To get off to the best start in private tutoring, you should think about your status. Indeed, as a private teacher, it is important to declare your income so as not to be accused of tax evasion. What are my options? Here are several ways to help you find the right status for you.
Easy Steps to Teach Painting from Home!
According to an Ipsos/Squla survey conducted in 2017, 9 out of 10 student parents would like more student involvement during lessons. Interactive classes are often more beneficial for students who tend to retain information better. This is an educational technique which works best in one-to-one private lessons. But how should tutors give private painting lessons? We are here to tell you everything you need to know to start your business.

The Different Types of Private Lesson
Before launching your business, it is important to define the type of class you want to teach. Private lessons do not necessarily always mean home classes. Here are all the ways you can teach private lessons.
Home Tutoring
Home painting classes can take place at the teacher’s or student’s house. This is a conversation to be had when you first meet your student so that everyone is in agreement. The advantage of doing painting lessons at the teacher’s house is that normally they will have all the necessary equipment and materials at their disposal to help students learn better (different types of paint, easels, aprons, pallets, etc.). The student is, therefore, in the perfect environment to develop their creativity and imagination. There will be a space already prepared for painting. However, if the student has enough space, painting classes can be held at their home.
Webcam Classes
Online lessons are becoming more and more common in the world of private tutoring. Thanks to advances in technology, tutors and students can talk directly via webcam. This method can be used for private lessons if the teacher and the student are too far apart. The advantage of this type of class is that you will be able to reach students from all walks of life, located anywhere in the world. On the other hand, it can sometimes prove more difficult to properly show a technique to a student or correct their mistakes.
Group Lessons
Private lessons can also be taken in groups. But, what are the advantages? Group classes work well for a small group of friends wanting to learn together. Moreover, choosing private lessons allows you to pick your teacher and a schedule that suits everyone. If everyone in the group can agree on a time and a place there won’t be any issues to overcome. The advantage of these classes is that the teacher usually gives students a discounted price or special offer depending on the number of students. In addition, students can paint while chatting and hanging out with their mates.
Intensive Courses
Some students aren’t able to take painting classes every week due to their busy schedule. Intensive courses, for example during the summer or mid-term break, are more likely to attract a wider range of pupils. For example, you can choose to dedicate an entire week to doing charcoal sketches, then spend another week working on canvas using oil-based or acrylic paint. Find out where else you could give painting lessons.
How to Organise a Painting Class?
When teaching for the first time, it is sometimes difficult to know how to arrange a class and how to achieve a good teacher/student relationship. We answer the questions that every private tutor has asked themselves, not just art teachers.
Assess Your Student’s Level
The very first thing a teacher should do is figure out their student’s level. In terms of painting lessons, you could ask the pupil for examples of drawings or paintings they’ve already done. Ask them if they have taken classes before as well. All of this can be done before the first class via email or on the phone. Knowing if the student is a beginner, an advanced level, or somewhere in between, will make it easier to prepare your first lesson.
Plan Your Art Classes
It’s easy to find ready-made programmes on the internet. However, these programs are impersonal and won’t necessarily be suited to the level of your student. It is up to you to put together your lesson plans and it is for this reason that students opt for a private teacher. Oil painting, watercolour painting, acrylic painting, gouache, your syllabus can be original and diverse. Start by revisiting the basics of drawing beforehand to make sure your student is confident in their abilities. You could ask them to draw a portrait, a landscape or a living model. The course must be designed in a way that you can clearly see if the student has acquired certain knowledge and skills they didn’t have before. It must also focus on introducing new techniques or knowledge. Regularly monitor your students Whether this is the first class or you are already into your tenth lesson, don’t forget to chat with your student regularly to bear in mind their goals, expectations and concerns. This is the best way to be sure to stick to your student’s needs and ensure he/she is satisfied with their lessons.
Helping Your Student Improve
Students get a private tutor to improve on a certain skill or gain more knowledge in a certain field of study. Your main role is to get the pupil out of their comfort zone so they can progress and become a proficient painter. Don’t forget to introduce them to a new concept or show a new technique every now and again. Giving your students regular exercises to complete, whether during class or between classes, will help them see progress quickly. Paint a friend, draw their neighbourhood, use perspective, exercises that will push your student to excel while having fun too.
