Kaliyah: Santa Rosa tutor

Certified Tutor

My passion for helping students comes from a lifelong love of art and the belief in the power of education. Since I was young, I've been drawing and honing my skills, and this naturally led me to help others. After graduating, I continued to assist students by visiting my former teachers and offering guidance during my free time.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Art & Design at Nova Southeastern University. Alongside my studies, I am self-teaching animation to prepare for a future in the animation industry. This dual approach allows me to save for specialized courses while continuously improving my craft.

I tutor subjects related to art and design, such as drawing, perspective, color theory, and digital illustration. My favorite subject to tutor is perspective drawing because it's rewarding to see students create depth and dimension on a flat surface.

My teaching philosophy focuses on patience, encouragement, and adaptability. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable experimenting. My tutoring style is interactive and hands-on, using various tools to cater to different learning styles.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring visual storytelling through animation and experimenting with different art mediums. These interests keep me inspired and fuel my creativity, which I bring into my teaching. By combining my experience, education, and passion for art, I aim to help students develop their skills and confidence in their artistic journey.
