About Cyrus
I am a practising artist and filmmaker who graduated from the MFA Fine Art degree at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, where I was awarded the Clarendon Scholarship, a fully-funded award based on outstanding academic merit and potential. I previously studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL where I graduated with first class honours and was placed on the Dean's list (top 5% of graduating students). I've exhibited at notable galleries such as South London Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, and the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre. My work was selected as part of the New Contemporaries in 2019, and my films have been selected in multiple film festivals internationally.
My students have secured offers and scholarships at top universities including UCL, UAL, King's College London, and the University of Hong Kong.

I'm keen to help students who are applying to art school at foundation and university level, and can assist with portfolio reviews, application statements, writing on contemporary art, and practical skills for your next project. I have a particular expertise in camera-based media, and employ a holistic method of teaching with a friendly approach. Typical sessions are 1 - 1.5 hours long where we will discuss your portfolio, personal statement and other concerns regarding your application. I can also provide guidance on artwork documentation, having worked as a professional product photographer for the past 5 years.

Cyrus was extremely helpful during my university application process, specifically regarding my personal statement and art portfolio. He provided structured guidance on brainstorming new artworks and offered practical advice on how to tailor my portfolio to meet the requirements of my chosen course. Throughout our sessions, he was patient and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the admissions process. He is an effective guidance counselor and teacher who provides clear, professional support. With his help, I got into all the courses that I have applied for, and I will be heading to UCL to pursue Art and Technology.
I’ve known Cyrus for over 10 years now, from studying an art foundation diploma together. He is a talented artist and a warm and friendly teacher. I can say that he is an excellent advisor on academic applications and helped me a lot on preparing for my own interviews. I highly recommend Cyrus for anyone who wants to apply to art school or is seeking thoughtful guidance on their work and portfolio.
Cyrus is a supportive, friendly, and talented tutor who I have had the privilege of knowing for many years. He has a decorated CV as an artist and filmmaker, having received degrees from some of the world's leading universities and exhibited his work internationally. Moreover, he is an excellent teacher – I was lucky enough to receive feedback on my own artistic practice from Cyrus, and greatly benefitted from his calm, insightful, and constructive guidance. He has wide ranging exertise, and is well-placed to provide support on applications, portfolio reviews, practical skills, and more. As a tutor myself, I unreservedly recommend Cyrus for anyone looking for tutoring services.
