About Jo

Hi, I'm Jo, a qualified UK art teacher with over 25 years of experience in art and design.

I originally trained in Interior Design, earning a BA (Hons), before retraining as an art teacher 17 years later.

Since then, I've taught KS3, GCSE and A-Level Art in UK secondary schools and online, working with a wide range of creative young people.

I relocated to France in 2022, where I now teach art online full-time.

Early Career
