PRIVATE 1:1 TUTORIALS IN A NUTSHELL
__________________________________

I provide 1-on-1 private calligraphy, handwriting and lettering coaching sessions —week days or weekends— for a calligraphy introduction or to deepen in one particular style.

These private coaching sessions are conducted online via Zoom.

I specialise in Copperplate calligraphy, cursive handwriting, script brush lettering, vector-based lettering using Illustrator and Glyphs, and illustrated lettering.

I teach broad-edge pen Roman Capitals, Modern Carolingian, Italic calligraphy, Neuland and Blackletter for beginners.
