About Me

What do parents and adult learners say?

"Elaine is a fantastic teacher and a talented lady too. The Junior Art School is the best class that I have ever taken my teenager to. She absolutely loves it and the art work produced is of the highest standard. Elaine delivers top quality tuition in a safe and pleasant location."

"I’m really glad that I decided to sign up for Elaine’s Friday morning art class. She is a fabulous and supportive teacher. Her demonstrations and guidance about how to approach certain art projects is really helpful. The class is fun and friendly, with everyone working at their own level."

"Elaine, at the Linlithgow Art School, demonstrates all the traits of a great art teacher: passion for art, a love of teaching, patience, inspiration to students and an engagement with all her students."

"Yes I believe based on my years experience as a former headteacher that Elaine Woo Macgregor is the best tutor of art I have been lucky enough to have experienced since my retirement over 4 years ago."

"My son had a great time exploring different methods and media yesterday at the summer art school. The work he has produced is outstanding. Elaine was brilliant!"

"Elaine is a wonderful art teacher and a very supportive, approachable and helpful person."

"Each lesson had been carefully prepared to expose students to a wide range of creative expressive approaches to art. I actually felt like I was in art school for 8 weeks."

"Kids had an ‘Amazing’ time at Summer Art school- lots of different types of artwork came home! They were so excited to tell us all about what it was and how it was made. Thanks Elaine for a fab day."

"I simply cannot recommend her highly enough!"
