Ideal candidates have professional experience as a visual artist, prior teaching or coaching experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping students grow both their craft and their career. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high‑quality, supportive experience for every student.
