  • Emma, hi, Hello!

    My boss’ son (17) will be in Barcelona this summer (the last 2 weeks of July and the first week in August) and he is looking for an art tutor for drawing, sketching and charcoal with whom he can work twice a week. Might you please be able to point me in the right direction. He can speak some Spanish so the English isnt a requirement. Please let me know if you know anyone I might be able to contact?

    Thank you so very much,

    Gaby
