I draw on my personal education to bring empathy to students with learning differences. Art is a means to bridge communication deficits, allowing the student to find their voice and express themselves. I do not believe in negative critique. It can be extremely harmful to someone's self image. Instead I praise what the student has accomplished and encourage ways to grow skills and enhance the image created. I prefer to teach one-on-one or two students at a time so that I can personalize the lesson to what the student wants to learn or is interested in drawing. This allows the student to achieve successful growth quickly so they want to keep learning. I have been tutoring art for over 3 years. My students have often had learning disabilities but that has not stopped them from being successful with traditional as well as digital art. You can view my skills as an artist at zakfalco.com
