Art-K is a private art education service that teaches children who love art! We conduct weekly classes during the day, after school, and on weekends. We have developed a specialist art program focused on developing art skills to create great artworks. As the largest art education service in England, we teach over 5,000 children weekly across the country.
All educationalists agree that art has positive effects on mental health, self-confidence, and developing individual personality. art-K promotes these benefits through engaging teachers dedicated to these ideals and providing inspiring, fun art projects.
Our Farnham branch has a wonderful group of students. 75% of the teacher's time is dedicated to teaching and class preparation, while 25% is allocated to admin and promotion.
The successful applicant will receive full training in our teaching methods and techniques. They will be supported by the central support team and other art teachers based in their own studios.
