About Keith
I have been doing my thing since the days of Rotring pens and Cow Gum (ask your parents), much of it running my own practice, so I must be doing something right! I have designed dozens of logos, conceived and executed global advertising campaigns, illustrated many, many books, built brands from scratch... and so on. I have won industry awards for my work, including a Benchmark award, a CiB (Communications in Business) award, and a British Travel Press award.
I continue to work as an art director, senior creative and creative brand consultant for charities, and within the corporate field. I make animated movies for charities too, and I have created some national and international brands.
Enough about me. I'm now very keen to pass on my knowledge to a new generation. In what I believe is unique on Superprof, I have devised graded courses, whereby I will set you live tasks each week, then provide detailed guidance and feedback.

These courses are less about the tools and more about answering a design brief, followed by my appraisal and feedback. They assume a level of competence in the three core Adobe programs - Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, although such support is available. I assume also that the student has Adobe CC - this is important! Adobe does deals for students - take a look at Adobe.com - it's quite reasonable.
Talking of reasonable, you'll see that my lesson rate has been designed to be affordable! Although I have a lot of experience in mentorship, I'm new to Superprof, I want to help you, and I don't want cost to be a barrier!
I draw upon my industry experience in setting realistic design, illustration and brand-related briefs - the sort of projects that a designer would be asked to tackle in the commercial world. If a student has a particular passion or interest, such as brand identity, logo design, or hand drawn typography, then I can move the tuition in this direction.
There are three briefs, to be answered over a six-week course.
It's my feeling that a student will get more out of a relationship with a design coach if they learn the application tools under their own steam while answering the live briefs, and then move forward from my appraisal and detailed feedback. Some tutors might spend an hour just explaining the perspective tool in Photoshop - I don't think this is a good use of time.
The graded courses are suitable for:
* A Level students looking to build a portfolio for their Foundation applications
* Foundation students seeking university places
* People already in the workplace exploring ways to expand their skillsets - a marketing professional, for example, who might like to design their own campaigns.
For the programmes to be meaningful, I request that each student should book at least 6 lessons in consecutive weeks and be prepared to spend at least 20 hours working on the briefs between lessons. The feedback and guidance will come in the form of a written document, emailed to you, coupled with a weekly chat to reinforce the contents of that feedback.
Once you make an enquiry I'll get back to you with my website URL so that you can see my work.
To kick off, I offer a complimentary virtual meeting so that I can learn a little about you, establish where you are on your graphic design journey, and what you hope to achieve. If we feel that we're a good fit then we can move on to the briefs!
You'll be amazed at what we can achieve together! I am taking bookings (a limited number) for August through to the end of the year. Do hurry and set up a call with me :)

I have had the pleasure of knowing Keith on both a personal and professional level for many years. He is a generous-spirited, warm, good-humoured and patient person, and I feel that any student who engages in his courses will benefit enormously from his well structured lessons and his intuitive approach to teaching. I would recommend Keith without hesitation.
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Keith, an exceptional educator with whom I had the pleasure of studying during the CELTA course this summer. From the very beginning, it was clear that he possesses a genuine passion for teaching and a remarkable ability to connect with students.
Keith is not only attentive and caring but also demonstrates a high level of professionalism in all aspects of teaching such as advanced technologies and methodologies derived from the University of Cambridge. He seamlessly integrate all innovative approaches into his lessons, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
Keith is an outstanding teacher whose passion for education and dedication to his students are truly inspiring.
I had the pleasure of studying with Keith during our CELTA course in London, and I can confidently say he is a terrific teacher and an even better person. Throughout the course, Keith consistently showed great patience, creativity, and a wonderful sense of humor.
Outside of the classroom, his kindness and generosity truly stood out, he went out of his way to make others feel welcome and supported, which speaks volumes about his character.
As a native English speaker with both CELTA and IELTS mentoring qualifications, Keith carries not only expertise but also a calm, clear, and encouraging presence to his lessons.
I have no doubt that his students will feel both supported and inspired in their learning journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a reliable, dedicated, and genuinely caring English tutor.In my experience Keith understands the importance of balancing developing a student’s skills and confidence to converse in everyday situations, with a solid foundation in English grammar. I’m a nervous language learner and need my teacher to be supportive - Keith is so warm, friendly and patient and because he doesn’t judge I’ve started to believe I really can master the language if I stick with it and with him!!
