I believe art and design should be a flexible and rewarding experience. Each student has different passions and skills and one size does not fit all. I feel when the techniques and methodology of creating art is acquired, many people can be artists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who graduated from MCAD bring firsthand experience with the school's rigorous curriculum, teaching philosophy, and expectations. They understand the specific challenges students face in MCAD's interdisciplinary programs and can offer practical insights into succeeding in studio courses, critiques, and conceptual development—knowledge that goes beyond what general tutors can provide.

MCAD alumni tutors excel in visual arts fundamentals, digital media, graphic design, illustration, fine arts, art history, and creative writing. Many also tutor in supporting academic subjects like English composition, critical thinking, and humanities courses that are integrated into MCAD's curriculum. Their studio experience gives them unique perspective on how to develop both technical skills and conceptual thinking.

Your first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your specific goals—whether that's improving portfolio work, tackling a challenging assignment, or strengthening foundational skills. The tutor will ask about your current coursework, learning style, and areas where you need the most support, then create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

Yes. Tutors who attended MCAD understand portfolio standards and can provide constructive feedback on your work, help you refine your artistic voice, and guide you through the selection and presentation of pieces. They can also offer advice on documenting your process and articulating your conceptual thinking—skills that strengthen both your portfolio and your ability to discuss your work in critiques.

MCAD alumni tutors have participated in countless critiques and know how to help you articulate your ideas, defend your creative choices, and respond to feedback constructively. They can conduct practice critiques with you, teach you how to analyze your own work critically, and help you develop the vocabulary and confidence to engage meaningfully in the critique process.

Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience and expertise. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors whose qualifications match your needs, and you can discuss rates directly. Many students find that personalized instruction from someone who understands MCAD's specific demands is a worthwhile investment in their academic and creative success.

Absolutely. Many MCAD alumni tutors support students in liberal arts courses, writing, humanities, and other academic subjects required as part of the curriculum. Their experience navigating MCAD's integrated approach to education means they understand how to balance studio work with academic coursework and can help you manage both effectively.

Simply tell Varsity Tutors about your specific needs—the courses you're taking, the skills you want to develop, and your goals. You'll be matched with a tutor who has MCAD experience and expertise in your area. From there, you can schedule your first session and start getting personalized support right away.
