English for your Art career

Have you have spent years developing your art skills? Do you dream of a future career in design at Google or VFX at Industrial Light and Magic? An English tutor for art students can give you an edge.

Maybe you worry about your English. Or your confidence.

Let’s face it. Presenting your work in English is difficult. You have to use the right vocabulary and technical terms. You have to think about pronunciation. and showing your process.

According to this article, being able to communicate about your designs is even more important than design skills: https://www.toptal.com/designers/product-design/effective-design-communication-strategies

US university culture

And it’s a different culture here with unfamiliar challenges and expectations.

I am an English tutor for art students who has worked with many students like yourself from Korea, Taiwan, China, and Japan.

Here’s what one former student had to say:

“Even though I have studied with ESL assistants in Academy of Art, I sometimes need a lot of advice about English and my major’s study. Therefore, I tried to find tutoring on the internet. Then, I found Kevin with many recommendations. He already knows a lot of knowledge of theory and research as well as design. Whenever I take his class, I get a lot of useful advice for my study from him. Finally, I have improved my grades and lessened the burden of my academic study. Highly recommended!”

I also have an art background: https://www.instagram.com/kingrootart/

I’m an international student from Taiwan and studying for a Master’s degree in Sculpture at Academy of Art University. My English skills were not even on the average level before we started classes, and I could only barely keep myself alive in school. Kevin has been giving me a lot of advice and helps to improve my English skills. He also was very helpful in passing the Midpoint Review. We’ve been training my grammar, writing skill, pronunciation, accent, time management, and future career and work development in our class. Kevin has not only helped me to improve my English, but also taught me to integrate into American culture, and helped me to have ability to find a good job in the future. Now I can communicate with native speakers very naturally, and I can write essays that impress the instructor. All in all, if you want to improve your English skills and also try to find a job in the U.S, Kevin is the best option you have

I’m a master degree student in VFX at Academy of Art University. I’ve been studying with Kevin since 2017. When I first met Kevin, I couldn’t speak a complete sentence in English at all, but now I can talk with native speakers very comfortably. I believe these two points are the most important things for all international students. Kevin conducted a series of courses that were exclusively for me. Now, we are focused on how to network, impress professional people and learn American interview skills. Especially if you are from Asia, Korea, Japan, etc., and you also really want to get an education and a good job here.

Kevin taught me that I could achieve more than what I thought I could. And he encouraged me to apply to several different fashion schools, including FIDM. He showed me the correct way to write the application essay, which was key in getting me accepted by the admissions board at FIDM!
