Portfolio Tutorial
One-to-one portfolio core tutoring
We are focusing on the personal portfolios of applying for preparatory, undergraduate, master's, and other projects in art and design.
Under the guidance of a team of professional tutors from relevant colleges and universities, students are assessed and assigned to different universities and colleges of their interest. We offer professional courses which enable students to be independent thinkers and self-reliant in their academic pursuits without undermining professional foundations.
Our students are admitted into the world's top art and design colleges without exception. This includes: Royal College of Art, University of the Arts London, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Parsons School of Design, Architectural Association School of Architecture, UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, Rhode Island School of Design and other world top schools.
We develop a comprehensive tracking customized teaching plan for preparatory and undergraduate students who need to enter a higher school in the UK. We combine the program's theme with the student's school topics and ensure that students can complete the programs with the highest efficiency in a limited time.
We aim to achieve real-time sharing of excellent local tutors and teaching resources for global students. With the help of the online platform, British and American tutors teach online, formulate learning plans synchronized with local offline courses for overseas students, and help global students track the internal examination information and enrollment trends of British and American art colleges from a zero distance.
Portfolio Steps
Portfolio counselling process
Step 1 Portfolio Evaluation
For students who contact GALATEA for the first time, our teaching team will make a professional evaluation based on their art direction, current works, and learning situation. They will issue a detailed evaluation report which objectively reflects their art foundation and suitable direction and formulate a specific curriculum planning scheme.
Step 2 Curriculum Project Planning
The first lesson will be conducted after accurately matching the 1-to-1 tutors. The teaching supervisor, design tutor, and students will communicate together to deeply explore the students’ interests and expertise, determine the artistic direction, customize the most accurate and efficient portfolio planning scheme, and accurately grasp the style of the portfolio for planning combined with the topics in school.
Step 3 Basic Course Training and Improvement
The curriculum project planning will carry out the training and improvement of introductory courses and skills in the professional direction of the art design, focusing on cultivating students' independent thinking and autonomous learning ability. They will encourage students to form interdisciplinary thinking and lead students to deeply develop their creative potential.
Step 4 Portfolio Project Promotion
GALATEA's art design portfolio tutorial is provided in a multi-to-one teaching configuration (online professional tutors for overseas students + offline technical tutors) to provide complete guidance and supervision to each student. The educational administration supervisor, professional tutors, and educational administration teachers will follow up and control the whole process around the students to ensure that students can find their clear project ideas, objectives, and high-quality output works.
Step 5 Quality Feedback in Stage
In the project process, the GALATEA team will reasonably control the students learning progress from time, class hours, quality of work, etc., and follow up in real-time. Both teachers and students will jointly provide feedback. The team will listen to the students' opinions on time and make corresponding teaching adjustments.
Step 6 Final Review
After completing the portfolio, the overseas tutor or the exclusive teaching supervisor will conduct the final review of the portfolio, correct the details of the portfolio, check the omissions and fill in the gaps, and ensure the quality of the portfolio and the document.

Sublimation of design thinking
Guide students to actively conduct material practice and thematic research, help students understand various design elements, broaden their horizons by understanding other art categories, break through the static thinking mode, and open up a new dimension of thinking. Try to combine classic design cases with avant-garde artistic concepts to help students get through the bottleneck period of creative exhaustion and enhance the taste and ideological depth in the portfolio.
