“I cannot recommend Cindy or AP Art Tutors enough. My daughter Chloe was struggling with her art portfolio and working with a teacher who wasn’t entirely clear about the works and process pieces to be submitted, nor could she provide any guidance on the written components of the portfolio. Cindy has decades of experience teaching AP Art. She knew exactly what had to be done, guided Chloe in a step by step way, giving her manageable to-do lists each week and worked with her to make sure that her work was thoughtful and appropriate. As soon as Cindy was involved, I never once worried again. Chloe unfortunately had to restart in January and Cindy still got her through. She’s a gem and I’ll be using her again next year.”

“I had Ms. Hodges as my AP Art teacher and she was fantastic to work with. She allows you the flexibility to work within the style of art you want to create but helps push you outside of your comfort zone. You will get better if she is your tutor! Managed to get a five with her help. She’s also a very kind and encouraging person.”

“Hello Audrey. Thank you so much for all the great help. Your expertise has made a significant difference in Nicole’s grades. I still remember how she was struggling with C’s and D’s back in March, but since you began tutoring her, she’s been getting A’s on her sustained investigation #8 and #9 assignments. I just can not express my appreciation enough. Once again, thank you for all you do.”

“Amazing , knowledgeable, kind and simply outstanding tutor.
When my daughter signed up for AP 2D Design as a self study course while completing high school in Dubai, we underestimated the coursework. We reached out to a tutor to help with the AP course and quite frankly it was a complete waste of time. Then we found Audrey and she simplified everything for my daughter and helped her in every step of the way. She was ever so patient and kind and above all knowledgeable. One thing about Audrey is keeping my daughter motivated to work and produce the best quality of work. She helped her in preparing the documentation for submission. She was the teacher that Noura did not have for the course. Thanks to her Noura got a 4 in her AP 2D design. Without Audrey, my daughter would have never done it. She is truly remarkable and can’t recommend her enough for tuition in Art. We will be again using her services for my son’s submission in few years.

“Hodges attention to detail when it came to the AP Portfolio submissions and guidance was beyond compare. I had her for 3 years as my teacher for both Studio Art, AP Art as well as photography. She allowed me to grow as an artist and the skills I learned beyond just the technical art skills, such as photoshopping or learning how to photograph pieces correctly are skills I still use to this day. Not only that, but she also cares about her students and their well-beings. She would always be able to notice if anyone was having a bad day and gave them the space and time to create art. Highly recommend.”

Ms. Brown is knowledgeable about all of the different aspects necessary to apply to art school. She had a wonderful rapport with my daughter and helped her to feel more confident through the process, even making it fun. Ms. Brown went above and beyond with her support. My daughter ended up having a number of great art schools to choose from, and Ms. Brown was a huge help through the process.”

“Absolutely phenomenal teaching. I had a special situation where I wasn’t offered an AP teacher, I just took the course. However, thanks to my tutors, I was able to not only finish my portfolio, which was a struggle, but preserve and develop meaningful art. They are very flexible and kind while also keeping you in check.”

“I had art class with Ms. Audrey Brown at San Leandro High and her classes were always fun. She really made me feel valued as a student. Her knowledge of art and the art world combined with her methods of teaching really aided in my personal journey today as an artist and I felt the most creative with her encouragements and teachings while working on projects. Her positive attitude and creative teachings were the best part of my day and reasons for actually getting up and going to school.”
