Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there, I'm Gaby the Art Guide!
I’m so excited to share my love of art and creativity with your child! As a creative art tutor, I specialize in nurturing self-expression and imagination through engaging, hands-on activities. My classes are designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and develop artistic skills in a fun and supportive environment.
I have over 7 years of experience working with children in the classroom and a strong background in the arts. I completed my Associate’s Degree in Art Education at Broward College and have been an awarded and featured artist in numerous South Florida art galleries. I’m also a published writer, children’s book author, and have previously managed an advanced art studio for kids, where I designed sensory-rich and inclusive art lessons for learners of all ages and abilities. From splashing paint on the walls, to mosaics, to pottery, to fashion, we created it all!
I also provide one-on-one private sessions where students can learn a new art skill, such as air-dry clay, beading/jewelry-making, sewing, fashion design, 3-D art, or watercolors. The possibilities are endless!
These custom lessons are tailored to each student's favorite art medium for a truly personalized experience with Gaby the Art Guide!
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that creativity is essential for every child’s growth. I aim to inspire children to explore their unique talents while fostering a love for the arts and a deeper connection to the world around them.Reviews
