey I accompany is unique and precious... My challenge to you is simply to be the very best version of yourself... whatever that may look like. You’ll benefit from my study of Neurodiversity and various educational systems and approaches, including Waldorf.

As artist, designer and entrepreneur, I speak from a place of personal experience. I live what I teach.
