Tutoring Course ~ Wheel (10-Week)

Tutoring doesn’t follow a rigid week-by-week syllabus. Instead, the extra time gives you space to settle in, try things properly, and actually see progress.

Weeks 1–2: Set the Tone

We kick things off by getting clear on what you want to work on. Clear goals, half-formed ideas, or a “let’s see what happens” approach are all welcome. You’ll start making straight away and ease into a rhythm.

Weeks 3–6: Make, Test, Tweak

This is the heart of the course. You’ll work on your own projects while your tutor demos techniques, helps problem-solve, and nudges things in the right direction. Expect experimentation, refining skills, and a few “ahhh, that’s better” moments.

Weeks 7–8: Push It a Little Further

By now, confidence has kicked in. You might scale things up, try new forms, revisit tricky techniques, or take a project further than you would in a shorter course.

Weeks 9–10: Finish, Glaze, Reflect

Time to glaze, wrap up projects, and look back at how far you’ve come. This is about finishing strong, locking in learnings, and setting yourself up for whatever you want to work on next.