Include Theory Lessons
In painting, practice is obviously the most effective way to progress. However, the culture and history behind art is also very important. Studying well-known works by Courbet, Monet, Rembrandt, etc. allows students to examine their own work and try other painting techniques. Studying the work of famous painters is bound to give your students inspiration. For example, at the start of every lesson, you could present a different artistic movement (Romanticism, Cubism, Dadaism, Realism, etc.). You may also wonder how to find more students for your lessons.

Explore your creative side with painting classes in Canada
The decision to start painting can at times seem very daunting. Many people are reluctant to start, under the false belief that you need to be naturally talented in order to excel at painting. But this could not be farther from the truth! The only things you’ll really need are an enthusiasm and commitment to learn and the right teacher to guide you.
Painting can be an extremely rewarding experience, allowing you to express your creative and artistic side. Whether you want to paint portraits or landscapes, abstract or realist paintings, everyone can master painting techniques and improve their creativity.
Before you start painting.
Before getting started with painting, you may wish to consider what kind of classes you are looking for. Are you an absolute beginner and want to get started or do you already have some experience painting and need some help perfecting your skills? Are you interested in developing your skills in watercolour, oil or acrylic painting? There are thousands of programs to choose from across Canada, so you’ll be sure to find something suited to your specific needs.
Before getting started, you may want to consider why precisely you want to start painting, as this will determine the type of classes, equipment and program you wish to undertake.
There are several important factors to consider when starting painting:
- What kind of paint should I be using? (Acrylics, Oils or Watercolours?)
- What kind of brush should I use?
- What materials do I need ( paint, canvas,
- What surface should I paint?
- What palette should I use?
- What paint colours do I need?
- What do I want to paint?
One of the most important factors think about when you start painting, is what kind of painting you wish to take.
Acrylics are usually recommended for beginners, as they are considered more easy to use relative to other types of paint and do not require any specialised supplies. They are also generally less expensive, and are easier to clean up than other forms of paint. On the other hand, they tend to drive a little faster.
Oil painting is another option used widely by professional artists. Oil tends to be more versatile as it has varying times and consistencies, that allow you to employ a number of different painting techniques.
Lastly, watercolours are generally considered the most difficult of the 3 to master and are generally not recommended for absolute beginners. This is because the nature of the paint can be quite unpredictable, and the fluid nature of water can make it difficult to correct any mistakes and hard to control. It also requires a number of supplies such as including watercolour paints, brushes, masking fluid, masking tape, and watercolour paper.
Painting Classes in Canada
There are so many painting classes in Canada to choose from, so whether you’re an absolute beginner or you’re already a seasoned painter but need some help perfecting your skills, you are sure to find a program suited to you.
Depending where you are in Canada, you may opt to take painting classes with art schools, art galleries or museums, universities, school art programs, community centres and libraries.
Art Galleries and Museums
The Art Gallery of Ontario offers a number of four and eight week courses for students of all levels of experience. The Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton, even offers art history workshops and drop-in classes.
A number of community centres across Canada offer affordable classes for all different levels and types of art. You may opt for weekend or evening classes or special workshops. Check your your local community centre or municipality for classes, but be sure to book quickly as spaces tend to book up fast. You may also want to check with your local library which may organise art workshop and drop-in painting sessions, allowing you to learn in small groups within your local community.
Many universities across Canada offer arts and painting classes to the general public. For example the OCAD university in Toronto offer a range of painting and drawing classes. Check out the website for universities and colleges to see whether they may offer painting lessons near you.
There are a number of online resources and you may even decide to take painting classes online from the comforts of your own home. There are countless ‘introduction to painting’ videos which will teach you basic techniques and allow you to work at your own pace. There are even a number of applications which you can download on your smartphone or tablets to help you develop your painting skills. For example, word-famous galleries such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York or the Louvre in Paris, offer free apps to help you get inspired by world famous art.
Learn painting with a private teacher
Learning painting with a private tutor is one of the most effective and affordable ways to master your painting skills! In comparison to formal group classes, which are often unaffordable and packed with students, private lessons provide individualised instruction to really help you progress. By working with a private tutor, you can customise your lessons to address the specific techniques you’d most like to work and on a schedule which is most suitable for you. Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself when looking for a private tutor:
- What experience do they have?
- What materials do they work with and what materials will I need?
- What does their schedule look like?
- Do they offer lessons at my level?
- What is their teaching methodology?
- What rate do they charge for their lessons?
- Where do they teach? Are they available to teach in my local are?
On Superprof, you’ll be sure to find a suitable tutor in your area or online. Search through thousands of teaching profiles, and you’ll be sure to find a tutor that offers lessons at a price, level and schedule which is suitable for you.
