Alexandra G.
Private tutor in Austin, TX
Education
Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from the University of Houston. Graduated 2013 with a 3.25 GPA.
Experience
-Oldest of 4 children, tutored all of them throughout school -Babysitter of middle school kids, also tutored them -I would like to be a tutor because while in school and learning, sometimes there isn't just one way of teaching and who better to help find a way of teaching so kids can learn that someone who recently went through school themselves. I want to use my creative thinking and problem solving to help other students ace that test or pass their hardest class. I have taken extensive studio art classes as well as art history classes in topics ranging from Impressionism to History of Design. I have taken several sociology classes, the most recent being Sociology of Gender. I currently work as Assisstant Printer at Flatbed Press under master lithographer Veronica Ceci. This has enabled me to use my technical printmaking skills and creative problem solving to work with several artists on their own projects using a variety of skills from color theory and mixing to gauging the viscosity of inks and changing them to be where they need to be. I have experience with ceramics, acrylic paint and gouache as well as paper crafts, wooden sculptural elements and fibers.

Hobbies
I love going on hikes with my husky golden retriever Marly and creating new works. I am currently building a body of work to send to graduate schools to obtain my Masters in Printmaking. I spend a lot of time reading and researching new artists and learning about the latest happenings in the neuroscience field as well. I have an innate curiosity that enables me to ask and answer many questions with ease. I love exploring the way different brains work and figuring out the most effective way to communicate with people as a whole.
