About Yassie
I began my first drawing and painting lessons at a private painting studio. The teacher I had was very methodical. We first learned drawing, then rendering with graphite pencils, then color pencil and finally we were able to choose a painting medium if we wanted. I then continued my art education at the college level, taking design, figure drawing, oil painting, watercolor, fashion design, ceramics, and other such classes. I loved my background in drawing and painting and wanted to see how I could apply it to other surfaces and bring it into the 3D world, and after a class in metalsmithing, I decided that would be what I would major in school. I received my Bachelor's in Fine Arts in 3D Media, with emphasis in Metalsmithing from California State University of Long Beach. I have worked as a teacher for the past 15 years. I taught after-school art classes at various schools, then moved on to teach art part-time at an elementary school, and then as a full-time art teacher at a middle school. I've helped students with creating portfolios to apply to art high schools as well as college with success. I am a multidisciplinary artist so I have not only done painting and drawing projects with my students, I have also taught them sculpting, ceramic arts, and sewing. I love teaching. I feel like it opens a world of possibility for people.

I have taught private classes online, at my home, and at private studios. I have also worked as an art teacher within the school systems for the past 7 years.
I use a student-centered approach. Regardless of the student's age, they will have a choice in what they'd like to learn. I will then provide the scaffolding needed to learn those specific skills and reach their goals.
Students can approach me with a predetermined project in mind or I can help them brainstorm, create sketches, and choose a final design based on their needs and desires.
A typical painting lesson for a beginner student will involve showing them how to create various colors using the primary colors and black and white. The students will learn how to create tints, shades, and tones and how to use them to add dimension and depth to their art. If they are painting a still life or painting from a reference they will learn about proportion to help them make a more accurate representational painting.
I take joy in creating and teaching, and am very easy going to work with. I care deeply about my students and clients and it's extremely important for me to know that they are walking away happy with their experience.

Found this gem of a woman on a trip to visit my sister. Not only is she knowledgeable and extraordinarily talented, she has a patient way to teaching and correcting that made the skills I learned with her applicable when I returned to my studio. Highly recommend ️️️️️
Yassie worked on my team as a specialty teacher for middle school students for 4 years. She is smart, creative, funny, professional, and charismatic. Teaching middle schoolers is not always easy but she was able to do it with flair and grace. I admire and appreciate Yassie and believe that she would make an amazing and trustworthy teacher.
Yassie is an exceptionally gifted instructor. She has a warm, optimistic spirit that makes learning fun and rewarding. A skilled artist and jewelry designer, she is always interested in learning more. She likes to push the boundaries of techniques, creating a shared learning adventure. Her patience and generosity with her time makes her a great guide by the side for beginners and those with advanced practices. Her work with me changed my relationship to my craft and I will be forever grateful to her.
I have known Yassie for several years. We have a few mutual friends and I have worked with her relatives in the past. She’s very kind and professional. Yassie is a trustworthy teacher because she creates solid boundaries with her students and communicates very effectively. She is great with children sans my kids have enjoyed her classes very much.
Yassie is the best painting teacher our elementary aged children had the good fortune to learn from. We first met her at a children's art studio when we were visiting California, before we moved here . Our kids are now teens, but we never forgot about Yassie's incredible talent and her warmth, and her ability to bring out the best in every single student, no matter their level of skill or confidence. I remember that our daughter trusted Yassie especially to guide her through any project, no matter how challenging or new. The results were always phenomenal. Kids and parents alike rave about her abilities as a teacher and the lasting knowledge that she's able to impart to students. What a gift!
Yassie and I both taught at the same school for 4 years. We taught groups of the same students and collaborated on several project-based learning experiences over the years. I was always impressed by Yassie’s ability to bring an exciting and unique art component to every project. Her passion for art and teaching enriched the educational experiences of all students who stepped into her room.
Yassie is a dedicated teacher who has experience working with students of all grade levels on a wide range of art forms. She has worked with students in a variety of settings from a structured classroom setting to a personalized one on one environment. She uses research based teaching methodology to help students develop as artists and critical thinkers.I recommend Yassi as a Superprof tutor. We are connected through our amazing work experience we had and I am aware of Yassi's professional style. I believe that Yassi would be an excellent art tutor for everyone. She is an expert in painting and teaching and has a strong commitment to helping others.
