From A-Level Art to University-Ready Portfolio
Portfolio & Admissions Mentorship
Polina came to Cadmium during her A-Level studies feeling unsupported in both her Art coursework and EPQ. She lacked clear guidance on how to develop her ideas at depth and felt uncertain about how her work would translate into a strong university portfolio.
She was concerned that without specialist input, her grades and portfolio quality would not reflect her ambitions.
Through our Portfolio & Admissions Mentorship, we worked across both her A-Level Art and EPQ. She gained a deeper understanding of contemporary art, refined her technical decisions, and learned how to build projects with greater clarity and intention. Her portfolio became more cohesive, ambitious, and aligned with her future university pathway.
Polina now approaches her work with stronger critical understanding and confidence in her artistic direction.
“India has been absolutely fantastic. I leave every session feeling inspired, supported and more confident in my work.
She understood exactly what I needed for both my A-Level Art and EPQ, and her guidance made a real difference. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
